1 in 3 British mums admit that they are unaware of Infant Colic, a common medical condition affecting 1 in 5 newborns, which can cause excessive crying. This month Infacol and Cry-sis, the only parenting charity dedicated to supporting parents through excessive infant crying, have launched Infant Colic Awareness Month which strives to educate and support parents to ensure they can experience the joys of parenthood to the full.
Here are the colic signs and symptoms to look out for and you can enter my giveaway to win a 0-6mth White Company Sleeping Bag to help encourage a good nights sleep for baby and parents! 
New parents get an average of 4 hours sleep a night, and a baby who is crying excessively can be extremely stressful for mums and dads alike. Research carried out by Infacol has found that parents around the UK have come up with inventive ways to soothe their crying tot including singing humming, taking baby for a drive in the car or switching on the TV or radio for background noise. Interestingly, current affairs, documentaries and dramas are the most popular programmes used to help babies drift off.
Signs and symptoms of colic include: • Intense crying bouts • Crying in the late afternoon or evening that lasts several hours • The baby’s face is red and flushed when they cry • The baby clenches their fists, draws their knees up or arches their back while crying If you suspect your baby has colic always contact your healthcare provider for professional advice. Cry-sis runs a national telephone helpline on 08451 228 669 that is available to callers every day of the year between 9am and 10pm. Callers are referred to a trained volunteer member of Cry-sis who has personal experience of crying or sleep problems within their own family.

I never knew about colic until I had my first! It's such a horrible experiences especially if it's your first baby & have no idea what's going on! Gorgeous prize :) 3/10/2018 10:24:23 am
My first daughter had a little colic and used to cry a lot with it, we tried all sorts of techniques like the tiger in the tree but I can remember how stressful it could get if we were struggling to calm her down. 3/10/2018 10:44:00 am
Colic is hard going - quite a few pals use sleeping bags like this. It's very cute. 3/10/2018 07:15:18 pm
It is so hard when you are tired and emotional, and your baby is so upset by colic as well. You feel helpless. I love the sleeping bag! 3/10/2018 07:56:52 pm
Colic is awful isn’t it. It’s so hard knowing that your little one is uncomfortable and struggling with it. That sleeping bag is gorgeous! X

I want to win this as a present for a couple that have finally got pregnant after 10 years of trying with IVF which has been both grueling and very costly, It’s a little touch of luxury they deserve...and they so love White Company.

This spiritual caster known as Lord Krish is really great in helping you get your ex back and making your infertility cured. I am happy to be one of the people to publish about him on the internet as a trusted and reliable spell caster. I am Lorraine Davis from Michigan, USA. Problems began to happen in my marriage after the 4th year of marriage and my husband began to cheat and sleep with other women because I was infertile and was not able to bear him a child. I contacted Lord Krish after reading comments on google and YouTube about how he has been helping people and contacted his email: [email protected] to communicate with him and we spoke on Whats-App too. It's been more than a year now and I am happy to write about my encounter with him. Within 2 days of contact, my husband came home and apologized to me for his behavior and pleaded with me to forgive him. Before I knew it, I received the natural fertility herbal cure from the UPS which he sent to me and I became fertile. I conceived and gave birth to twin girls which made me very happy. As a result, my husband throughout my trimester periods, loved me even more. How grateful I am to be happy in my relationship. Contact Lord Krish through email at [email protected] if you are passing through any problem to help you and you will be glad you did Leave a Reply. |
