The full Kusi Wawa method
As we shared yesterday in our social networks, one of the most delicate things is the knowledge of the entire Kusi Wawa method. Sometimes, only the initial part is applied and we want to make sure that, in order for the method to work well for colic cases, it is necessary to apply the 2 parts that make up the method. Today we will briefly summarize these two parts so that we know what they are dealing with in each case. We started the Kusi Wawa Method with the application of heat to the belly thanks to the Wawa Band. Heat acts as an analgesic and helps reduce the sensation of pain. We have dedicated two posts previously to define the benefits of the application of heat in the belly and that we will add you to the end of this post so that you can recover them. In addition, the cushion also has an aromatherapy component that helps to relax the baby. It is a blend made with a herbalist. Created specifically to protect the baby and does not produce any allergy. The smell is demonstrated by focus groups that relax not only babies but also dads. The second part of the method is that we help the baby emotionally to stop crying. In a case of colic of the baby, the baby despairs and is very difficult to reassure (practically impossible). That is why, only with the application is not enough. It is necessary to give the necessary emotional support so that you can relax. Many times we skip this part because we consider that it is not important, but it is as much or more important than the previous one. To help babies relax, we follow Dr Harvey Karp's theory of 5s. The 5 s consist of 5 actions to be performed with the babies to get them to relax.
1. Swaddle the baby. At this point we are practicing containment to keep the baby from becoming more nervous. When in desperation, the baby moves arms and legs very fast. The more he moves, the more nervous he gets. So breaking with this dynamic is very positive.
2. Hold the baby belly down
3. Swing the baby
4. Make a white noise
5. If it is a baby who requires suction to finish relaxing, give him the pacifier or chest.
So, just by applying both parts of the method we get to relax the babies who are suffering with cramps. It is a natural treatment and based on attachment.
We accompany the baby throughout the process and help him relax. At first, by being desperate will require you to perform all actions with intensity. As they relax, we will reduce that intensity.
