00:00It's very early to have me.
00:01Absolutely.
00:03Yeah.
00:03And then last night went to 5am.
00:05Yeah.
00:07It's alright.
00:08Hey.
00:09Hey.
00:15I don't mind too much if she cries for a minute because it actually allows me to see inside
00:21her mouth and check her palate and her gums and the blood supply.
00:30The oxygenation.
00:35Alright.
00:38That's a good little trick, that one.
00:41Just wriggle that bottom.
00:44Oh, and spew on the chiropractor.
00:46That's alright.
00:47That happens every day.
00:48I don't have any pants without baby spew on them.
00:52See this here?
00:53I don't know if you can tell, but she's just got this real, very specific pattern.
01:00You can touch the fluid there.
01:01Can you see that?
01:02This side not so much.
01:03Yeah, so it must be a bit swollen there.
01:05And then, see how swollen that is there?
01:07Yeah.
01:08If this nerve supply is affected, the production of hydrochloric acid is affected in the tummy
01:13and the milk doesn't get digested properly so it starts to ferment, for want of a better
01:20word.
01:20So the pH changes.
01:22So you give them a bit more food and it neutralizes that acidity a little bit and they think it's
01:29a lot more comfortable and then they settle for a bit.
01:32And then soon after, when that milk starts to ferment and produce a lot of gas and wind,
01:39they get really uncomfortable again.
01:41And so you just end up in this vicious cycle all night.
01:44And in the end they're overfed because...
01:46Yeah, she just fed the whole night of life.
01:51That's right.
01:51They'll feed all night because they're just constantly looking for that relief.
01:56Yeah.
01:56But the relief actually causes an increase of the symptom half an hour later.
02:00Yeah.
02:01They never like tummy time these babies that have got this problem.
02:05As soon as I straighten her.
02:08And if I get the pressure off the joint, she stops.
02:12It's not breaking.
02:13It's like automatic.
02:15Look, she just goes...
02:16Floppy now.
02:17Like dead asleep floppy.
02:19And if I just straighten her out a little bit, it's immediate.
02:25And I'll let her pelvis drop down a bit.
02:29Back to sleep.
02:29Oh my goodness.
02:30Back to sleep.
02:30We could do that all day.
02:32We're not going to.
02:33But...
02:34So we need to correct this.
02:35So I'm just going to use the end of my two fingers like...
02:38Imagine that bit there is her vertebra.
02:41Yeah.
02:41I'm just going to sneak my fingers either side of it like that.
02:44And then I'm just going to take it down like that to get the vertebra into the right position.
02:50And the correction will just be like that.
02:52It's about the amount of pressure you can tolerate on your own eyeball.
02:55Yeah.
02:55But it'll look more than that because she's so flexible.
02:58I'm going to...
02:59I'm going to...
