How can heat help a baby that has colic?
The heat effect has always had a calming effect in cases of pain. We already did a post a few months ago about the benefits of applying heat to the baby's belly. We recommend that you recover it if you are interested in the subject. There are many uses that have been given to the application of heat and has been recommended, from generation to generation. We even see this event take place in different millennial cultures. As adults, we recommend thermotherapy in cases of low back pain, menstrual pain, muscle pain ... the pharmaceutical industry even uses this technique in their creams of muscle painkillers. High-performance athletes, such as Olympians or major leagues, use daily thermotherapy to reduce muscle discomfort.
In an article devoted to thermotherapy, Vitonica defines that thermotherapy has the following effects:
- Vasodilation. The heat acts as an analgesic (reduces the sensation of pain), favors the nutrition of the tissues and eliminates the waste products.
- Decreased blood pressure. Heat lowers blood pressure.
- Sedative effect. Long-lasting heat stimulation has a sedative effect, as it promotes muscle relaxation, prevents spasms, relieves fatigue, and slows the nerve conduction of pain stimuli. If we apply these effects to the abdominal area, we see that the warmth effect offered by the Wawa Band will help your baby to:
- Reduce the sensation of pain thanks to the fact that the heat acts as an analgesic
- Stimulates movement in the abdominal area by avoiding spasms and promotes muscle relaxation
- Sedative effect thanks to prolonged application of heat. Said article mentions that heat applications should be at most about 30 minutes. The Kusi Wawa cushion, once hot, has the advantage that gradually loses heat and respects this term.

Also, you have the security that the temperature will never go to more. Applying heat to the baby's belly is a recovery from a classic. As we have said, it is one of those teachings that pass from generation to generation. In the area of Morocco a mother explained that her grandmother taught that they heated oil and, with the oil a little warm then they would massage the baby's tummy to relieve it. In Latin America, some moms told us that hot water bags are used a lot. In Spain itself this technique has been used with also water bags or electric straws. We love being a renovation of a classic, a modernization of what works and has worked for a lifetime. Raising that which is natural, and which exerts a real function. A reinvention to make it operate better and safer. We love making it more practical. So you apply the heat without having to hold anything on your belly. And we love that it is also so cute that you can not stop looking at your baby and see how beautiful it is when you relax so much with the Wawa Band. The Wawa Band is the first part of the Kawi Wawa Method. The part where we treat the physical part of the colic of the baby. Apart from cramps, it also helps to expel gases and helps to resolve the dyskecia. We hope the Wawa Band you like it as much as we do, and it works so well that you recover the happy nights at home.
