Home About KRY That is how it works common questions Colic Generally Infantile colic affects approximately one in six children and the cause is not completely clear. Colic is when the child screams intensely and inconsolably for several hours and is recurring at the same time of day. Colic is most common in children between two weeks of age and five months of age. Symptom When the child screams intensely and so much that he gets tired of the effort, it can be a sign of colic. Other symptoms may be that the baby seems to have pain or gas in the stomach. The child often screams in the afternoon or evening. The parents will soon recognize a pattern and can interpret what the child's scream is a sign of. It can be food, closeness, that the diaper is wet or something else. If the screaming continues, it could be infantile colic. Causes It is not yet known what causes colic, although research is ongoing. Some doctors believe that the baby cannot handle cow's milk, either through infant formula or through the mother passing cow's milk through breastfeeding. Others believe that spasmodic contractions in the stomach make the baby scream. There are also theories that colic is due to the child's sensitive digestive system and that this can lead to too many gases which in turn cause problems. Nearly half of children with colic have gastroesophageal reflux disease. Treatment Det finns inte en specifik behandling eller en tydlig väg att gå för barn med kolik. Vad för slags behandling som fungerar får prövas fram tills man hittar ett sätt. Ett råd är att mamman testar att utesluta komjölk så att barnet inte får i sig det via amning. Forskning har visat att detta underlättar för en del barn. Andra sätt kan vara att ge barnet lugn och ro och hålla det borta från så mycket stimulans som möjligt. En del barn blir också lugna av monoton musik eller ljud i form av dammsugare eller bilmotor. När du bör söka vård First, check that the recurring cry is not due to anything else, such as ear infection , by consulting a healthcare professional. It can be difficult at first to see if the scream is ordinary screaming or colic screaming. The difference with colic is that the child screams for about three hours straight. Colic in itself is not a life-threatening condition for the child, but as a parent you can feel helpless. It can also be tiring for the parents with the intense, inconsolable cry and therefore relief may be needed.
