Colicky Crying Babies in Danger of Losing Their God-Given Milk
Anne Agar
A breastfed crying baby is at risk of being changed to bottle feeding just because the new mom is hoping it will stop her baby crying with colic every evening. This happens if the thought keeps returning 'is my milk giving my baby colic?'
My advice would be 'Don't make the change because it won't help and your baby will miss out on getting the antibodies in your milk. You're successfully breastfeeding so be happy about that.'
Manufactured baby milk can't be as good and won't help. It won't stop your colicky baby's pains. I changed my baby to being bottle fed. She was only 6 weeks old and it wasn't a good idea to make the change. Lots of new mothers make the same mistake.
While a mother's breastfeeding it's very easy and quick to stop baby crying and simply cure colic once and for all. This is the ideal way so mothers need to keep right on breastfeeding while they learn more.
If a baby with colic is having formula help is still available.
It just might not so quick. It could take a couple of days instead of just a few hours because of getting the quantity and frequency of the missing nutrient right.
I really believe there's just one cause for colic and one home treatment for colic that's effective. Babies in their hundreds all got quick relief because the same thing caused their colic and so the same treatment cured it.
People write about Colic Causes and Cures but, from what I have learned I'd say this is not so.
Colic seems to have a single cause, otherwise why have hundreds of babies supplied with the same nutrient recovered from colic very quickly? Doesn't it seem to follow that hundreds more babies would get the same benefit?
So what causes babies to have colic? The problem seems to start in the womb when baby is dependent on nourishment through the umbilical cord. The cure comes easily and naturally when the resulting situation is corrected. It doesn't take long at all.
Colicky babies easily become colic-free, but first the parents are the ones who don't find it easy because they have to accept that this remedy does work!
God's plan included the ability to nourish babies while in the womb through the placenta and umbilical cord and then out of the womb with fresh, perfect temperature milk for the beginning of their lives, for as many months as we (or baby) wish.
The ultimate, perfect milk for newborns! Or it should have been, so what starts the problem?
