Infants often have gastrointestinal colic caused by flatulence. They arise due to the anatomical features of the structure of the internal organs of the child. Various means of both traditional and traditional medicine can help a baby cope with such pains.
It is necessary
- - warm diaper;
- - boiled water;
- - fennel tea;
- - dill tea;
- - medications;
- - consultation with a pediatrician;
- - tummy massage.
Instructions
Step 1
Keep your baby warm: place him on a warm diaper heated by an iron or on your belly. Heat helps relieve gastrointestinal cramps. Tell him something affectionately. The familiar kind mother's voice is capable of acting no less effectively than various medications.
Step 2
Before each feeding, lay the baby on the tummy for 10-15 minutes - this helps to stimulate intestinal motility and eliminate pain. If you are breastfeeding, exclude from the diet foods that provoke increased gas production in the intestines - melons, cucumbers, legumes, sauerkraut, grapes, etc.
Step 3
Pay attention to the formula if you are feeding it to your baby. Perhaps it is she who is the cause of such symptoms. After consultation with the pediatrician, replace it with another one.
Step 4
If the baby in the crib has colic, place your hand on the lower part of his tummy, pressing it tightly and gently against the bed: the warmth and pressure of the hand can help relieve pain.
Step 5
Try to give the child some boiled water or attach it to the breast, sometimes with such measures spasms are reflexively relieved.
Step 6
Refer to traditional medicine recipes to help combat this problem. Give your baby special teas with herbs that reduce the manifestations of flatulence (they include dill, fennel). Such funds are indicated for children starting from one month, in cycles - 5-7 days with interruptions.
Step 7
If the above steps do not work, contact your pediatrician. The doctor will prescribe the baby a drug designed to combat flatulence. They are specially designed for babies and have practically no contraindications. The principle of their action is as follows: large gas bubbles are crushed into smaller ones, the effect on the intestinal walls becomes less intense, and pain is reduced.
