Intestinal pain water is harmful to the health of babies

The baby has just come into this world from the mother's womb. He is affected by the external environment, has poor resistance, and is extremely susceptible to bacterial infection. If he is not carefully cared for, many diseases will come to him. Also, the baby's bones and organs are not fully developed yet, so parents need to pay attention at all times to prevent problems with the child's internal organs. For newborn babies, intestinal colic is a very common phenomenon. Can intestinal colic water be used when babies have intestinal colic?

Intestinal colic

The NHS says infantile colic is frequent crying in an otherwise healthy baby and affects around 1 in 5 children. Colic usually starts when your baby is a few weeks old and resolves on its own by 4-6 months. Caring for a baby who is colic can be difficult, but it is usually nothing to worry about and you will get through this phase.

The NHS says there is no treatment or relief that works for all babies with colic, and because colic can get better on its own, medication is not usually recommended. If you really want to try it, you can try Simeticone drops or Lactase drops. If there is no improvement after trying something for 1 week, it is not recommended to try it again.

The following measures may help babies with colic:

1. Cuddle your baby.

2. Keep the baby's body upright when feeding to prevent the baby from swallowing air into the stomach.

3. Burp your baby after feeding.

4. Let your baby rest on your shoulder. Or let your baby crawl on your forearm.

5. Give your baby a warm bath.

7. Breastfeeding mothers should not drink too much tea, coffee or other caffeinated beverages. Some mothers find that milk or other dairy products, spicy foods, and alcohol can also make colic worse. You can try eliminating these things from your baby's diet for 1-2 weeks to see if your baby's symptoms improve. If you don't eat dairy products, you can take some calcium tablets to supplement calcium.

8. Babies who are formula-fed can try hypoallergenic formula for 1-2 weeks to see if there is any improvement; if there is no improvement after 1-2 weeks, return to regular formula. Soy formula is generally not recommended for babies under 6 months old because it contains hormones that may interfere with your baby's development.

9. Babies who are bottle-fed should use nipples/holes of appropriate sizes to prevent them from swallowing air.

10. Put your baby in a stroller and push him for a walk. Or put him in the car seat and take him for a drive.

11. Rock your baby gently, but never too hard.

12. Use white noise.

The support and help of family members are very important. If no one helps and you really can’t bear it, you can put your child in a safe place (such as a crib) and then go to the next room or outside the door to calm down. When the baby falls asleep, you should also take a rest and put the housework aside.

To help babies with possible discomfort when teething, the NHS says you can let your baby chew on a refrigerated (not frozen) teething ring.

Although teething may cause a slight increase in body temperature, it will not cause a fever above 38°C with a rectal temperature. If teething causes pain, try acetaminophen or ibuprofen.

The benefits of topical gel preparations for treating tooth eruption pain have not been proven, UpToDate says. Teething gels containing benzocaine should not be used on teething infants or children under 2 years of age.

Summary: Wu Dewu's Intestinal Colic Water is not mentioned in any authoritative British data, which shows that it is probably not supported by scientific evidence. Intestinal colic and teething discomfort can heal themselves. The sun coming out after the rooster crows does not mean that the sun is caused by the rooster's crowing. The relief of symptoms after using the intestinal colic water does not mean that it is the effect of the intestinal colic water (it may be a coincidence that it got better by itself). If the intestinal pain water is really effective, the manufacturer can conduct a randomized controlled trial to obtain approval from an authoritative organization. Not conducting a trial proves that they know very well that this thing is actually useless. If you want to do something to help your baby, do what the NHS recommends. Children are not guinea pigs, so don't let them try everything.
