HOW TO PREVENT & TREAT STOMACH PAIN(colic) IN BABIES.

All newborn babies go through periods of crying or fussiness. However, when a healthy baby cries for more than 3 hours per day, more than 3 days per
week for at least 3 weeks, it is a condition known as
colic.
Although colic can be highly upsetting for both baby and parents, it is a normal condition, and it will eventually go away on its own.
Many people believe that a breastfeeding mother's diet can have an effect on a baby's system.
Avoiding certain foods for your baby's first six weeks will help to minimize
or prevent colic. Some foods can negatively affect a newborn, because it takes approximately two months for the digestive system to mature. Here are
some ideas for preventing colic in your baby.

1. Avoid eating certain fruits during your baby's first six weeks. These include berries, mangoes,
grapes, melons, lemons and pineapples.

2. Avoid eating certain vegetables during your baby's
first six weeks. These include broccoli, cabbage,
peas, cucumber, cauliflower, raw onions and
lentils.

3. Avoid drinking coffee or alcohol while you are
nursing. The alcohol or caffeine will pass through your breast milk to your baby.

4. Purchase special bottles. Bottle-feeding may cause and aggravate colic in your baby. Consider purchasing specially made anti-colic bottles. They
cost more than regular bottles, but they are a good investment if your baby suffers from colic.

5. Feed your baby in an upright position. If you feed your baby while he or she is lying down, her digestion
will slow down and her chances of getting colic will increase. Be sure to burp your baby after she is finished eating.
If she suffers from colic, have
her sit upright for about an hour after she eats. This will help her food to digest properly.

Sometimes it is necessary to use medicines, in our pharmacy (Medipharm/ seaclif, slip-way & seaclif)we have very nice medicines for your baby. You are welcome
