      Understanding And Treating Baby Colic - Jeannine Hill

      Colic

      Distinguishing The Signs Of Colic

      Colic is a common condition in many newborn babies wherein the babies cry for long periods of

      time (3-5 hours without stopping, more than 3 times a week for over a month) and frequently;

      while it can be frustrating for parents of newborns to deal with this type of behavior, it is equally exhausting for the baby itself.

      First and foremost parents and caregivers of newborn babies that cry need to distinguish the

      reasons for the baby crying and establishing whether it is crying due to colic pain, which can be simple or severe. Secondly, they need to understand that colic is common and is not a disorder

      – although there is no absolute cure for colic, there are various techniques that have proven

      effective in calming crying infants and giving parents of newborns the rest they need.

      An infant may cry due to hunger, sleeplessness or clothes being too tight even; first, find out why the child is crying.

      ·  Some babies with severe colic may thrash about as muscles spasms occur or there may

      be a distention in the intestines.

      ·  If occurring within 2-3 weeks of the child's birth, the severe abdominal pain accompanied

      by excessive crying is known as colic; it occurs recurrently in spasms and stomach pain

      is frequent with the baby becoming hypertonic and showing alternating body postures.

      Theses may involve contractions, sudden stretching of limbs or even stiffening in a

      spastic posture while turning red due to the crying and parents need to be alert about

      these signs of colic.

      ·  At times, signs that are indications of colic, if persistent, may be symptoms of a
