Colic How Granny Smith Nearly Took My Life
The good news for all colic sufferers is that it is only
temporary but the bad news, just how long is temporary. I am not
sure what kind of pain comes with dying but if ever there was a
feeling of the end nearing it was in the temporary moment of my
own experience where the excruciating agony was to leave me
fearing for my life.
Approx 15% of children suffer from colic and the alarming thing
about it is our medical world is baffled by what exactly
triggers the condition. Doctors can not agree on most theories
that have been raised therefore making matters more difficult
when suggesting and prescribing treatment and medicines. One of
those theories to give reason why this sort of cramp flares up
is said to be that a child's intestines are working overtime
(hard) another theory raised by the medical profession for colic
has us to believe it can be caused by laid back bowel movements
(slow) thus allowing air into the bowel causing the intestine to
swell giving cause for pain.
Within 2/4 weeks after giving birth this stomach upset can
start and can run for a 3 month spell. If baby is a sufferer
then he/she may cry for up to 3-4 hours very loudly. No dummy or
mothers TLC can take the pain away but it will certainly help in
comforting them. Spasms usually kick in about the same time
twice daily, this can vary.
Bowel pains can give cause for baby to scrunch the body pulling
the feet up to the chest with clenched fists. Stomach rumbles
burping or passing wind can be evident also. As a parent you
know your child better than anyone so if you notice any change
in your infants health
giving you reason for concern, colic
related or not please consult a doctor. Symptoms can be
identified to other ailments so it is best to make sure.
Babies are a lot stronger than you could imagine and will
outgrow spasms of colic. Any doubts you may have where it
interferes with baby's development then I suggest you put them
thoughts to the back of your head.
Colic in babies can prove to be an ordeal for parents who have
tried every thing possible to comfort the infant. Lack of sleep
is the main cause behind the enormous amount of stress laid upon
the parents at this trying time. Mum and dads have been known to
lose control of their temper and intend to bawl and shout, thus
frightening the baby. (Unintentional in most cases) What we have
to remember, baby is also tired and is the one in pain.
PS If ever I thought the last rights was in order was the night
I suffered a bout of colic. The doctor's theory was down to the
consumption of a citrus fruit or drink on an empty stomach, and
how right he was.
Granny Smith in the form of a juicy green apple was the culprit
behind this vicious assault that was to leave me living in fear
of the forbidden fruit. I was lucky to find the answer for my
suffering but where do the answers lie for the newborn whose
only connection with a granny is one who will love them till
their dying day.
