Often the causes of abdominal pain in a newly born child are increased gas production or intestinal colic. Such problems are the result of a number of mistakes made when feeding a baby. Such mistakes include improper feeding, mixed feeding, or early introduction of complementary foods.
It is necessary
- - warm diaper;
- - Dill seeds;
- - boiling water;
- - herb sage, string, peppermint or oregano.
Instructions
Step 1
Spread a warm diaper on a flat surface, then place the baby on his stomach for 15-20 minutes. If the baby is naughty and refuses to lie outside of mother's hands, take him, placing him face down on the lap of an adult. If the child continues to cry, do not force him to lie, it is better to take the baby in your arms and, covering it with a warm diaper, wear it in your arms. Be sure to pat your baby on the back, and over time he will calm down.
Step 2
Get a preventive massage. To do this, lay the baby on the back. With the palm of your hand, gently pressing, so as not to hurt the newborn, make slow circular movements with your hand in a clockwise direction. The exercise can be done until the child is completely calm. Take the baby's legs with both hands. Squeeze your legs from a straightened state with your knees to your tummy. The exercise is done 10-15 times and promotes the release of accumulated gases. This mini-charge can be performed as needed while the baby is awake or when changing the diaper.
Step 3
Before going to bed, give your baby a bath. Add infusion of oregano, peppermint, chamomile or sage to warm water. Herbs have a calming effect and will help relieve pain spasms.
Step 4
Continue to lay the newborn on the tummy before each feed. After feeding, be sure to take the baby in your arms and walk around the apartment with him for 5-10 minutes. Being in an upright, upright position, the baby will independently release the air that has entered the stomach during feeding.
Step 5
In order to prevent newborns from swallowing air during latching to the breast, be sure to monitor the correct position of the baby. When sucking, the baby completely captures the areola of the nipple with his lips, and the position of the nose provides him with free breathing.
Step 6
Develop a feeding routine for your baby. The interval between feedings cannot be less than 2-3 hours. Otherwise, the food does not have time to be absorbed in the baby's not fully formed stomach.
Step 7
If you experience repeated signs of intestinal colic, prepare dill water. To do this, pour boiling water over the dill seeds in the proportion: one glass of boiling water per teaspoon of seeds. Leave the resulting infusion to cool. Give your child dill water instead of drinking. Such an easy-to-prepare infusion will help the baby cope with gas formation and flatulence, as well as prevent their recurrence.
