Any colicky breastfed baby is in danger of being changed over to formula because the mother is wondering ‘why is my baby fussy?’ She’s beginning to suspect it might be her milk causing the 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.’
Formula isn’t a baby colic remedy and isn’t as good. It won’t help with calming a fussy baby. After 6 weeks of breastfeeding my colicky newborn I made this mistake myself years ago and I’d guess thousands of mothers do every day.
While you’re feeding baby yourself it’s ideal for effecting a simple and quick cure for all the fussiness. So continue to breastfeed and make sure you learn what you need to do now.
If a baby with colic is having formula help is still available.
Maybe not as quickly because the treatment has to be worked out, starting with small amounts of the missing nutrient and increasing as necessary.
I believe there is one cause and one effective cure. Hundreds of babies have been helped, all because the cause of their colic was the same and could be treated the same.
Folk ask about ‘baby colic causes and cures’, in the plural and I have to say this doesn’t seem to be true to me.
Unless it’s pure chance that hundreds of babies have all been cured using the same approach, supplying what was missing, and the next several hundred might not obtain the same complete relief. This seems highly unlikely.
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.
The babies have no trouble being cured, it’s often their parents who have the trouble…simply by being asked to believe it can be so easy!
God provided the means for mothers to offer their babies the ideal diet. Exactly what baby needs, at the correct temperature and no bottles to sterilise and prepare.
Perfect! Or it should be, so what goes wrong?
