When does infant colic occur?
Even the youngest children often suffer from flatulence, abdominal pain and painful cramps.Since these symptoms mainly occur in the first three months of life, they are often referred to as three-month colic.A possible reason for this is that the intestines first have to get used to the new food.Even if you drink quickly from your breast or from a bottle, more air can get into your stomach.

Many babies find it difficult to rest, especially at night, as the pain often gets worse when lying down.If the sleepless nights pile up, it can be very stressful for both the baby and the parents.

What helps with 3-month colic?
If a baby suffers from colic, a lot of loving care is required.Even though constant screaming can be difficult, it is important to remain calm.Warmth and gentle touch can help soothe baby if they have digestive problems.A warm cherry stone pillow has a relaxing effect on cramps, and a light abdominal massage with circular movements in a clockwise direction can aid digestion.Many parents also use the aviator hold, in which the baby lies on its stomach on mom or dad's forearm.

In addition, the administration of Simeticon AL Emulsion can gently help to alleviate the symptoms.


The cry diary: Valuable support for parents
When an infant expresses its discomfort by crying loudly, parents want it to calm down quickly.A cry diary can be helpful.This records when and how long the child cries, in which situations it occurs, which calming methods were tried and how the baby reacted to them.By keeping regular records, parents can better understand which measures will best help their child with distressing digestive problems.
