Baby Colic: Causes and Remedies for Bellyache
Infant colic is an extraneous neonatal problem. widespread e annoying for the child, so much so that it is one of the most feared parents.
Mothers and fathers of children suffering from this often end up feeling tired, frustrated e powerless in front of their baby who has a bellyache and is crying.
In this article and the video below I explain the causes of colic of the newborn child but especially the rimand how to get rid of stomach ache.
Infant colic: what it is and its causes
In medical terms, infant colic is defined as a behavioural syndrome characterised by crying and intestinal pain during whose attacks the child has a bellyache and emits gas or faeces.
Hence the definition of ''gaseous colic of the newborn child' (from the term 'colon', part of the intestine).
But why do newborn babies get colicky?
What are the causes and especially what are the remedies e how to make a newborn baby's tummy ache go away?
Infant gas colic is caused by an inflammatory bowel picture.
That is why the baby has a bellyache and cries.
Gaseous colic are NOT caused by intestinal immaturity (can an immature intestine give pain?!).
A recent 2018 scientific study proves this beyond doubt (Tu Mai et al., 'Infantile Colic, New Insights into an Old Problem', published in the magazine Gastroenterology Clinics of North America)
Baby colic: remedies for tummy ache
Only in the light of this new discovery and the true causes of infant colic, we can understand remedies and understand how to really make bellyaches go away to the newborn child.
Colic is due to a inflammatory bowel picture caused by many factors which manifests itself in severe irritability and gastro-intestinal disturbances in the child.
Remedies for baby colic start with the knowledge of all the factors that cause them.
Here are the causes, remedies and how to really make bellyaches go away to the newborn child:
1. if the child is breastfed, it is essential to investigate and improve maternal nutrition (essential)
2. if the baby is artificially breastfed, it is necessary to assess how the milk is delivered (position), the type of bottle, the teat and much more...
3. one must always assess the mobility of the thoracic diaphragm (located just above the stomach) and the pelvic area, which play an important role in the gastric emptying and intestinal peristalsisVery often there are severe limitations in children caused by intrauterine malpositions or difficult births;
4. the presence of objective gastric and intestinal smooth muscle tension that create pain for the child and slow down the transit; to notice this, one only has to palpate the child's abdomen at the stomach and assess the visceral and ligamentous tensions.
I myself always teach parents in the studio theOsteo-Massage at belly.
5. the presence of neck and back contractures that might annoy the child and make him irritable.
6. many other parameters that you will find in the video course ''Treatment and prevention of gaseous colic and gastro-oesophageal reflux''.
Drops for baby colic
In the first months of life the neonatal colic affect thousands of children.
Because of the false information about colic and how to make tummy ache (and air) go away, most parents do not know how to treat it effectively, and uses (in most cases, to no avail) infant colic drops (including Reuflor, Colimil, Colikind, Mylicon, etc.)
In this article I will explain what are the drops for baby colic and because the food supplements (based on milk enzymes, camomile, fennel, simethicone, etc.) are insufficient to resolve neonatal gaseous colic.
