In brief
Dr Dominique Boudet, Osteopath D.O. in Dubai, offers gentle sessions that may help ease the tension linked to baby colic. Working softly on the tummy and body, he supports comfort and calmer digestion. Osteopathy accompanies your baby alongside, never instead of, the care of your pediatrician.
Baby colicColic often shows as long crying spells, usually late in the day, with a tense little tummy, clenched fists and knees drawn up. Feeds may be interrupted by discomfort, and settling can feel almost impossible for a while.
It is exhausting for parents, yet very common in the first months. Gentle osteopathy looks at how your baby holds tension and how comfortably the body moves.
Dr Boudet uses very soft, cranial and visceral techniques. There is nothing forceful: light contact on the abdomen, back and head to encourage ease and relaxation. Your baby stays dressed or lightly covered, and you remain close throughout.
These sessions suit unsettled newborns and infants whose crying and tummy tension are affecting feeding, sleep and family calm. If symptoms are intense, unusual or come with fever, poor weight gain or vomiting, a medical opinion comes first, and osteopathic care then takes its place alongside it.
Yes, the techniques are extremely gentle and adapted to newborns. Dr Boudet uses only light, soft contact, with no forceful movements, and speaks with your pediatrician whenever the situation calls for it.
Babies can be seen in the very first weeks of life. The younger the baby, the gentler the touch. If you are unsure, a quick word at booking will help confirm timing with you.
Every baby is different. Some parents notice a calmer tummy after one or two gentle sessions, while others prefer a short follow up. Dr Boudet will suggest what feels reasonable for your child.
You undress your baby lightly and stay close. Dr Boudet observes, then applies soft cranial and visceral contact for comfort. It often feels soothing, and many babies relax or fall asleep during the session.
