Colic, Reflux, & Gas in Infants
Frequent crying, discomfort, or difficulty settling after feeds can leave parents feeling helpless and exhausted. Many babies experience symptoms like gas, reflux, or colic in the early months of life — often due to tension, immaturity of the digestive system, or difficulty coordinating their muscles for feeding and digestion.
At OWN Pediatric Therapy, we provide gentle, baby-focused therapy to help relieve gas, colic, and digestive discomfort while supporting the development of healthy bowel and bladder function.
Understanding Colic, Reflux, & Gas in Babies
It’s normal for infants to have fussy periods, but excessive crying, arching, or trouble passing gas may signal underlying tension in the muscles and fascia that support digestion and breathing.
Common Signs of Digestive Discomfort in Infants
Frequent crying or irritability, especially after feeding
Trouble burping or passing gas
Spitting up often or showing signs of reflux
Difficulty settling or sleeping
Hard, infrequent stools or straining to poop
Arching or stiffening of the body during feeds
Preference for one feeding position or side
These symptoms can stem from restrictions in the diaphragm, core, or pelvic region that affect how the digestive system moves.
