If a baby has colic, they will not continuously want to nurse.

This is because colic often occurs due to intestinal gas or unexpelled intestinal secretions, causing irritable spasms of the stomach and intestines. In this case, nursing might actually worsen the symptoms of abdominal pain. Therefore, the baby often exhibits inexplicable crying and appears to be in severe pain, with symptoms including curled legs, occasional abdominal distension, and abdominal tympany upon percussion. At this time, the baby may refuse to eat.

Therefore, when colic occurs, we can alleviate it through abdominal massage and by performing gas-relieving exercises. Since colic is a clinical manifestation of digestive dysfunction, it is advisable in daily life to supplement with probiotics, and to provide abdominal massages and dietary adjustments, including eating light, liquid, and easily digestible foods, to help relieve colic.
