KST A to Z
Separation anxiety in a nine-month-old
Beth Bronemann, DC
Lorain, Ohio
A 9-month-old girl cried inconsolably when anyone but mommy held her, even if mommy was standing next to her.
I silently asked the child's body if she had separation anxiety and got a "yes." I checked and adjusted what came up (bilateral anterior sphenoids). I waited a few minutes and took her from her momma's arms.
She looked hesitant but didn't cry. Then I walked out of the room with her and handed her off to my assistant. She didn't cry. When she came to see me this week, she was still comfortable with others holding her.
