Treat Colic- effective symptom treating.
A colic cure? Well not really. The day that there is a cure for colic it will be a major announcement, and everyone will know about it.
But can there really ever be a cure for colic? I think there are compelling reasons why there won’t be a cure any time soon.
My belief is that colic is predominantly due to brain development in infants. (If you want to know why I think that then you will have to read my book about how to stop a crying baby) Therefore the cure will have to affect this brain development problem, and right now no physician in their right mind would mess with giving a baby a drug that affects the brain.
So what do you do? Just let it run it’s course? You could do nothing, and many parents inadvertantly do exactly that. But you would be cheating your baby and yourself out of happiness for both parties
The answer is to be the nurse and ease any pain and suffering because there is no magic pill, you should address the cause and make the patient as comfortable as possible. It’s just like treating a sniffle, or a broken arm - there is no magic pill, but you can reduce the symptoms to ease pain and suffering for the patient
OK so lets get started, first you need to know what to treat. If you are a parent with a infant that has colic then you pretty much will be concentrating on the main symptom. The Screaming!
Actually it is as simple as that to begin with. So this will be simpler than you thought.
OK thats it you’re done
Just kidding.
How do you treat the colic? There are 5 steps you must know, that when used with one another will put your screaming baby to sleep in a few moments. I normally only need 3 of the 5 steps in combination and that is enough to put baby into a slumber most of the time.
I will give away Step1, Step 4 and Step 5 to you here now. But to get the really {juicy|important} {steps|elements|parts} you will have to go to my colic website and get the info for free.
STEP 1 Body Contact.
Touch to the front and back of baby at the same time by
using contact with your own body. This step is first because it works
in with step 3. I was originally going to make this step 3 but since it is
so fundamental and a prerequisite for other steps I decided to make
this step 1.
STEP 2 & 3 left out.
STEP 4: Use a Swaddle. There are video links on my site on how to do that.
STEP 5: Dummy or Pacifier - people think this is the best they can do, in these steps it is actually the worst one, and I have Proof It will actually increase the amount of time for baby to sleep when you use a pacifier.
I have much more detail about each step on my site. The 5 steps take up at least 15 pages in the free ebook.
