Being a parent is not a cake walk its an uphill task
and the day you become a parent you will realize what our parents went thru when they were bring us up. We at that time found every possible fault with our moms and today when we are one, we can't thank our mom's enough for how well she bought us up. It's not like their issues were any different from ours if we actually see we are more blessed as we have more information and we are well prepared comparatively to them. Today if we need an answer all we need to do is Google it and we have all first hand information on our laptops our moms didn't have that. We have colic and whiny babies they had to deal with whining too.
Dealing
with a colic baby or your babies droning can drive you up the wall but who said
parenting was easy. I understand for a new mom it is crazy to handle an
inconsolable baby but there are ways and then there is also loads and loads of
patience. Being a mother your second name has to be patience. First you need to
identify if your baby is a colic baby or its just whinny. A colic baby will
show symptoms of colic around the 3rd week onward if they are crying
for more than 3 to 4 hours in a day and nearly every single day. Then be
sure your baby is a colic baby. There is no scientific reasoning or cause of
colic it doesn't mean your child has an infection or is sick. It just means
there is something bothering the baby that needs to be recognized and then rectified.
First check for lactose intolerance, which is a major reason for colic in
babies if yes then immediately stop formula milk and keep the baby on breast
milk more food substitutes list, can be taken from your baby's
pediatrician.
Next would be gas, again found major in babies who depend more on formula milk, gas is formed if the baby hasn't burped well after her feed so make sure you spend sometime in making the baby burp properly before making them lie down. Digestive syrups are also available that will ease the baby of gas ask your doctor to prescribe a good for your baby. Also what you can do is hold the baby upright with her head resting on your shoulders gently massage the babies back in vertical movement this will also give the baby some relief from gas.
Babies can whine if they are hungry try to feed them if they do not take your feed then check their diaper; a dirty diaper can cause irritation and make them whine too. Babies also tend to get tired if they have been held too much on a particular day by lightly massaging their back feet and hands with a baby oil can give them some comfort and that will also put them to sleep.
Whatever the discomfort may be the best and only form of relief is mothers embrace and warmth. To quiet an extent babies cry more because of emotional discomfort to deal with that immediately hold your baby and start comforting him. You can also put on the babies favorite nursery rhyme or a soothing song , distracting the baby with a musical toy or even taking the baby outdoor for sometime will do the trick of calming him. Making the baby laugh by showing them something funny also will calm them down and make them forget tier reason for whining. Taking care of a crying baby needs all the patience in the world for that it is also important for you to be in good health and well rested. So make sure you are getting enough sleep proper diet and are strong enough physically and emotionally to face day to day challenges your baby throws at you.
Take care!!
