Different children have painful gas formation in different ways, more often or less often. At the same time, the child screams, cannot fall asleep, and the whole family does not sleep with him.

The cause of abdominal pain in a baby
Why does a baby have a tummy ache? There are several reasons, one of which is intestinal colic and gas, and what can cause colic and gas?
Firstlyeating mom. Gadgets in the intestines of the baby are formed in the same way as in an adult. Some products cause strong gas formation, while the use of others, the formation of gases is practically absent. Remember, from what food you had before, before pregnancy, there was a “fart”. Exclude this food right away. Next, carefully monitor after what your food the baby’s stomach begins to hurt. To do this, within a few days, divide meals, eat separately soup, after a while separately porridge or meat, in order to accurately understand which product is not suitable for both of you now.

It may turn out that the set of dishes left after all the exceptions is not rich. Do not worry, this is a temporary measure. After a few months, your baby will grow up, become larger, and gaziki will easily come out of his body.
The second reason that the tummy in the baby hurts - The mental state of a nursing woman. It is very important not to be nervous. Mom’s experiences are transmitted to the child, with nervous excitement, his muscles tighten, shrink and make it difficult for gaziks to exit the anus.
The third possible cause of abdominal pain in infants - increased fat content of milk. At the same time, thick fat milk in the digestive system of the baby is poorly absorbed and causes pain. In such cases, it is enough for the mother to give the baby some water before feeding.

- To prevent the appearance of intestinal colic, the baby is given tummy massage (light strokes around the navel in a clockwise direction) and gymnastics (flexion and extension of the legs to the tummy). It is also necessary to lay the baby on the tummy before feeding.
An excellent remedy for pain in the tummy is a weak decoction of chamomile.
The amount of chamomile is taken from the calculation of one tablespoon per liter of water. For a day, it’s enough for the baby to brew one glass (200 g of water and 1/5 of a teaspoon of chamomile). The broth should be filtered, poured into a bottle and give the baby a drink before feeding. A hungry baby will first take this water for food and will actively suck it. Fifteen minutes later, a decoction of chamomile will pass from the stomach into the intestines, the child will feel hunger again and let you know about it. Now feed him milk.

When a child is bothered by a tummy, one wants to help him as soon as possible, which advice you will not see on forums, even conspiracies of the people. As for folk remedies, I’m not sure, many herbal decoctions have contraindications even up to 3 years old, they affect the kidneys and blood pressure. Therefore, the best remedy is probiotic supplements to form the right microflora. I tried the Bifidum sourdough from the Bakzdrav company, it helps a lot to eliminate all the signs of dysbiosis and is recommended from 6 months. After about five to six weeks of applying the leaven, constipation stopped and the child stopped pushing and screaming.
