Breastfeeding and colic: help!
Yes, unfortunately, even if you are breastfeeding your baby, they may suffer from colic.
- First, let's be crystal clear: you are not responsible for anything!
- It's not your milk that's at fault, but rather your baby's little digestive system, which is still immature.
- With that in mind, let's get straight to the point: you're not to blame, but you can still do something to reduce your baby's discomfort.
- Avoid all foods that can produce gas.
- Limit feedings that are too close together.
- Keep your baby on the same breast long enough to let them get the fatty milk.
- Seek professional advice to help relieve your baby's pain.
