What is the Kusi Wawa method in images
The kusi wawa method is a 100% natural method to relieve baby colic . Thanks to a few simple steps, we are able to relieve the pain that our newborns feel due to intestinal discomforts.
We improve cases of gas and disquecia thanks to the application of heat focused on the belly. The heat acts as an analgesic so you stop feeling pain. At the same time, the heat generates movement, reason why applied to the intestinal zone we manage to regularize the intestinal transit. In this way, if there are stagnant gases we help to send them away. In cases of dyschance, by relaxing the baby and inducing the movement we can help to expel the stool without pain.
In case of colic we need to apply the full kusi wawa method (view video tutorial).
We started with the application of heat in the belly thanks to the wawa band. But, once we've relieved the pain, we need to give the baby the emotional support he needs to finish relaxing.
At this point, we will apply the theory of an American pediatrician - Dr Harvey Karp.
He defines 5 actions to be performed with the baby to help relax him. The actions are as follows:
1. Swaddle. Wrap the baby with a lullaby. By wrapping the baby with a cuddle we are giving him security while we practice restraint. When a baby suffers from colic, he is usually very nervous. Which causes a rapid movement of arms and legs. The more nervous he gets, the more he moves. And the same movement every time makes him more nervous. So it is a fish that bites its tail. Thanks to the process of wrapping the baby we are breaking with this dynamic.
2. Side or Stomach. Place baby face down or side
3. Swing. Rock the baby
4. Shush. Make a constant soothing sound. The known, white noise.
5. Suck. If it is a baby that requires suction to relax, once it is calmer, we can offer suction (breast or pacifier).
That way we will get you to completely relax and fall asleep. Keep in mind that in the middle of the crisis, it will be difficult to get the baby's attention to help you. This is why we usually begin to carry out actions with great intensity. As you attend, we can lower the intensity until it is completely relaxed.
