Symptoms of colic in one month old baby

If a one-month-old baby has colic, the child will cry and have fever symptoms. Because the pain is severe, the child's reaction is also severe. The child is relatively young, and parents cannot understand the child's pain, but through the child's symptoms, they can understand it. Therefore, it is necessary to take the child to the hospital for examination and provide timely and good treatment.

Symptoms of colic in one month old baby

Speaking of the characteristics of baby colic, it is very similar to intussusception, and both will cause intermittent crying. The difference is that colic will not cause vomiting or the passage of mucus containing blood in the stool. When babies have colic, they often scream suddenly, and sometimes cry so hard that their faces and necks turn red and thick. Some babies may also experience shaking heads and slightly rapid breathing.

When a baby has colic, his or her belly will be a little bloated, his or her hands will be clenched, and his or her feet will be straightened or bent. If you touch his or her hands or feet, they will feel cold. In fact, the baby's crying may be the most obvious sign of colic. The crying can last for minutes or even hours. Even if the mother coaxes and holds the baby, the baby will remain indifferent. In fact, the little guy is also quite tired because no one understands his pain.

What’s even cuter is that after the baby poops or farts, the colic will be relieved, but it will scare the mother.

Causes of colic in babies

In fact, baby colic is a mystery, and the medical community has not given a direct explanation. However, some experts speculate that the cause of infant colic may be constipation, bloating, diarrhea or milk allergy.

1. The small belly sucks in too much air. When babies are hungry or too full, they will cry. The action of crying may cause them to inhale too much air, so their little stomach will bulge. This feeling is extremely uncomfortable, so babies will start to cry.

2. Indigestion. The baby's stomach and intestines are still quite weak. There are not enough digestive enzymes and digestive juices in the digestive tract to break down food, especially amylase. The breast milk or formula milk that babies drink every day are difficult to digest. After all, they are high in protein. At this time, the baby may experience colic due to indigestion.

3. Psychological factors. Babies also have their own little emotions, such as anxiety, anger or nervousness. In fact, they are still emotionally unstable little guys. When their little emotions have nowhere to vent, babies are prone to colic.

4. The individual's physique is sensitive. Some babies will not feel uncomfortable even if they have bloating, but some babies have more sensitive constitutions, so their reactions will be more intense, resulting in colic.
