    About this ebook

    What if I told you that I would teach you how to identify the exact cause of your baby's crying?

     

    A baby is like a new life. It totally changes the previous rhythm. If the way there was already strenuous enough in nine months of pregnancy, the new earthly citizen can bring not only joy. Sometimes inexperienced young parents despair of it. They are suddenly faced with problems and difficult demands that they had never met in their previous lives. For nights on end, they beat themselves around the ears because their "bundle of joy" screams and cries. They do everything to keep their child quiet - but in vain. And the young parents quickly believe that something is wrong with their baby. They are worried whether the baby might be seriously ill. And then they are faced with a mystery when the doctor has examined the "screamer" and could not find anything wrong. "Do not worry. It's all right. Your baby may have gas," you will hear. And what do the parents do with that?
    One figure is quite interesting in this context: In Germany, thirty percent of children are born with a Caesarean section. One may discuss the reasons. Many people think that this is planned between Monday and Friday in the daily routine of hospitals. On weekends, people do not like to give birth to a baby. Well, that is one consideration.
    And gynaecologists report from their practice that most cry babies are born with problems: sucking, breech presentation, multiple births, breech presentation, caesarean section, forceps delivery, long birth process and so on. All these represent traumas for the newborns. But not every problem birth develops afterwards into a screamer.
    Nobody helps them to cope with the phenomenon of the cry baby. Thirty percent of newborns cry out irrepressibly, some of them from day one. Paediatricians have little time and may give you one or two well-intentioned tips on how to calm your baby down. But few people realise that the cause of the crying has to be found out first. The spontaneous indication of flatulence is only one of many possibilities. But what if something else is torturing the baby?
    Adults are easy to examine: The physician palpates the stomach, uses ultrasound to take a closer look at individual organs and, above all, asks the patient Apart from the fact that pediatricians hardly have such possibilities, they can't question the little screamer either. In their distress, parents often reach into a big bag of tricks of treatment options: They swing and change diapers, caress and hum songs, give tea or bathe the baby - and all of this does not help. What now?
    This eBook gives young parents now a purposeful assistance to the hand to find out the causes for screaming first of all and then to undertake against it purposefully something in gentle form. Because screaming for weeks or even months can be quite annoying and bring them to the edge of their own exhaustion and despair.

      How to Soothe a Crying Baby - Patricia Ampuero

      At what point is an infant a cry baby?

      For the definition of a crying baby there is a so-called scientifically found rule of threes: A baby must cry for three weeks on at least three days a week for three hours. In addition, there are crying attacks that cannot be controlled or stopped: Nothing really helps, and the baby cries out continuously, can't get himself together and chokes on the way, and becomes crimson in the face from screaming. All your efforts are useless. Your child just keeps on crying - for no reason at all.

      From this point on, the stressed parents have a real screamer. However, very few of them know that crying is part of a baby's normal everyday life for the first time. Because how else should it be articulated when the nappies are full, they are hungry or they have a burp across them. Sometimes they simply seek the attention of their mother, physical warmth and a cuddle. They lie in their little bed all the time, while we adults are busy with all kinds of things. Or doing something, walking upright, cooking or relaxing in the bathtub.

      Ultimately, some doctors also judge excessive crying medically as a disease value - depending on the subjectively experienced strain on the baby and parents. Afterwards, an appropriate therapy is taken.

      Modern medicine, however, is far from defining the cry baby as a disease nowadays. Most people now talk about cry-babies as a relationship problem between child and parents (with the medical classification as an adaptation disorder: F 43.2 in the internationally binding medical classification system ICD-10).

      You have to imagine it vividly: Young parents having their first child. They often don't know how to deal with it, do some things wrong and are simply overwhelmed at first. At some point, they also get annoyed and this is transferred to the child. The little worm notices this - and yells at it. Then an agonizing cycle starts. The child screams, chokes, pumps air into its belly and gets flatulence on top of it. Coupled with perhaps the wrong diet, this leads to an intensifying negative cycle. It does not always have to be like this. But the vast majority of medical studies and observations strongly suggest that this is the way to go. In this respect, the concept of three-month colic should be viewed with caution, because completely different observations were made in the wake of the studies started in 1954. Some doctors even speak of the three-month colic as a misinterpretation. Even today, it cannot be found in the internationally valid medical ICD classification, according to which all clinical pictures are to be sorted. Sometimes it may still be valid today. But the causes of crying babies are more complex. Each case must be examined and treated
