Our baby was extremely fussy and did not sleep well unless we were holding her. We tried different formula, medication for acid reflux, a number of soothing techniques and nothing helped. After 6-8 weeks of little sleep and much frustration our doctor finally referred us to the Birth to Three program and assigned a Physical Therapist who diagnosed her with Regulatory Disorder. She could not regulate her emotions and was stuck in a "scared" state. A few months of massage and exercise designed to build her core muscles and stimulate the brain as well as teach her self calming techniques made all the difference. If you are concerned about your baby's fussiness please talk to your doctor about this program. Here is video 3 of 3 showing just a little of what we learned from our therapist.
