Why do massages help reduce colic?
If your baby suffers from colic or gas, you have probably heard about: "do massages, which will help!"
And surely your biggest question is ... false myth? Or certainty?
As you well know, we have been collaborating with AEMI for more than a year and we have talked with them to explain the reason for this statement.
1.The contact.
Contact favors your newborn. It is positive for its development. It helps you feel safe, your self-esteem increases. A baby who feels safe is a baby who sleeps better. Which in general, is more relaxed. And, the direct consequence of this is a lower intensity of colic.
2.Creation of routines.
Massages allow us to create routines. A baby when he has well-marked routines is when he feels better. You can anticipate what is coming, you can know if the night is coming or if it is time to play.
It is very important that we do the massages at the moment that the baby is calm. We will never do it at the moment the baby is in full tears. If you do not understand why we say this, at the end of this article we will attach other articles that explain it in detail.
3. We favor the process of digestion.
Thanks to the movements in the gut, we favor intestinal transit. So if there are stagnant gases we can help expel them.
So, if they tell you to do massages again, now you know that they really help reduce colic. But not because of what most people think (point three) but because of a combination of several aspects.
