Colic In Babies
Author : Kelan Grady
Your second option could be visiting your local chiropractor for baby massage or chiropractic treatments. This was one of the alternatives me and my wife chose when our little girl had colic. But, this was very expensive as we had to go there for at least 3 to 4 treatments, to expect any results.
It's an easy answer to that question, the common definition is, when your baby is crying persistently for three and more hours in one day, you can be quite sure this is colic. Other symptoms could be abdominal tensions or cramps, baby pulling the legs up towards the stomach and a glaring red color in baby's face during seizures.
Gripe water is often found in the diaper bag when there is colic in baby. Gripe water is something that doctors recommend to help temper the effects of colic. You can purchase it at any local drugstore or in most grocery stores. When it was first introduced this concoction contained alcohol and many brands sold today still do. Check the label before buying a bottle to ensure the one you use doesn't. Follow the directions for dosage on the label. Although it doesn't work for every infant, most parents of a colic baby do give it a try.
One of the best methods for treating colic for babies is movement. When a baby is in motion it seems as though the gas that is causing the problem isn't as uncomfortable. There are several ways to use motion to help colic in newborn babies, including the use of a baby swing. Once you use one of these you'll wonder how you lived without it. They are completely safe and allow the baby to move softly and gently. Many babies fall right to sleep when sitting in their swings. It also gives mom and dad a few minutes of peace.
Although there is nothing to be worried about as it is a normal condition and not a disease, parents panic because of non-stop crying. Since the cause is not known, there is really no cure. All parents can do is make their child as comfortable as possible, give him the attention he requires and soothe him. Wrapping him up warmly can help, as also soothing music. Feeding them more than is necessary is not a good idea as it will worsen the problem.
Milk allergies, on the other hand, have nothing to do with the ability to digest milk sugar. Instead, the body has an allergic reaction to the protein in milk, which may be slow onset, or immediate onset, depending upon the severity of the allergy. Babies with milk allergies often have bloody stools, severe abdominal pain, and increased irritability. Other symptoms include hives, rashes, wheezing, vomiting, and diarrhea. These symptoms can mimic many other conditions, and can prove difficult to diagnose in babies. Colic in babies with milk allergies can often be alleviated once the allergy is addressed and milk products are avoided.
The main symptom of colic is that a baby will cry vigorously for extended periods of time, despite efforts to calm and soothe them. If the baby cries for more than three hours at a time, more than three days a week, it is likely that they may be suffering from colic. Another sign is if the crying occurs around the same time each day, especially after mealtimes.
