Your baby keeps food down. Feedings don’t end in screaming anymore. You’re not changing outfits three times before noon because of spit-up.
Sleep happens—for both of you. Your baby isn’t arching their back in pain or refusing to lie flat. The constant worry that something’s seriously wrong starts to fade.
You stop second-guessing every feeding decision. The guilt lifts. Your confidence as a parent comes back because you can finally see your baby comfortable and thriving instead of struggling through every meal.
Dr. Paul Roses has been practicing in Bayonne since 1981. That’s over three decades of helping families in Bayfront, NJ find relief without resorting to medications that often don’t work for infants anyway.
This isn’t a side service. Treating babies with reflux, colic, and feeding issues is a core part of what we do here. Parents come because pediatricians and lactation consultants refer them when traditional approaches aren’t cutting it.
Our focus is simple: find what’s causing your baby’s nervous system to misfire, address it with gentle adjustments, and give their body the chance to function the way it should.
First, you’ll talk through what’s happening—when the baby spitting up after every feeding in Bayfront started, what you’ve already tried, and what symptoms you’re seeing. Dr. Roses will assess your baby’s spine and cranial alignment to identify where nerve interference might be affecting digestion and the vagus nerve.
The adjustment itself uses fingertip pressure—about the same amount you’d use to check if a peach is ripe. Most babies relax or even fall asleep during treatment. There’s no twisting, popping, or anything that looks like an adult adjustment.
You’ll likely see changes quickly. Many parents notice less spitting up and easier feedings after the first visit. Most babies show significant improvement within four sessions, with full resolution typically happening within three months of consistent care.

This is neurologically-focused chiropractic care combined with craniopathy. That means addressing both spinal misalignments and cranial bone positioning that can affect swallowing, breathing, and how your baby’s esophagus functions.
You’re getting an approach that treats painful gas in newborns in Bayfront by addressing the root cause—not just managing symptoms with medication that studies show works no better than placebo in infants. The care looks at why your baby’s digestive system isn’t working right, not just what’s happening on the surface.
In Bayfront, NJ, where 45% of parents report sleep disturbance in their baby’s first month and many feel dismissed by doctors saying “they’ll grow out of it,” we offer an alternative. You get someone who takes the problem seriously and has a track record of helping babies actually improve—not just wait it out.
Your baby arches their back frequently, especially during or after feeding. They have trouble lying flat and seem more comfortable when held upright or at an angle. You might notice they turn their head more easily to one side than the other.
Feeding is a struggle—they latch poorly, pull off the breast or bottle repeatedly, or seem to gag and choke even when milk flow isn’t fast. They’re fussy and irritable most of the time, not just when they’re hungry or tired.
Sleep is nearly impossible unless they’re being held, and even then it’s restless. They startle easily and have a hard time calming down once upset. These signs point to nerve interference affecting how their digestive system and vagus nerve are functioning—exactly what chiropractic care addresses.
Most parents notice some change after the first visit—less spitting up, easier feeding, or better sleep. That doesn’t mean the problem is solved, but it’s a sign you’re on the right track.
Significant improvement typically happens within four visits. By then, you should see your baby keeping more food down, experiencing less painful gas, and showing fewer signs of discomfort during and after meals.
Full resolution usually takes about three months of consistent care. Every baby is different—some improve faster, others need more time. The key is addressing the underlying nervous system issue, not just chasing symptoms. Dr. Roses will give you a clearer timeline after the initial assessment based on what he finds.
Yes. A study tracking 697 pediatric patients who received over 5,200 chiropractic treatments found zero serious adverse effects and only seven minor ones—less than 0.12% reaction rate.
The adjustment technique we use on infants is nothing like what you’d see with adults. There’s no cracking or forceful manipulation. The pressure used is gentle—about what you’d use to test fruit ripeness. Most babies relax or sleep through it.
Pediatricians and IBCLCs in the Bayfront area refer babies here because they trust our approach and have seen results. The risk profile is significantly lower than long-term use of acid suppression medications, which studies show can have serious side effects and often don’t even work for the type of reflux most infants experience.
Most infant reflux is weakly acidic or non-acidic. Traditional GERD medications work by suppressing stomach acid—which means they’re ineffective for the type of reflux your baby likely has.
Studies show these medications perform no better than placebo in infants. Yet they come with real risks: increased risk of respiratory infections, fractures later in life, and potential gut microbiome disruption during a critical development window.
The medication isn’t addressing why your baby’s lower esophageal sphincter isn’t closing properly or why their digestive system is malfunctioning. Chiropractic care targets the nerve interference that controls those functions. When you remove the interference, the body can regulate digestion the way it’s supposed to—without drugs.
Your baby will lie on a specialized table or in your arms while Dr. Roses uses light fingertip pressure on specific points along the spine and skull. The pressure is so gentle that if you tried it on your own arm, you’d barely feel it.
There’s no popping, twisting, or anything that resembles an adult adjustment. The goal is to release tension in the cranial bones and remove nerve interference—not to force anything into place. The whole process takes just a few minutes.
Most babies don’t cry during adjustments. Many actually calm down or fall asleep because the release of tension feels good. Some babies are fussy before the adjustment because they’re uncomfortable, but they typically settle quickly once treatment starts. You’ll be right there the entire time.
Yes. Colic, reflux, and painful gas often stem from the same root issue—nervous system dysfunction affecting digestion. When nerve signals aren’t communicating properly between your baby’s brain and gut, you see multiple symptoms.
Chiropractic care addresses that underlying nerve interference. As the nervous system starts functioning better, you typically see improvement across all symptoms—not just the reflux. Babies often have easier bowel movements, less gas pain, reduced crying, and better overall temperament.
Research shows 9 out of 10 infants experience significant improvement with chiropractic care, and over 90% of parents report positive changes in their baby’s behavior. That’s because you’re treating the cause, not just individual symptoms. When the nervous system works right, a lot of problems resolve on their own.
