How to relieve colic in babies who are just one month old?

Several characteristics of colic:

Time of occurrence: Most colic occurs in the evening, because this is the time when the gastrointestinal burden is greatest every day. Of course it also happens in the middle of the night. My family's colic occurs in the early morning hours when the moon is not full.

Duration: Baby colic is not an ordinary pain, so it may last as long as 1-2 hours. When my daughter is not full moon, she sometimes suffers from colic in the middle of the night and will cry for nearly 2 hours.

Cause of occurrence: Colic is a common disease in infants, especially those aged 0-4 months. Colic occurs mainly because the baby's intestines and stomach are not fully developed, so they are particularly prone to flatulence, which can lead to colic over time.

Symptoms: The baby will cry loudly, cannot be relieved by drinking milk or is unwilling to drink milk, keeps crying, and cannot be comforted when picked up.

Occurrence stage: 0-4 months is more common, and babies over 4 months old may occasionally have it. Some babies whose gastrointestinal development is not very good may develop colic even when they are 1 or 2 years old. And when colic occurs, because the baby will cry incessantly, parents often don't know what's wrong with the baby.

Frequency of occurrence: Colic is likely to occur at the same time every day for 2-3 consecutive days. But generally it should not exceed 3 days a week. If it exceeds 3 days, you need to go to the hospital to check if there are other problems.

Correct attitude: Flatulence itself is not an illness, so don’t worry too much, and it cannot be completely cured. It will naturally become less common when your baby gets older. The main thing parents can do is relieve the baby's pain.

Because colic is directly related to flatulence. Therefore, parents must learn a set of exhaust exercises and do them for their babies once or twice a day, which will help avoid colic symptoms. Or it can relieve the baby's pain when the baby has colic.

Airplane holding is a common method to relieve colic. Airplane holding means that parents put their hands under the baby’s belly and let the baby lie on their arms.

While you are being held on the plane, you can massage the baby's back by lifting the flesh on the baby's back with both hands and lifting it up. Work from waist to upper back. This method is very effective. Sometimes after I do it for a short while, the gas will pass out.

However, if your baby has the most severe colic, he may not like to lie flat on his face to be massaged. At this time, you can hold the baby upright and sit on the adult's lap, and massage the baby's abdomen with the other hand.

The acupuncture points on the baby's palms directly affect the baby's stomach and intestines. Massaging the baby's palms in circles can effectively relieve the problem of flatulence.
