Intestinal gripes are an attack of an acute pain (spasm) in the child's intestines.

  • the complicated otkhozhdeniye of gases owing to what the child has a blown-up or "hard" stomach;
  • reddening of integuments on a face;
  • the child tightens legs to a stomach or is on the contrary curved.

The reasons for appearance of gripes exists much:

  • immaturity of digestive system;
  • dysbacteriosis;
  • violation of the technology of sucking of a breast/small bottle;
  • non-compliance with a diet by the nursing mother or incorrectly picked up dairy mix;
  • laktazny insufficiency;
  • the hypoxia transferred the kid in the course of childbirth or during pre-natal development.

Important!  According to many honored pediatricians, gripes are not pathology and are not capable to do much harm to some extent to the kid.

A huge number of newborns has intestinal gripes. To prevent their emergence — an impossible task, but to facilitate tortures of the child during adaptation to environmental conditions quite really.

We get rid of gases

To help the kid to get rid of the gases which accumulated in intestines, we do massage.

"Back and forth"

1.     To put the child on a back and to clasp with the hands legs of the kid in shins.

2.     We make advance to a tummy, kind of slightly pressuring him.

3.     We detain legs of the baby in such situation for 5 seconds, and then we straighten.

4.     To repeat 10 times."Watch"

1.     The child also lies on a back.

2.     Make the easy pressing movements clockwise around a navel a thumb of the right/left hand.

3.     As soon as you "drew" a circle, put the left palm on the newborn's tummy.

4.     Your thumb will appear on the left half of his stomach — here it is also necessary to press slightly on a tummy and to make a semicircle.

5.     To repeat these actions of 5-7 times.

Important! It is necessary to carry out massage when the child is quiet. During a spasm you can bring to the kid a bigger discomfort and pain.

Simple exercise — the child's vykladyvaniye on a tummy will help to exempt intestines from gases. It is necessary to do it before each feeding at least for 2–3 minutes. If the child does not want to lie on any surface (a bed, a changing table, a sofa and so forth), then it is possible to lay him a tummy on the stomach, so he will be much quieter.

We adjust feeding

During feeding, whether it be a small bottle or a breast, it is extremely important to watch that the child did not swallow air together with milk. If it occurs, means technology of feeding is broken — the child takes only a nipple, and has to take also an areola.

At the correct capture of a nipple:

  • sponges of the child are widely developed;
  • the nipple together with an areola is in a mouth;
  • there are no foreign sounds — only drinks are heard.

"Column"

Each mom has to take this procedure for the rule. Even if technology of feeding is observed, newborns after all can swallow air together with food. For this reason, after a meal of the kid it is necessary to transfer to a vertical state in order that he otrygnut the air which collected in intestines.

Important! Similar manipulation will allow not only to release excess air, but also will prevent raising of food back in a mouth and also in a nasopharynx that is fraught with flooding.

 

We use medicines

If all above-mentioned ways of disposal of kolik do not help, then it is possible to eat sense to resort to traditional or traditional medicine. Well proved the following medicines:

  • Plantex;
  • Sab Simplex;
  • Espumizan;
  • Bobotik;
  • Broths of herbs — fennel, a camomile, fennel.

Before you decide to give to the child any given medicine surely consult with the pediatrician! With medicines of plant origin it is necessary to be too accurate as the child can have an allergy.

Intestinal gripes at all newborns last differently, depending on many factors. But, as a rule, they overcome also the kid and his parents from three weeks of life to three months.

But it would be desirable to note that you should not hope that on approach of three months of colic suddenly will stop. Here everything is strictly individual. It is necessary to stock up as much as possible with patience and to help the kid to transfer as much as possible without serious consequences this hard period of life.
