How does your colicky baby feel?
In today's post we try to put ourselves in the shoes of our newborns. What do you feel when you have colic? Try to understand why they are so difficult to calm down.
First of all, we have to understand that our newborn has just arrived in this world. So far, it's been inside Mom's tummy all day. Warm, well lulled and with a constant rocking. Listening to your heart beat, rhythmically, constantly ...
Suddenly, they come into the world. They are no longer in their "private pool", they are no longer always warm. They have to start eating, they have to get Mom's attention.
Our newborns need an ADAPTATION time when they are born. They need contact with you. They need to feel you close. Carrying helps a lot in these situations. They feel your smell, they listen to your heart, they sway with your movement. They feel lulled. It is, perhaps, the sensation most similar to what they felt when they were inside the tummy.
Another symptom they feel is the new sensation of eating. They are hungry, but with eating sometimes comes the small discomforts of gas, etc. They are getting used to the little discomforts that the new reality brings. So finding ways to alleviate this pain with the Wawa Band or pre-emptive massage can help a lot.
So, if you want to facilitate your baby's transition to this world, the main recommendation would be to carry him a lot. Make a lot of contact with your newborn. It is a little while that he needs you 100% and, although sometimes he gives you the feeling that you cannot do everything, remember that the day will come when he will grow up and then you will miss him.
Cuddle him a lot, cuddle him well. Give it your warmth and your time. The first few months, more than ever, you need it.
