Why does the child arch?

How much parents want their babies to be all right: they do not hurt their teeth, they do not torment the colic. But, unfortunately, despite all the efforts, the baby's cry is still heard from the children's room.

Many parents complain that their child arches an arch, very often crying at the same time. What can such a strange behavior mean?

Consider the reasons why the child arches.

1. Colic . The child cries, arches and tilts the head. Such symptoms can accompany normal infant colic, which is very common for children between the ages of two weeks to four months. The crying of the child is very intense and time-consuming. Colic can last more than three hours in a row - pediatricians are well aware of this fact, so do not rush to sound the alarm. By four months everything must pass.

But while the child does not find peace, how can he help? First of all, create a quiet environment, take the child in his arms, press him to him, so that he feels the warmth of your body, turn off the bright light, sing a lullaby. Do not shout at the child, as this will not help him to calm down.

2. Incorrect feeding . When a child cries and arches when feeding, this can mean pampering (ate, but does not want to give up her beloved mother's breast), and also that during the feeding process something does not suit him (for example, milk is too much or it has an unusual taste ). In such a case, a short pumping before feeding, and also a mother's diet, from which all foods that are not suitable for the child should be eliminated must come to the rescue.

3. Nasal congestion . Bending can also be accompanied by heavy breathing of the baby, and characteristic "grunting" sounds. Check if his nose is blocked. If this is the case, flush the baby's nose with brine and wet the room.

4. Neurological problems . If the child strongly arches in a dream - it can be both his individual feature, and evidence of his hyperactivity, increased tone, increased intracranial pressure. Make sure that the child's day passes safely and in accordance with a certain regime. Loud sounds, screams, quarrels between parents, as well as non-observance of the regime of the day, can worsen his condition. In addition, to exclude neurological diseases, a child with these characteristics of behavior it is advisable to consult a neurologist.

5. Learns to turn over . Finally, if your child groans and bends, but is cheerful and cheerful, it is quite possible that he is so trained to roll over, learn new moves for him. A week or two will pass, and you will notice that instead of the already becoming accustomed arching, the child turns from back to tummy to reach his desired toy as quickly as possible.
