Weekly Trip to the Library for Nannies and Au Pairs
This week on the Be the Best Nanny Newsletter blog we discussed colic. If the infant you care for seems to never stop crying we highly recommend reading Colic Solved by Dr. Bryan Vartabedian.
In his book Colic Solved pediatric gasroenterologist Dr. Bryan Vartabedian, describes why unexplained fussiness may often be caused by gastroesophageal reflux disease. Doctor Vartabedian explains that “colic” is an old-fashioned term to describe the behavior of uncomfortable babies. Colic is not a medical diagnosis anymore than “crying” is and fortunately the underlying cause of colic has been discovered so that it can also be treated.
In most cases, colic is caused by milk protein allergy or infant reflux. Dr. Vartabedian carefully explains how to tell the difference, and what to do about it.
He explains why claims not based on scientific evidence don’t work. For example, infant formula and baby bottles do not treat the root cause of the problem of colic.
Stop by next Saturday for another Weekly Trip to the Library for Nannies and Au Pairs.
