BABY HAR KOLIKK
Skriker babyen din mye om dagen? Når en baby skriker i mer enn tre timer i strekk med minimum tre ganger i uken i mer enn tre uker på rad, sies en baby å ha kolikk.
Kolikk er vanlig og årsaken er fortsatt ukjent. Kolikk starter vanligvis innen den første måneden og slutter vanligvis når babyen er omtrent tre måneder gammel. Med noen babyer fortsetter det imidlertid til babyen er omtrent seks måneder gammel.
Hva du kan gjøre
– Gå til en soneterapeut som spesialiserer seg på babyer. De kan ofte hjelpe hvis babyen er forstoppet.
– Gå til kiropraktor/osteopat spesialisert på babyer. De kan sjekke om det er noen form for forvrengninger fra fødselen som får babyen din til å gråte.
– Meierifritt kosthold. Over 40 % av babyer med kolikk er overfølsomme for kumelk. Ja, 40%! Så hvis du ammer, unngå meieriprodukter i tre uker og se om det hjelper. Hvis det gjør det, husk å få i deg nok kalsium via f.eks mandler eller vitamintilskudd.
– Endre formelen hvis babyen din får flaskemat. På apoteket finnes det spesielle blandinger med hydrolysert morsmelkerstatning som er lettere å fordøye for babyens mage.
– Hjelp babyens mage med probiotika. Mange tror det er en sammenheng mellom kolikk og mageproblemer. Probiotika er sunne mikrobakterier som er helt naturlige og bra for tarmsystemet.
– Gå til en soneterapeut som spesialiserer seg på babyer. De kan ofte sette ganger i magen.
– Gå til kiropraktor/osteopat spesialisert på babyer. De kan sjekke om det er låsninger eller forvrengninger fra fødselen som kan forsterke babyens gråt.
– Meierifritt kosthold. Over 40 % av babyer med kolikk er overfølsomme for kumelk. Ja 40%! Så hvis du ammer, unngå meieriprodukter i 3 uker og se om det hjelper. Hvis det gjør det, husk å få i deg nok Kalsium via f.eks mandler eller gode vitaminpiller.
– Endre formelen hvis babyen din får flaskemat. På apoteket finnes det spesielle blandinger med hydrolysert morsmelkerstatning som er lettere å fordøye for babyens mage.
– Hjelp babyens mage med probiotika.
Mange tror det er en sammenheng mellom kolikk og mageproblemer. Probiotika er sunne mikrobakterier som er helt naturlige og bra for tarmsystemet.
Du kan for eksempel bruke Toddler's Probiotic av Udo's Choice, sammen med Panda DS. Bruk gjerne begge deler, da det gir flere ulike «tråder» av sunne bakterier og dermed mer mangfold i tarmfloraen.
Gjør slik: løs opp 1 ts i kokt, avkjølt vann før leggetid og løs opp 1 ts i kokt, avkjølt vann om morgenen. Du kan injisere det i babyens munn med en engangssprøyte (fås på apotek).
- Skaff en svøpe eller bæresele - slik at babyen har trygghet og kroppskontakt, som roer babyens nervesystem.
– Skaff deg ørepropper så du ikke mister forstanden.
– Få en pilatesball å sitte og hoppe på med babyen din. Opp-og-ned-bevegelsen gir trygghet og avlaster bena. Husk å kjøpe en stor pilatesball slik at den ikke skader knærne (omtrent 65 cm).
FORstoppelse hos babyer
Mange babyer opplever forstoppelse, spesielt når de begynner å spise grøt. Det er forskjellig i hvor ofte en baby passerer en avføring. En baby sies å være forstoppet når babyen klemmer og ingenting kommer ut, og når den tydelig har vondt i magen og gråter når den fiser.
Datteren vår har slitt med forstoppelse siden hun var spedbarn. Det har påvirket hennes velvære og søvn og forårsaket mye uro for henne. Heldigvis kan vi nå se at magen hennes fungerer igjen.
Probiotika vs. Movicol
Vi har brukt Movicol lenge og var skikkelig lei av å bruke «medisin». Etter mye forskning fant jeg en mirakelkur. En spesiell probiotisk stamme kalt L. Plantarum. Litt nerdete – men viktig.
Vi kjøper dette: Jarrow Formulas, Ideal Bowel Support, 299v, 30 Veggie Caps på Iherb.com.
Mye bevegelse
Tumle med babyen din, bær babyen liggende på armen på magen, la babyen sitte i svøpet med deg, sykle med babyens ben, snu babyen opp ned.
Kort sagt: stimuler bevegelsen – så får du også i gang tarmen.
LAKTOSEINTOLERANSE
Jeg har hørt fra ganske mange mennesker at babyene deres har blitt mye roligere og sover bedre når de har begrenset mengden meieriprodukter. Går du til legen kan du via blodprøve finne ut om babyen har en sikker melkeallergi. De færreste har det, men ganske mange – og kanskje flere enn forventet – har problemer med å fordøye melkesukker (laktose) i tarmen. Dette kalles laktoseintoleranse eller laktosemalabsorpsjon. Laktoseintoleranse gir ubehag i form av diaré, magesmerter og flatulens.
Mitt beste råd er å endre formelen hvis babyen din får flaske. På apoteket finnes det spesielle blandinger med hydrolysert morsmelkerstatning som er lettere å fordøye for babyens mage. Hvis du ammer, dropp inntaket av meieriprodukter i minimum 30 dager og vent og evaluer resultatet. Du kan ta et kalsiumtilskudd i stedet, slik at du og babyen får i deg nok kalsium.
(STILLE) REFLUKS HOS BABYER
Refluks oppstår når maten beveger seg opp fra magesekken, passerer gjennom spiserøret inn i munnen og tvinger babyen til å spytte den ut. Det er helt normalt for babyer å svelge litt mat, men noen babyer svelger for mye som plager dem. Problemene oppstår fordi magesyren, som skal fordøye maten, tærer på spiserøret som gjør vondt. Lukkemekanismen som skal holde mageinnholdet i magen fungerer ikke som den skal. Ved stille refluks kommer ikke oppstøtene ut av/opp i barnets munn, men blir værende i spiserøret. Silent reflux er vanskelig å diagnostisere fordi det ikke er synlig, derav navnet "silent reflux".
Hvis babyen din har flere eller alle symptomene, kontakt legen umiddelbart. Heldigvis finnes det effektiv og rask behandling for å lindre refluks.
Symptomer på refluks
* Smerter ved amming.
* Smerter ved raping
* Ubehag ved liggende, som fører til at babyen våkner skrikende og må rape.
* Nekter å spise.
* Overspising for å lindre sure oppstøt.
* Dårlig søvn.
* Burping mens du hoster
* Heshet etter svelging.
* Søvnapné (pustestopp under søvn).
* Heislyder fra halsen som svelger mange ganger.
* Urolig baby under søvn, hoster og klør seg på nesen.
Lindre babyens refluks
Bortsett fra tipsene nevnt ovenfor, kan du også gjøre følgende:
– Spisestilling. Mat babyen mens den står oppreist. Hold hodet høyere enn magen i minst 30 minutter etter mating av babyen.
– Bruk smokk , da smokkbevegelser kan bidra til å holde maten/syren nede, da barnet slapper bedre av i musklene.
- Når babyen sover , sørg for at babyen ligger på skrå med hodet høyest. Baby må ligge ganske skrått! Du kan stable tykke bøker under babyens seng eller la babyen sove på en kilepute.
HAR BABYEN DIN VÆSKE I ØRENE?
Hvis babyen din har søvnproblemer og våkner gråtende mange ganger i løpet av natten eller gråter når den legges ned, avtal en time med ørelege (ØNH). Du trenger ikke henvisning, du velger selv klinikk og bestiller time. En privatpraktiserende lege har vanligvis IKKE instrumentene for å sjekke væske på ørene. NB: Babyen trenger ikke ta på ørene når den har væske i ørene.
Let customers speak for us
Wir haben den Schlafsack mit und ohne Beine und jetzt zuletzt auch die Weste gekauft.
Den Schlafsack haben wir gekauft, weil unser Baby damals immer schon um fünf Uhr morgens wach wurde, und nicht mehr weiter schlafen wollte. Nachdem sie mit dem Schlafsack geschlafen hatte, hat sie bis sieben Uhr morgens geschlafen und das einmal nachts Stillen hat sie auch aufgegeben und durchgeschlafen!!!
Seit her verwenden wir die Schlafsäcke vor allem wegen des frühen Aufwachens! Wir haben Phasen wo wir ihn nicht brauchen und Phasen, wo sie wieder damit schläft!
Einfach Top diese Schlafsäcke!
Für den Sommer schön dünn vom Stoff!
Im Winter haben wir in den Babyzeiten einen Wintersack drüber gezogen!
Und jetzt schläft sie einfach mit Decke drüber.
Vielen Dank für diese tollen Produkte.
Wir nennen unseren Schlafsack Schildkröte, weil es aussieht, als hätte sie einen Krötenpanzer an.
Ausprobieren und lieben!!!
Made it possible to put the baby down in the baby nest! Before baby could just sleep on me.
We had extreme problems with our 3rd child's sleep. After 3 months, we were at our wit's end and tried just about everything. He never slept for more than 45 minutes at a time and not by himself. It improved with the weighted sleeping swaddle. Now he is 5 months old and sleeps well for several hours.
Our daughter is 17 months old and she has a regular wake-up schedule around 9 PM, 11 PM, 2 AM, 4 AM, and 5:30 AM, usually staying awake between 5:30 AM and 6:30 AM.
She frequently wakes up during the night, feeling upset, tossing and turning, and wanting to breastfeed. She gets upset if she doesn't get to breastfeed and prefers to sleep on us while we have to stand up and rock her back to sleep. She usually sleeps in my bed.
Nights have been challenging, and we were getting desperate. However, last night was our first experience with the weighted sleeping bag... 😱 😱
She woke up around 12 AM for the first time, climbed on me, and quickly fell back asleep. She woke up a few times after that but managed to soothe herself back to sleep. At 5 AM, I had to stand up and rock her, but she quickly fell back asleep. At 6:10 AM, there was a joyful wake-up call from our 1.5-year-old. She slept much more soundly and peacefully, and she managed to fall back asleep on her own, which she had never done before.
We noticed a significant improvement just on the first night. In fact, I don't feel utterly exhausted this morning and don't have that pressing need to take a nap during the day, which I usually do. I'm feeling enthusiastic about the upcoming nights and hoping to get a full night's sleep without interruptions, so I can regain some normalcy in my life. I can't imagine what we would have done if we hadn't found this weighted sleeping bag.
I just want to say... thank you!! ❤
About 4 months ago, we entered a nightmare period. Our little boy, who had been sleeping through the night and was generally happy, suddenly started waking up multiple times during the night, inconsolable. Initially, we attributed it to a cold, but even after he recovered, the night disturbances continued. About 2 months later, he was diagnosed with asthma, which seemed like a valid reason for his nighttime awakenings. However, despite responding well to asthma medication and having no issues during the daytime, the nights remained a pure ordeal. He would wake up incredibly anxious and screaming, and we often found ourselves staying up for hours trying to soothe him back to sleep. We tried everything and came across something called 'Night Terrors,' which seemed to describe his symptoms perfectly – an anxious nightmare from which he couldn't wake up, likely triggered by his illness.
I am a trained occupational therapist, and I understand the importance of sensory stimuli for many individuals. So, we began researching products related to weighted blankets/bags. That's when we discovered this sleeping bag.
We received it a week ago, and now, he puts it on when he has his nighttime bottle, creating a positive association. And I must say, it's been a tremendous success. He has slept for a full 11 hours every night for the past 7 nights. Our boy is now extremely happy and well-rested, and so are his parents
Our son used to wake up in the middle of the night and struggle to fall back asleep, sometimes staying awake for 2-3 hours. When we read a lot about weighted pajamas, we decided to give them a try. We noticed results almost immediately. He started falling asleep faster and sleeping more peacefully. Instead of having 2-4 wakeful nights a week, it reduced to just one. Now that he has moved in with his big sister, he sleeps through the entire night, and we still use the weighted pajamas because we're afraid to try without them.
We purchased the Baby Deepsleep for our son a couple of months ago. It worked very well in terms of his daytime naps, but it was challenging to determine if it helped at night since our son continued to wake up as frequently as before. Nevertheless, it's a nice product, and I can certainly recommend it to everyone I know to give it a try
When my daughter turned 4 months old, her sleep gradually started to deteriorate. By the time she was 7-8 months old, it had become so bad that going to bed seemed pointless. She would wake up crying 1-2 times every hour throughout the night, and sometimes even more frequently during the early hours of the night. It was absolute torture.
I was aware of weighted swaddle but had hesitated due to the price. However, after trying everything else without success, it was our last option. We've used it for the past 4 nights, and the results have been remarkable. For the first 2 nights, she slept for 7-8 hours straight, and for the last 2 nights, she slept for a whopping 10 hours (!!) before waking up for a bottle. It's been incredible, and it has truly been my salvation. I should have bought it several months ago. I can't recommend a weighted bag enough!
Our girl had colic for the first 2 months, and all her sleep was on us parents... 🤯 We couldn't get her to sleep on her own under any circumstances. The first few nights with the weighted swaddle were a bit challenging as it didn't wrap as tightly as she was used to. But then, something miraculous happened! We woke up one morning and were utterly amazed because she had slept for 11 hours straight. Initially, we thought it might be a one-time occurrence, but to our delight, she has been doing the same thing every night since! 🤩 It's been a month now, and we use the weighted swaddle every time she needs to sleep, whether it's in the sling, the stroller, or the crib. We're even considering getting an extra one because we can't do without it when it's being washed. 😅🙈 The weighted swaddle has truly been invaluable to us, and we wholeheartedly recommend it!
Highly recommended if you have a child who refuses to sleep. My daughter, who was then 5 months old, simply wouldn't sleep. But once she got the weighted sleeping swaddle, she started sleeping right away. I could even stop using the stroller, and she would continue sleeping.
She went from only sleeping for 20 minutes while being held to using the weighted sleeping swaddle, and on the first day, she slept for 40 minutes in her stroller. The naps only got longer from there. Now, she's a happy and well-rested child! 🤩😍
We purchased a weighted bag for our 13-month-old daughter, who hasn't had significant sleep issues. She used to wake up 3 times at night for breastfeeding. After using the weighted bag for 14 days, we've seen a noticeable improvement. She has at least halved the number of awakenings where she needs assistance to fall back asleep 🤪.
We also immediately noticed a slower respiratory rate, with deeper breaths.
We're very pleased with the customer service and the fast delivery to Norway.
Our baby becomes noticeably calmer as soon as we put on the sleeping bag.
I was recommended one for babies aged 8 months and older, with a minimum weight of 10 kg. However, it turned out to be too big for our child, so I am selling mine to buy a smaller one.
It does No magic, but it helped my Little one to sleep deeper and is a Great help. Still our Baby wakes up several times a night but now it finds into sleep faster and easier.
Our son has been using the weighted bag with great success (!) since he was 13 months old. We regret not investing in one earlier because we've always had challenges with his sleep. When he turned 18-19 months, he had outgrown the first one, and we considered whether we should buy the next size called "Weighted Sleep Suit" I was skeptical because it leaves the feet free, and I was worried it might cause restlessness at bedtime. We called your company and received excellent and helpful guidance, which made us confident in purchasing the larger size.
Now, we've been using it for a few months, and it continues to work wonders for our son's sleep. We are still very satisfied customers! In the first few nights with the larger size, he seemed a bit more restless in his legs and feet than we were used to, so we used socks, which helped. But now, socks are no longer necessary, and he absolutely loves his suit.
It's a brilliant product that has greatly improved both our son's ability to fall asleep and his sleep quality. Even during the awakenings he used to struggle with when we first started using it around 13 months, we noticed that the suit seemed to calm him down as soon as we put him in it. He became more relaxed and settled.
I highly recommend the weighted bag or "Weighted Sleep Suit" to families with young children experiencing sleep difficulties. It's such a simple way to improve sleep! Thank you for your consistently excellent service
Milas is a sensitive baby and has always had a hard time falling asleep without being held, rocked, or close to me. It used to take between 1-2 hours to get him to sleep. He just didn't want to settle down, and his arms and legs would swing around. We couldn't believe it was true on the first night when we tried the weighted bag. His body became completely calm, and he fell asleep without any assistance within 10 minutes. It's been like that ever since. We are immensely grateful and highly recommend it to everyone. We've regained our evenings and have so much more peace. A fantastic invention!
