COLIC GURU
How We Help
Fussy? Refluxing? Colicky?
Gas and winds can cause discomfort in the newborn baby. In the early stages, they may simply be fussy. But this can progress to colic and reflux, especially if you only treat symptoms with medicines.
But with good technique and a little time, we can help our baby to
pass more gas and wind in a natural way.
How To Untrap Gas & Wind
Gas and wind causing cramps, reflux and crying can be encouraged to escape from the top or bottom. We teach two routines to help this happen:
1. A burping routine for hard to burp babies:
Any mom can tell you that a baby that doesn't burp well is a fussy baby. The longer this goes on, the more colicky they become. Standard burping techniques work for most babies, but not all. For these babies, we need to be more creative and do a variety of different techniques and we need to be a lot more active in doing them.
