It is not uncommon for newborn babies to go through periods when they appear abnormally irritable or seemingly cry for no reason. However, if you suspect your baby is suffering from colic, you may look for the following symptoms:
- cries vigorously for long periods, despite efforts to console
- symptoms occur around the same time each day or night, often after meal times, and usually ending as abruptly as they began
- shows signs of gas discomfort and abdominal bloating
- has a hard, distended stomach, with knees pulled to the chest, clenched fists, flailing arms and legs, and an arched back
- experiences frequent sleeplessness, irritability and fussiness
In most cases, colic is the worst pain a baby has thus experienced. To relive your infant from this pain there are several ways:
- Colic drops are available in market for infant and usually solve the minor colic problem.
- Gripe water is also helpful for relieving colic pain
- you can also try this home remedy of mine to sooth you baby:
take some fennel seeds, pepper mint, a small cinamon stick, 2 or 3 cardamom and 1 or 2 big cardamon, add about 1 1/2 cup of water and cook for 3-4 minutes, until it is cooked properly and have changed color.
