Many mothers believe that breast milk is the most beneficial to the development of the baby’s intestinal tract, and that breastfed babies are less likely to have colic. However, breastfeeding in an incorrect way can also cause colic in babies. How to avoid this situation? And how should I relieve my baby’s colic symptoms? A, breast milk can also make baby colic? It usually starts 3 weeks after the baby is born and gradually improves after 3-4 months. Once the onset of colic, characterized by recurring abdominal pain and crying, the symptoms will be better during the day, but in the evening or at night, there will be a sudden bawling at irregular intervals, and will be continuous crying for three or four hours, no matter what efforts are made, it is difficult to make him quiet down. And by breastfeeding colic is mainly caused by improper feeding methods. 1, frequently change the two sides of the breast feeding mother in breastfeeding, the composition of breast milk will continue to change. The baby’s sucking makes the milk secretion in the breast gradually increase fat. If the baby has not yet sucked all the milk on one side, the mother will switch to the other side of the milk, the baby will be able to suck the fat is lower, the calorie intake is not enough, the baby will soon feel hungry, and the mother will need to feed more meals. Too much milk, on the other hand, can cause the baby to vomit. The milk that contains too little fat will have too much sugar, and the baby’s stomach cannot digest these sudden sugars at once, he feels uncomfortable, crying, burping, vomiting bubbles, grumpy, excreting green water and other colic symptoms. 2, breastfeeding site is not suitable for public breastfeeding inconvenient, surrounded by some nasty eyes. Forced by the environment, the mother can only feed a few minutes of milk to cope with a hungry baby. Please note: Babies can usually spend two hours at the breast. If circumstances permit, the mother should try to feed until the baby stops sucking. However, if it is inconvenient, the mother should massage the breast after feeding the emergency milk to keep the milk having enough fat so that when feeding the next meal (with the same side of the milk), the baby can suck the high-fat milk. 3. Reactions to inappropriate breastfeeding When babies inhale too much milk in a short period of time, they will feel uncomfortable and impatient. And these reactions are often mistaken for normal infant colic. Usually the infant will spill and after a few minutes, the infant will start coughing, choking, struggling and refusing to take the milk. The mother’s milk will flow out and the baby will return to the nipple for more milk, so the baby will suck more milk that makes him uncomfortable. An unsteady flow of milk, too fast or too slow, can add to the baby’s irritation. Some babies even refuse to breastfeed because of this. The first thing you need to do is to make sure that you have a good idea of what you are doing. 1. Feeding time Feeding should be done before the baby feels hungry. Do not feed water to the infant first in order to delay the feeding time. A breastfed baby does not need water, even in very hot weather. If the baby is too hungry, he or she will be very unkind to the breast and thus cause other adverse reactions. When the baby shows any sign of hunger, the mother should breastfeed immediately. Try to create a stable environment for the baby to eat milk, try to avoid loud noises and excessive light when breastfeeding. 2. Feeding position Lying on the bed to nurse is a better way. When the mother lies on her back, the flow of milk will be slower so that the baby can slowly eat the milk until he gets enough nutrition. 3. Feeding volume Before feeding, it is best to express at least 30ml of breast milk to ensure that the baby can late the best quality breast milk. Next, control the amount of milk. Too fast or too slow milk flow can cause discomfort and impatience to the infant. If you find that your baby is too slow due to the flow of milk, you can help him to express it by hand. 4. Make sure you absorb enough fat Try to breastfeed with one breast as much as possible until you have fed your baby. Generally speaking, each breast can be fed two or three times in a row for the baby to absorb enough fat. If the mother feels that the other side of the breast that is not being breastfed is too high, she can squeeze it out by hand. 5. Let your baby practice sucking If your baby cannot hold the nipple steady or does not know how to hold the nipple, he will not suck the right amount of milk and many of the above problems will occur. There are two kinds of mistakes when it comes to this problem. One is for the mother to squeeze out the milk, pour it into a bottle and feed it to the baby; the other is to give the baby an artificial pacifier to chew on when the baby is not eating milk, so that the baby can practice eating milk more often. 6, pay attention to the mother’s diet Generally speaking, the milk protein absorbed by the mother, is beneficial to the baby. However, if the mother is allergic to the milk protein and has an immune reaction, the baby may have a similar reaction, such as eczema and diarrhea. When colic strikes, the baby’s prolonged crying not only makes the mother irritable, but may also cause respiratory, gastrointestinal and other functional diseases in the baby. Therefore, in addition to the usual preventive work, it is also necessary to soothe the baby suffering from colic “torture”. 1, abdominal massage method put your child’s forearms on the side of the abdomen, while the baby’s head with your palms up, gently press the baby’s forearms to the abdomen. Pour warm massage oil in your hands and rub your baby’s abdomen with your flat fingers in a circular motion, massage from left to right drawing a “U” shape to help your baby do a comfortable massage. 2, feeding more slowly and frequently Whether breastfeeding or formula, feeding your baby too much, too fast, will increase too much lactose breakdown intestinal gas, the baby’s little tummy easily can not stand. Therefore, this time the mother has to feed the baby half of the usual food, need more than twice the usual time to be good. 3. Bend your baby’s body When colic hits, lay your baby face up on your lap with their legs pointing towards you and rest their head on your knee. Gently massage their legs, similar to a cycling exercise, while making some striking facial expressions to distract them from the memory of the pain. 4. Warm water on the tummy Roll up a bottle of warm water (not hot) in a cloth diaper and turn it back and forth under the baby’s tummy. To further relax the baby’s tense tummy, you can place it on the edge of the baby’s stomach and wiggle it around while his legs are placed on a cushion to rub her back.
