Babies or infants sometimes go for a long period without bowel movements. This is a significant symptom of a colicky baby and constipated baby. What do you do when you discover that your child has some difficulty emptying his/her bowels?
Above all, how can you tell that a baby is constipated or colicky? In this article, we shall be looking at the best formula for colic and constipation.
Understanding Colic
Colic is a severe abdominal pain usually composed of air in the intestine associated with feeding difficulties. Colic sometimes arises due to constipation. Colic isn’t a diagnosis, instead is an observation. So technically, a colicky baby is not a sick baby. He/she instead is a healthy baby reacting to excruciating belly pain.
However, allergies and smoke can also trigger colic more or less. Knowing if a baby is colicky is simple, the baby starts to cry excessively consistently over a specific period.
