Colic is a kind of baba for moms. They unhappy women frighten from the very beginning of pregnancy and up to the birth of the baby. "Here they will begin, then we'll see how you sing," - with a fair amount of malicious expectation they say happy (for the time being) Mom. And she strains, waits - when they will come, malignant colic. And does she know them? The kid can not say that with him, he will have to focus exclusively on intuition. Or is it not? "Dr. Komarovsky explained how to" identify "a malignant disease.Photo: GettyImagesInfant colic are episodes of completeinexplicable crying, which occur in a completely healthy child. According to the doctor, if there is a visible cause of discomfort - the baby fell, bore, it is cold, he is tired, "peregulyal," it's more about this than in colic. Is it logical? Of course. But if the child has eaten normally, he is not cold and not hot, he is not sick, but at the same time he is roaring and there is nothing to calm him - it is a sure sign that it is in a sick tummy.As a rule, he screams in the evening, likeas a rule, at the same time. And then, to make a diagnosis, you need to focus on the number three. As a rule, colic begins when the child is three weeks old and ends around three months. Colic occurs at least three days a week, and this cry lasts about three hours a day. Most likely, you will just have to endure these two and a half months, waiting for the baby's body to adapt to the new conditions, because now he must digest food himself. How to deal with them - Try to speed up the passage of gases: you can do a special massage of the baby's tummy and gymnastics, carry him in a column after feeding, give him dill water, fennel or chamomile decoction to drink. But the effectiveness of drugs in these cases has not been clinically proven. - Adjust your own diet if you are breastfeeding. Some foods cause increased gas formation: cabbage, for example. - Provide the child with emotional and physical comfort. Sometimes colic can be caused by stress. - You need to make sure that the baby latches on to the breast correctly and does not swallow air. - The mother needs to monitor her emotional state - her own stress can affect the baby's condition. - If all this does not help, you need to see a doctor - maybe it is not colic after all, but something more serious.
