Daddy's and baby colic

When a baby has cramps, it is very hard for the family. In fact, colic, as we have already mentioned in previous posts, tests the couple. After coping with hours of baby crying, the new parents are desperate and no longer know what to do. At that point, it's when more fights come up. If there are also two different breeding styles, the differences stand out and can become a pitched battle.

But this is not the issue today. Today we are going to talk about dads and how they live colic. When we started this adventure of Kusi Wawa I opened my heart with a post about how I felt when my daughter had colic. It was a very sincere post and I recommend you read it if you are suffering from colics now (http://www.kusiwawa.com/carta-about-about-collins-of-lactant). It describes in first person everything that I felt when our daughter suffered from cramps and how hard they can be those first months.

Today, however, we will not talk about myself. Let's talk about the dads. How they live colic. After talking with several families and consolidating the experiences with ours, we see that almost unanimously everyone agrees that when there is a case of colic the baby usually reassures himself better with the mother. Many times, when the baby is in full crying, he does not want to be with his father, he just wants to be with Mom. And this, can be very hard because, even if they want to help with the baby, sometimes they can not! And it is clear that you have to respect the baby and you have to help him relax in the way that he feels more comfortable. But this implies that popes often become mere spectators. Come as the mother and the baby are intertwined in a "dance" of breastfeeding, hugs, kisses, pampering ... and they can be a little on the sidelines.

Keep in mind that this "dance" is normal, since the baby has spent 9 months inside the mother's belly. And his smell, his voice, and so on. Remember that the baby is the only one who has heard the sound of his heart from within. There is nothing that can unite more to two people. Let them "dance" and be there for what they may need.

Dad, they're going to need help with the house. They're going to need help getting things right. They're going to need a lot of help. But most of all they will need you. Enjoy those crucial moments with your baby. Create routines with him / her so that little by little you begin to be part of your "dance". Bath and massage before going to sleep, reading a book, a moment of play ... whatever. Choose what you like most and commit to it.

When the bonds begin to form, you will increasingly accept your arms above those of Mama, and you can begin to develop the routines for colic with them. And is that, there is nothing prettier than a baby who sleeps in his father's arms ... do not you think?
