Infant colic is a condition in which some infants have sudden, loud cries that can last for several hours or can occur in paroxysms. When crying, the baby’s face becomes red, the mouth is pale, the abdomen is distended and tense, the legs are curled upward, the feet are cold, the hands are clenched and feeding cannot relieve the pain, and finally the crying stops with exhaustion, exhaustion or defecation, this phenomenon is usually called infant colic. This is due to the pain caused by bouts of strong contraction of the smooth muscle of the intestinal wall or intestinal flatulence in infants, is the most common type of acute abdominal pain in children, often occurring at night, mostly in infants within 3 months of age, and most often seen in easily agitated, excited and restless infants. 5 ways to relieve pain 1. When a newborn baby is crying and restless due to an attack of colic, hold the newborn baby straight, or let it lie prone on a hot water bag to relieve the symptoms of pain; 2. Applying volatiles such as peppermint on the stomach can promote intestinal exhaustion, or giving a laxative enema can sometimes be effective; 3. You can use a soother for the child between feedings; 4. If the above methods do not improve, or if the baby has attacks for several nights in a row, it is necessary to see a doctor for a detailed examination. Prevention of colic is very important Prevention, you can improve feeding techniques, after each feeding to pay attention to pat exhaust, and give the newborn a stable emotional environment, these can reduce the frequency of attacks. If all else fails, feeding a newborn formula that is hypoallergenic can sometimes be effective. In addition, other pathological disorders of the gastrointestinal tract, such as gastroesophageal reflux, pyloric obstruction, congenital megacolon, etc., must be ruled out before diagnosing neonatal colic. If it is determined that there is not any Dietary therapy In the infant diet, it is recommended to give the baby mother’s milk. According to research statistics, babies who drink mother’s milk are less likely to have colic because the milk protein may encourage the baby’s intestinal discomfort and worsen the symptoms. When breastfeeding, let your baby suck on one side of the breast first until it is full and relaxes on its own, then switch sides. This way, the baby will not only get the foremilk. Because the lactose content of foremilk is higher, when the enzymes that digest lactose cannot handle this much lactose at one time, it is easier to get flatulence. Some breastfed babies also have colic problems, so pay attention to the mother’s diet for ingredients that may cause allergies, such as milk, chocolate, coffee, and medications. If this is the cause, the baby’s crying should stop within two weeks after the mother stops consuming these foods.
