The digestive system of a child - its weakest position since the with the advent of the baby into the world it begins to flourish and grow. Enzymes in the newborn has not yet fully formed, the wall of the intestine is not enough rhythmically reduced and therefore the promotion of food is on it hard. All this gives the prerequisites for the occurrence of pain in a small tummy.
But not only the physical act of eating triggers colic in infants. These children are prone to developing food allergies, as well as those who are under the supervision of a neurologist about the increased neuro-reflex excitability. In restless infants even weather changes can cause a riot in the stomach.
Colic is easy to recognize because they have bright signs: the child is short and shrill screams, running out legs to the tummy, starts knocking them, refuses to eat, dramatically throws breast or bottle. To prevent the occurrence of colic, it is necessary to adhere to a particular regime and regulations.If the mother is breastfeeding, she should strictly adhere to the diet for lactating women. This does not mean that we should strictly limit yourself to eating just be excluded from the diet those foods that most often cause colic in infants. These include, above all, fresh vegetables and fruit: the most "explosive" are cabbage, onions, garlic, beans, grapes. From the menu, nursing mothers must be potatoes, carrots, boiled rabbit, turkey, chicken. Try to eat dried bread, preferably white. Try to drink more loosely green tea and water, only without the gas.
In addition to the diet my mother, there are also basic rules of breast-feeding to help reduce the manifestation of colic. This primarily concerns the feeding posture: Keep the baby well captured the nipple, because it will reduce the penetration of his intestines air try to change the slope of the Child on the chest, the baby throws back his head no, no bends, keep the crumb after feeding a column to he could otrygnut air.
If your child is bottle-fed, try to pick up the mixture, designed for children with sensitive stomachs and intestines. Also check that the hole in the nipple on the bottle was not too broad, so that during feeding nipple was filled with food, rather than air.
Avoid colic in full, unfortunately, does not succeed, but there are some simple ways to help relieve the state of the baby and soon to say goodbye to this nuisance. The most simple and accessible at any moment - to do tummy massage in a clockwise direction and put on his warm pelenochku. Well this is the case have special teas, dill vodichku or decoction of chamomile (1 teaspoon in a glass of boiled water, to give 1-2 teaspoons 3-4 times a day) to help reduce flatulence. If you do not want to give crumbs nothing but breast milk, you can drink yourself such compositions, and their healing properties get your child through your milk.
Always try to lay out before feeding the baby on his tummy, and after meals to keep him upright for as long as it does not otrygnet air. Sometimes, during feeding the child begins to cry. In this case it is necessary to take a break and did not feed him forcibly.Hold your baby a column, stroke his tummy, when the discomfort will weaken, then you can continue feeding. By the aid of drugs, removing bouts of colic, be resorted to only after consulting with your pediatrician. If you notice that your child is clearly strained stomach, put the crumb on the back, and 3-4 times podozhmite his legs to the tummy, to come out gases.
