Colic Is Normal Among Babies

By Eric Dashal

After waiting for 9 months in their mom's womb, the infant is now ready to meet the world. It is here were it becomes a tough work for both of the parents. Getting that much necessary rest would be close to unthinkable as the baby will cry for more than three hours a day. The endless crying of a newborn infant is usually referred to by Pediatricians as colic. There is no textbook answer as to why this happens, although there are a number of hypotheses which may explain it. Two causes have been put forward for the gastrointestinal pain,which are the infant drinking the milk in a much speedier pace and the other as baby ingesting air while reastfeeding. It's even feasible that the foods that the mother eats are the cause, but some say that the infant's newborn immune system isn't able to adjust outside of the mothers womb yet.

No matter of the cause, physicians believe that colic is common among newborns, so there is really nothing to worry about, as it will finally go away in a few months in any case. Nurturing and looking after for the child is the foremost step that the parents should take, and if it such even would not happen, some believe that it would make it more difficult in the period of adjustment. Even it doesn't always work, there is single solution to take care of a colic baby. Most of the parents doing this searching work for which one is working properly for their child.

If the newborn is in the crib, attempt picking him up, holding or rocking him, or even singing to him to help him fall asleep. Burping a baby after breastfeeding can help keep a baby from waking up, but a full-fed baby can also benefit from a ride in a carriage or car. The baby's predisposition to noise can make it awaken again and cry but this can be prevented by not making too many sounds although playing a CD of classical music can help make the baby rest.

A warm bath would be a big relief for the infant. But you should be particular to use water at the correct temperature as baby's skin will not tolerate high temperatures. It is never too late to give the newborn baby a pacifier as this will make the infant think that it is still sucking onto the mom's breast when it is feeding time. Simethicon drops have been proved to stop the infant's cry, since colic is generally connected with abdominal gas pains.

The last point is that the mother should alter her diet because the food may be developing wind which is passed on to the baby in milk. Colic is not a serious thing and is not thought to be a illness or a disorder, it is a phase the baby will grow out of relatively quickly. Couples who choose to have children face this challenge as well as many others.
