Crying & Colic:sweety

Name: Hetal



sweety, your concerns are normal. any baby below 3 months are very delicate and are affected by all foods that mother eat! even tiniest thing is just enough to disturb their normal schedule or behaviour.
dosa is gassy if you put more urad dal ! i give my baby the dosa of this recipe..she is 1 year and even though she is sensitive to gassy foods, this recipe has worked pretty well for her.
1rice(brand name sona masuri):1/4urad dal:1/8th medium poha (degdi poha).. wash all nicely,soak until 12 hours,more you soak,seed becomes lighter and easier to grind..making light dosa and easy to digest too...as here you are fermenting themixture and not cookin the mixture, until the dosa comesout...
after 12 hours, grind them,and let it ferment.. addsome buttermilk instead of water (if water is required)...and salt if you are putting it.

methi(fenugreek) helps ease digestion, and also boost milk production.also nullifies the gassy effect of urad dal.for any lentils try add some methi seeds when you boil dal in cooker..this way they wont come in mouth with bitter taste plus their effect eases digestion of lentils.
njoy all foods, with some LITTLE/DASH anti gas foods like garlic,fenugreek,ajma or oregano in there.

about massage,,massage with light finger pressure...check my post about massage..

at first all babies cry as its new to them..but if you think he is crying more,,well understand that your baby just dont like it...some babies do that..my baby was summer baby,she never liked massage, until summer,,after winter started,even though she was almost 6months, i kept trying every now and then,and she started liking it..after all its good for blood circulation, eliminates gas and also stimulates their senses,,how could i just stop it,,
so keep tryin ! talk to your baby, throw her smiles,,give her lots of touch,,hugs, kisses,,sing something to him,,ne and try to start massage...

about the noise,if its sucking noise, then its clear that he is sucking air with your milk ! which means, he is not properly latched..make a visit to your lactation consultant, and let her decide how actually it sounds,,she will be able to tell you right away.

good luck
takecare.

the overthe counter baby saline drops are good of use for stuffy nose..however, if the baby has cold with mucus in nose, then saline drops dont help much,,,use a good humidifier,,go to eopinions dot com for good reviews on whats best for your baby and acc to wat your baby is showing symptoms...
watever you use, always call your dr and ask for it...for a baby as young as 2 month old,any dr will rather tell you to go for alternative methods then using any medicines or drops,,unless he really sees the need of it.dont confuse blocked nose with dry stuffy nose ! if its dry stuffy nose without mucus or rather dry mucus stucked in nose, then saline drops works or else,,it wont !! if its wet mucus,and baby feels congested and if you can hear a bit of sound in his breathe,it means he is having cold !!!
so make sure,,what you are going to use and always ask your dr !
good luck and take care.

Just read ur query about blocked nose. My 2 month old baby had blocked nose and stuffed throat.
For clearing the blocked nose, you can give 'Nasoclear'.This is just saline water and can be given any number of times in a day.
If the nose block is really bad, then, you may have to give medicated nasal drops, like otrivin (pediatric),but, this , you will have to limit to 3 times a day.
In case he has stuffed throat, you could give him some steam ,which will relieve him ,also, help in removing the flem.

All the best.
