And if this is your first time seeing this face, do well to subscribe and turn on your notification bell. I want to welcome all our new traders in the house. Thanks for joining us. So today is Ask Dr. Bissar. The segments I usually share with you, the questions that came to mind in both. And today I'll be reading our first question here. We say, good morning, my baby is 28 days old and is having a colleague. What could be the cause? Some recommended a medication which I have tried. But he's two cries both night and day. Is there something I am not doing right? He is my third child. I didn't have those experience with the first two. So the first question I answered was that no child is the same. Every condition in a particular child usually differs from one child to another. So, colleague is not an exception. And if you have a male child, if you have a child who is an infant formula, their own experience will actually be different from a female child or an exclusively breastfed child. So, colleague is a prolonged and an intense cry in a healthy child. Prolonged intense cry and fusingness in a healthy child. It usually has its own peaks. It usually was at night or in the evening. And remember this child is fusing or crying. He is not wet and is healthy and is not hungry. So, these are the three things you need to rule out to be sure that he is a colleague. The time it occurs usually occurs in the evening or at a particular time of the day. Secondly, this child is not hungry. Totally, this child is not wet. Fourth, this child is healthy. So, why you have checked all these? There is no fever, there is no cough, there is no casser. And this child is crying with intense pain and fusingness. Then it is collique. Now, let me define colleague, medical fellows. Collique is an intense cry of fusingness in a healthy baby. The last four, three or more hours a day. For three or more days a week. And for three or more weeks. So, this is a definition. I remember the child has to be healthy. So, what are the features of colleague, there is intense crying like that of someone in pain. Usually, the child gets rigid. You see the hands, the legs, the back, the back. Then, these are the things you see. I say it could be. colleague also, remember the timing. It occurs at a particular time of the day. Usually, it is relieved by bore movements. It is relieved by bore movements. That means the child could pass phases or pass gas. And you see that the child begins to come. Because it is usually unknown. It starts at about the second week of life. And will stop around the three, they taught to four months of life. The cause is usually unknown. But there are several contributing factors. The first contributing factor could be the developing digestive system. When I had this experience on my first child, it can be stressful. And that is why parents worry a lot. They give so much concussion by the end. They will be telling all things we should do not give our child. In fact, if your baby is a strange colleague and worried, please take the child to the hospital and see a pediatrician. It is very important. So, now, the first contributing factor could be the developing digestive system. Otherwise, it could be excessive gas. Why eating, why swallowing, that's why we feel it is worse or more painful or more chronic in buttoffed children. Because they tend to swallow a lot more of it. Also, it could be due to lactose intolerance. And that is also why buttoffed or children want to breastfed. Exclusively, they have the worst form of colleague. I'm not saying that those that exclusively breastfed don't have colleague. But usually the worst form is found in those that are buttoffed or given in front from last. Also, another contributing factor could be the developing nervous system. It can also be a sign of a child's migraine. That's my green starting in childhood. This can also be another contributing. Also, it could be due to food allergy. Maybe your child is being exclusively breastfed. There could be something you're eating, a drug you're taking that your baby is reacting to. Also, if the child is not adequately booked, you know when we talk about booking, how we should see my children's safety books. Let me use this book. After you've breastfed, your child should lay on your shoulder or on your lips. Why you rub the back? And when the child belges, that shows that the child was well booked. So that's something that we saw. When a child is not well booked, it could also cause quality. Cause bopping helps them to remove excessive. Now, the risk factors are not yet clear, but to remember, I mentioned that it's more is more aggressive in the male gender. It's more aggressive in children who are not exclusively breastfed, who are a formula fed. And also, if your, if the woman's moved during pregnancy, quality can also be intense in the child. Also, they're trying to wear whether it's more in the pre-tem babies' deaths, premature babies or more in the 10 babies. So these are all risk factors that are being with. But remember, we said the cause of colleague is still nowhere on the suit. The conditions is majorly on the care giver. It could increase postpartum depression in a mother who is already stressed out with having a child and having a lot of changes in her body. Also, being about the feeling of, of good, anger, stress and those general overweighs. How do we prevent or at least make the child comfortable? One, make sure the child is not hungry, two, make sure you bump the child after each meal. Very well. Three, try white noise like the sound of washing machine, the sound, the sound of vacuum cleaner, dishwasher, all this can help distract the baby and make the baby to come. Some babies also prefer outdoors, beans, water, dirt, beans. You could address the baby and just place him or her on your skin naked. Just that sweating effect. Remember, this is a pain. So usually when you feel pain, you want to be suited. So most times when they're being that they're suited, it solves their problem. Keep them massage, put them on a swing, take them on car rides. But it's very important that we avoid shaking them vigorously as that could cause a damage to the urine. Also, you to take time out when the baby has cried. Remember this cry can last up to three hours. So you can imagine a child cry for three hours for no choice cause. I can remember my first. She cried and cried and cried. I trained her as they cried. So most times you give yourself brick, can give the baby to someone, another person and you go have your rest. Knowing that a colleague will always go in. Colleague does not really have does not have any lasting complications for the baby just that he stresses both of you out. So finally, please avoid giving medications that was not recommended by a doctor. You know, we have a lot of yard people, compound people trying to tell you to give that and that. Please do not give any medication. If it was not recommended by your doctor. Also avoid like I've seen someone say I talk about gripe water. I actually had it for the first time and it's actually so over the counter. Please do not give some girl. I had to give grip water because they feel grip and cry. Cry. Cry at the same time. Please do not give any sort of concussion some give oils and so many things. Drop rub on the baby. Your baby just needs to be suited. He needs to be talked to and needs to be distracted from whatever pain that he or she is patented. So I hope you enjoyed this video. Please if you have any questions for me, come in box.
