Gas and Colic
Colic Baby Tips
All babies have gas, but some babies struggle more with releasing it from their system. Your baby may swallow air when feeding or crying, which can result in an uncomfortably full feeling, gas, or even stomach pains. You may have heard the term colic applied to any baby who cries a lot. Not all crying babies have colic, however - but all colicky babies cry. Though researchers are still unsure of its exact cause, most believe that colic is related to the immaturity of a baby's digestive system. Some also think that a baby's immature nervous system and inability to handle the constant sensory stimulation that surrounds her might cause a breakdown by the end of the day. Whatever the reason, it's among the most exasperating conditions new parents face. Symptoms include:
- A regular period of inconsolable crying, typically late in the day
- Crying bouts the last one to three hours or more
- Age range of three weeks to gour months old
- Baby is healthy and happy at all other times of the day
It's Not Your Fault
Having a colic baby is not your fault
Because colic occurs when a baby is so young, new parents often feel that they are doing something wrong to create the situation. Their vulnerability and lack of experience puts them in the position of questioning their won ability to care for their baby. Because you are a parent who doesn't believe in letting a baby cry to sleep, I know that hearing your baby cry with colic is especially painful for you, as it was for me when colic struck out home.
Although I've handled all of my babies similarly, only one of my four had colic. It was a dreadful experience, but I learned a lot about myself and my baby through the preocess. Please allow my personal experience with colic, as well as my research and discussions with other parents, to put your mind at ease. It's not your fault. Any baby can have colic. the only good thing about colic is that, by the time your baby is three to four months old, it will magically disappear and become just a blip in your memory.
