Pengalaman Handle Anak Colic (Baby Colic)

Assalamualaikum

Just wanna share my experience handling colicky baby. It was verrryyyy stressful indeed.

So, 1 month after birth, Dahlia (my daughter) tiba tiba nangis tak berhenti after feeding. Dia punya nangis tu macam sakit sangat sangat sambil tendang tendang kaki dia. She would cry dari pukul 1 pagi sampai lah subuh. And this happen everyday since then. Hari hari pukul 1 pagi , she will cry non stop macam kena dera sampai subuh. 

I pantang macam tak pantang. I cant sleep and I lose so much weight because of stress. I admit. I hampir hampir nak meroyan. Check semua benda, perut tak kembung, pampers bersih, tapi still menangis. Mula mula, ingatkan ada syaitan duduk kacau. So everynight, akan pasang Surah Jin, Yassin dan Ruqyah dari maghrib sampai lah ke Subuh. 

Tapi benda tu tetap berlaku. I have done so many researched on my own using Google of course trying to find the cause. So bila search berhari berhari, I stumble upon the word Colic. Google punya google tengok2 semua ciri ciri Colic semua ada dekat Dahlia. I was a bit relieved sebab dah tahu keberangkalian punca dia macam tu. 

So kita pergi consult doktor pakar kanak kanak dan Doctor pun diagnose Colic. Doctor kata there is no cure. Colic akan hilang sendiri bila baby makin membesar. I was soooo worried, yang colic tu lambat lagi nak baik. 

Ada orang lepas habis pantang je terus baby stop Colic, ada orang yang kurang bernasib baik, baby dia sampai umur 2 tahun pun ada Colic. Risau sangat sebab takut Dahlia kena colic masa pengasuh jaga. Risau pengasuh tak tahan dan buat bukan bukan. A lot is in my head and I just pray to Allah for the best. 

We also tried other ways to prevent Colic or to lessen the frequency;

a) Colic drop

b) Change her milk to Gentle ease Enfalac (easier to digest)

c) Tuam perut selalu

d) Make her hear white noise

e) Pacifier

f) Bagi minum Gripe Water

g) Tidur buai

h) Carry her upwards
i) always burpkan baby after feeding. Dont skip.
j) Urut perut baby sambil buat urutan I LOVE YOU

All of these steps, help her to sleep even better and ease her pain. Kalau nak tahu, bila baby kena Colic, perut baby akan cramp. Bayangkan betapa sakitnya dia. Poor Dahlia. Every time dia kena Colic, I always dukung dia secara menegak sampai lah dia tidur sendiri dan berhenti nangis for about 2-4 hours. Sambil dukung sambil selawat dan cakap " Mommy tahu Dahlia sakit, kesian dia. kalau lah Allah boleh pindahkan sakit tu dekat Mommy".

Dekat sini I will share the symptoms untuk baby Colic.
1. Menangis tak berhenti secara rutin ( ada masa dia) untuk beberapa jam lamanya.
2. Menangis sambil tendang tendang kaki ke perut dan genggam tangan kuat
3. Menangis usually after feeding
4. Menangis high pitch and there is nothing you can do about it, feeding/rocking would not help.

Sooo... makin lama I dah redha , makin bersabar, makin tahu cara nak handle. Masa ni you need all the support that you can get. It is really helpful if your partner helps taking care of the crying baby as well. Jaga sama sama. Gilir gilir. Dan Alhamdulillah. Ngam ngam I habis pantang, Colic Dahlia terus magically dissapeared. Alhamdulillah Allah had answered my prayers.

So for those of you yang experience the same thing.

Banyakkan bersabar
Berdoa
Usaha
