Our experts explain what is baby colic
When we talk about the famous infant colic we refer to the common benign disorder frequently diagnosed in babies, in their first months of life.
Despite the fact that it affects approximately 40% of babies and the large number of investigations carried out, to date, it has not been possible to clarify the reason why this colic develops.
Since more than 40 years ago, this disorder has been characterized by the crying of the baby for more than 3 hours a day, for more than 3 days a week and for more than 3 weeks. In addition, babies often get very red, tense, with a cry like screaming and perform aggressive movements through the arms and legs.
At Kusi Wawa we collaborate with professionals who are dedicated to the care of newborns, what is their definition about them? And how do you think Kusi Wawa helps relieve them?
- Anna Sabrià, child physiotherapist. Vilanova y la Geltrú: "Infant colic is episodes of uncontrolled crying for three hours or more, more than three times a week. Normally they are given in the evening-night. It is important that a pediatrician, midwife or physiotherapist specializing in children be the one to diagnose the colic of the infant because today we find a hyper excess of diagnoses in the case of colic that are not.
I perform a treatment of infant colic in a global way. We combine preventive massage with thermotherapy to relieve the moment of crying as it usually produces fantastic results. In any case, each case is unique since each circumstance must be dealt with individually according to the family reality. "
- Montse Sánchez, ABS Vic Nord. Vic: "We always say that cramps are like belly pains, that babies have gas. It is a general malaise that they suffer, that they do not know how to explain well at all and which they need to solve.
The thermotherapy of the Wawa Band is analgesic with what helps them relieve pain. In addition, combining it with the contact of the parents is usually an effective remedy. "
- Ylenia Sánchez, CAP Antón de Borja. Rubí: "The colic of the infant is a very irritating crying of the newborn, regardless of the type of breastfeeding that is performed, and sudden onset, difficult to calm. It appears especially at night, between the first 2 weeks of life and 3-4 months.
To treat it, it is important to remain calm. This is why we like working with Kusi Wawa so much because it gives us tools to be able to maintain this state of peace and help effectively. "
In Kusi Wawa, through our experience, we have understood colic as the combination between the intestinal pain suffered by the newborn, along with the emotional factor of this one that needs our help to relax.
For this reason, and with the clear objective of improving the baby's life and also helping the parents, Kusi Wawa investigated all the traditional ways to alleviate the baby's colic, its effects and finally found his natural method. This technique tries to alleviate the symptoms through two key factors:
- The relief of physical pain through the application of thermotherapy. The tool to achieve this is our patented product: the Wawa Band, which relieves the physical pain of the abdominal area of the infant thanks to its analgesic property.
- We offer the emotional support that the baby needs to finally calm down. This is achieved by rocking with our Wawa Wrap, holding him in his arms, swinging him and making relaxing noises. At this point, we follow the recommendations of a world-renowned Doctor for working with colic: Dr. Harvey Karp.
In summary, the key factor for its effectiveness is to focus on improving the patient's symptoms with mere contact and the natural relief of thermotherapy.
