Complaints

Estimated reading time:

In the first year of life, your baby goes through many developmental stages — and during this time, various discomforts may occur. Many of them are harmless, but they can still be stressful for both parents and child. Here you’ll learn about the typical issues that may appear in the first year and how you can help your baby.

Stomach pain and colic
  1. Causes: Immature digestive system, swallowed air, or intolerances.
  2. Helpful measures: Tummy massages, a warm cherry pit pillow, gentle rocking, or special drops for gas relief.
  3. When to see a doctor? Wenn das Baby stark schreit, nicht zunimmt oder der Bauch hart ist.
Teething
  1. Typical signs: Increased drooling, reddened gums, restlessness, occasional fever.
  2. Relief: Teething rings (chilled), gentle gum massage, special teething gels after consulting your pediatrician.
  3. When to see a doctor? In case of persistent high fever or extreme restlessness.
Colds and fever
  1. Symptoms: Runny nose, cough, elevated temperature.
  2. Home remedies: Plenty of fluids, elevated head while sleeping, nasal aspirator, and saline solution.
  3. When to see a doctor? If the fever rises above 39 °C, breathing difficulties occur, or the baby appears very weak.
Skin problems
  1. Newborn acne: Usually disappears on its own.
  2. Diaper rash: Regular diaper changes, breathable clothing, and healing creams help.
  3. When to see a doctor? In case of severe rash or open skin areas.
Sleep problems
  1. Causes: Growth spurts, teething, hunger, or sensory overload.
  2. Solution: Consistent sleep routines, calm environment, gentle bedtime ritual.
  3. When to see a doctor? If the baby consistently sleeps poorly and is very restless.
