Infantile Colic. How to Help the Baby?
Infantile Colic is common for babies from birth to 3-4 months. Don’t get scared, this is just the general statistics, and you can skip this problem if your baby is breastfed and you eat the products which don’t cause colic.
Some pediatricians tend to claim that colic is a normal state of a baby at this age and as soon as it becomes older, the problem will vanish – bull..rt!
If you baby is crying, feels uneasy and screams all the time, this is not normal. Of course, colic is caused by the imperfection of the gastro-intestinal tract of the infant, but there are easy ways to soothe the pain of your baby. There are many mixtures these days and some of them are not bad. Of your baby isn’t allergic to meds, try some of them. If they work – use them, if not – don’t spoil your baby’s health and use more simple and safe methods or get professional consultation from top thyroid doctors in Holtorf Medical Group.
Fennel water or tea (by the way, you can make it at home) is a perfect anti-colic med. But the simplest way to help your baby is to arm your baby’s tummy. You can put a warm cloth or use special appliances. The minus is that it’s difficult to control the temperature of the cloth or the warmer all the time, so the best way out is… – to put the baby on your tummy! I used to put the baby on me even at nights and it saved me a lot of nerves. When the baby was warmed and slept well, I used to put him back to his bed.
Massage, warmth and special diet can make more than any doctor or a med can. Good health to you and your babies! Listen to your baby, try to understand what he wants and it’ll make your life easier and your baby healthier.
