Unsettled Babies
Fussy Baby Clinic
Having experienced the difficulties of parenting unsettled babies, Daniel’s most passionate specialty interest is in infantile colic.
Sleep deprivation and feelings of helplessness can be extremely distressing. Recent research also shows that severely unsettled babies are almost 10 times more likely to have ongoing mental health concerns later in childhood. This research also found that parents of unsettled babies were more than 5 times more likely to report significant psychological distress and have the highest representation in those with maternal and paternal post-natal depression. Unsettled babies and infantile colic are not ‘things you have to put up with’ when raising a newborn, and there are proven strategies that can help both baby and parent.
