Colic is one of the babies most usual problems. They cry to death. Colic babies cause severe sleep deprivation, frustration and exhaustion in parents as they worry constantly try to quiet the infant. But it is your infant care responsibility to nurse your baby in this kind of condition.

Colic crying consists of frequent and prolonged outbursts. According to experts, the most common reason for colic is abdominal pain in babies and the two most common reasons that cause tummy ache in infants are discussed here along with their symptoms and cures:

-Reflux or Gastro-esophageal Reflux Disease (GERD): Since the circular band of muscle where the esophagus joins the stomach in babies is not fully matured yet, it allows stomach acid to flow into the esophagus and this causes heartburn and irritation in the lining.The symptoms that manifest, babies cry a lot and are inconsolable. They spit up after feeding, writhe in pain, have frequent wet or sour burps and cannot sleep properly.
For cure, breast milk easier to digest and will reduce the chances of reflux. For colic babies, give half the amount at once but twice as often. Especially in bottle-feeding, it helps to digest milk better. After feeding, keep the baby upright elevating his head for about 30 to 45 degrees for at least half an hour. It is a must to burp the baby immediately after feeding. If your baby still remains colicky, the doctor may prescribe medication to reduce stomach acid.
-Allergy: A component of a formula or something in a mother’s diet who is still breastfeeding may act as an allergen for the baby.The symptoms that manifest: Apart from symptoms of GERD, the other symptoms of allergy may include diarrhea and raised rashes on the face and body of the baby.
For cure to this, feed your baby more frequently and in smaller amounts. If you are bottle-feeding for the baby, try a hypoallergenic formula. Cow’s milk is the most common infant allergen, so you can eliminate it for a week from a breastfeeding mother’s or baby’s diet and see whether it improves the condition of your baby. Other things that may act as allergens for the baby are soy, wheat, eggs and nuts.

Those mentioned are some of the possible ways to sooth your baby’s colic. However, most babies outgrow that condition at the age of about three to six months. Find the best way to nurse your baby.
