What is infant crying syndrome? 

The infant crying syndrome, also known as Colic, occurs in some babies during the first 3 to 4 months of life. This syndrome is defined by the "3 weeping" rule: Babies cry at least 3 hours a day, more than 3 days per week and for 3 weeks or more. The syndrome also causes stress and anxiety for parents. Children with this syndrome often cry suddenly and persistently.

The cause of the crying syndrome

There are many answers and theories about the cause of this syndrome. However, doctors have pointed out some of the following basic causes:

Your baby's personality and adaptation to living environment

Infants need time to adapt to a completely unfamiliar environment from their mother's womb and not all infants have the same personality traits. Some babies adapt well, while others do not. Some children are very easygoing and obedient, others are very fussy about crying.

Children are easily stimulated by surrounding influences

Some babies seem too sensitive to a certain stimulus and cannot calm down or hold back on their own. As you grow a little, the nervous system will gradually develop completely and your child can control his behavior better. Then, this fussy syndrome will disappear.

Too sensitive to air

If your baby has fussy syndrome, the baby will fart more by inhaling so much air while crying for such a long time.

Milk allergy

Milk allergy can cause colic, diarrhea , upset baby's intestines, baby's fussiness and refusal to lie still.

Symptoms of infant crying syndrome can resemble many other diseases, so parents need to bring their children to a doctor for a full examination and consultation.

Measures for dealing with fussy infant crying syndrome

Make sure your baby is not hungry, but don't force him to suck too much while he is full and doesn't want to feed anymore;

Change your child's position. Mom can let baby sit up if he is lying down. If you are holding the baby with your face behind you, you should keep your head straight and at the same time turn your back out so that you can see many different things in this new world;

Let your child see interesting things. Things of different shapes, colors, textures and sizes will delight you. In addition, the mother can talk or sing to the baby gently;

Take the baby for a walk with the mother;

Wrap the blanket around the baby;

Put your baby in the crib and rock gently;

Place the baby on his stomach in the mother's arms and gently strok his back;

Push your baby with a stroller. The movement of the car will make the baby feel comfortable and stop crying;

Try using objects in your baby's room to make repeated sounds like fans and alarm clocks. The sound of a vacuum cleaner or washing machine can also soothe your baby when it fussy;

Hold and hold your baby;

Use a pacifier;

Take turns for other family members to take care of the baby so that the mother can rest. Taking care of yourself and reducing stress can also help your baby.
