How We Can Help Colicky Babies
There are 4 main causes of colic in babies:
-
The big one is trapped gas - in stomach or intestinal tract
-
Musculoskeletal tension - tight, stiff baby
-
Diaphragm spasm - excessive hiccups
-
Overwhelmed nervous system - inconsolable crying
Most common symptoms include crying, cramping, moaning, arching, reflux, bloating, body tension, restless sleep and feeding difficulties.
