Abstract
Key-words: Osteopathic treatment after birth – flatulence - colics – Ikterus neonatorum– phases of disturbance – crying phases – sleeping – natural birth – Geburtshaus Nußdorf.

A very homogeneous group of 16 babies delivered at the Geburtshaus Nußdorf , checked by me within 24 hours after birth and if necessary being treated osteopathically and after 3 months checking them again and compaire with 16 three-months-old babies who also were delivered at the Geburtshaus without any complication, in relation of their crying-, sleeping- and digestive behavior with the help of a detailed questionaire.

There were no statistical differences between the period of breastfeeding, the numbers of faeces, and how often they wake up during the night..

Luckily there are statistic differences of the numbers of breastfeeding per day (7,56x vs. 6,06x), of the phases of disturbance (18% vs. 75%), crying phases (12% vs. 68%), flatulence (18% vs. 68%), colics (6% vs. 68%) and also jaundice (13% vs. 81%).

Parents of the two groups were prepared for birth in details and a were ac companied by "their" midwives and hence had a good start for their „beginning of the life“.
Comparing the first group to a group of children born in a normal hospital would have been even more significant.
