Newborns are very fragile and their immune system has not fully developed. Therefore, parents are particularly afraid of any abnormal situations in their babies, especially novice parents without parenting experience, who may feel at a loss. Recently, a novice parent asked why a baby in their teens always works hard?
Babies from birth to three months old are in the peak period of rapid growth and development, and the speed of skin cell division is very fast. Therefore, this kind of hard work is helpful for the growth and development of babies, which is a normal growth and development performance. Therefore, parents do not need to worry, as this phenomenon will gradually disappear as the baby's growth and development speed slows down.
A newborn baby always works hard, and at the same time, parents notice that the baby is accompanied by continuous crying, which can last for several hours. The face gradually turns red, the lips are pale, the hands and feet are cold, the hands are tightly held, and the abdomen is swollen and hard. It should be considered that the baby may have intestinal colic disease, which is an acute abdominal pain disease in children, often occurring in infants under 6 months old.
There are many causes of infantile colic, such as swallowing a large amount of air into the intestines while breastfeeding, excessive stomach expansion caused by overeating, and colic induced by milk allergy. When a baby experiences colic, they can be lifted upright and lightly patted on the back, or gently massaged on the baby's abdomen with their hands, which can help to expel excess air from the stomach and alleviate symptoms.
