#Baby health tip: Colic in babies.


😭Does your baby cry or scream a lot? Is he struggling with daily pain and discomfort?
🤮Does he vomit or does he fight the breast or sometimes refuse to feed? Does he need to be carried most of the time and does he have trouble sleeping? Does he have rashes or allergies?
🥺Are you only sleeping a few hours each night?
Getting to the root cause of the reflux/colic problem can be like working out a jigsaw - There are lots of interconnecting pieces and you need an overall picture to solve the puzzle. 🖌
I will take time to listen to your story. I will take a full history of the pregnancy, labour, birth and feeding journey to date. I will look at baby's history to date, observe a full feed, or two, and do a physical and oral examination. I will use all of this information to see the big picture and gain an understanding of the root cause or causes of the problem. It is only then can a solution to the problem be considered. 🤓
Together, we will formulate a plan to help reduce your baby's symptoms and distress. This care plan may include referrals to other health professionals. 👂
