Patient's question:
The baby is 71 days old today. In the recent days, the baby has been crying without any reason, about once or twice a day. On the phone, I saw that babies within three months might have colic, and later rubbing their stomach would make it better. Is the crying due to abdominal pain caused by colic?Doctor's answer:
This could be caused by infant colic. It is recommended that parents pay attention to not overfeeding the baby and prevent the baby from swallowing air while drinking milk. After feeding, the baby should be held upright against the parent's shoulder to expel excess air from the stomach. Observe carefully for a period of time. If the symptoms do not improve, it is advisable to visit the pediatric department of the hospital for a follow-up. The above suggestions are for the question "Doctor, my baby is 71 days old today." I hope this helps. Wishing you good health!
