There is no doubt about it - this is a must read. Baby Colic must be already studied by the parents BEFORE it can ever happen in your Baby's life. You can't stand there holding your Baby in one hand and hold a 48 page EBOOK in the other! You must already know the answers before the questions even come up! Certain Factors That Can Worsen The Situation The child should never be overfed. You will need to know the difference between hunger and colic before he is fed again. There are foods high in sugar or juice that has not been diluted that can produce gas and worsen the problem. There may be an allergy in the intestines, so a mother will need to discover what her child is allergic to. It could also be something that the mother has eaten that reaches the baby through milk while breast feeding. Emotions like anger, stress and fear should be eliminated as this will reflect on the baby and cause him pain. The main thing is to keep calm and find out as much as you can about colic. There could be other factors that make a baby cry – you will need to weed them out one by one before you conclude that it is colic. As the cause is unknown, there is no real cure, but the only way to handle colic is to be as calm as possible, keep the child comfortable, soothe him with music if necessary and wrap him up warmly so that he feels a sense of warmth and comfort and this will help with his pain. Distinguishing The Signs Of Colic Colic is a common condition in many newborn babies wherein the babies cry for long periods of time (3-5 hours without stopping, more than 3 times a week for over a month) and frequently; while it can be frustrating for parents of newborns to deal with this type of behavior, it is equally exhausting for the baby itself. First and foremost parents and caregivers of newborn babies that cry need to distinguish the reasons for the baby crying and establishing whether it is crying due to colic pain, which can be simple or severe. Secondly, they need to understand that colic is common and is not a disorder – although there is no absolute cure for colic, there are various techniques that have proven effective in calming crying infants and giving parents of newborns the rest they need. An infant may cry due to hunger, sleeplessness or clothes being too tight even; first, find out why the child is crying . Check for signs of irritability and redness to the cheeks due to excessive crying for more than 3 hours daily with the legs folding up to the abdomen, since colic is stomach pain and discomfort essentially and these are common signs of colic episodes. Difficulty passing stools. Some babies with severe colic may thrash about as muscles spasms occur or there may be a distention in the intestines. If occurring within 2-3 weeks of the child's birth, the severe abdominal pain accompanied by excessive crying is known as colic; it occurs recurrently in spasms and stomach pain is frequent with the baby becoming hypertonic and showing alternating body postures. Theses may involve contractions, sudden stretching of limbs or even stiffening in a spastic posture while turning red due to the crying and parents need to be alert about these signs of colic. At times, signs that are indications of colic, if persistent, may be symptoms of a more serious digestive tract problem, so observant parents can convey these signs to the doctor for expert advice if all home remedies fail. Scientific research has given us many possible theories as to why colic occurs: from an immature digestive system that an infant has that is not used to processing food outside mother's womb to environmental factors like lactose intolerance to powder or cow's milk or nursing mother consuming allergen/chemical containing food products not suited to baby's sensitive digestive tract to even insufficient burping or gas build-up due to eating cruciferous foods or caffeine products by mother. However, it is certain that colic is uncomfortable for both child and caregivers and therefore adequate steps to rule out these sources of colic in the infants to bring down the statistics of 1 in every 10 infants suffering it; burp babies sufficiently during and after meals, rock or walk with the baby to soothe it, play soothing music to calm the baby or give it a pacifier. Even a warm castor oil massage on the tummy or rubbing the baby's tummy and back to stimulate bowel movement and reduce bloating will give comfort to the colicky baby. This is because all these steps help baby to pass gas and stool, which is the best way to give relief from stomach pain due to colic.
