0-3 Months Infantile Colic The Effect of Ocean Sound on Babies

Infant colic is one of the most common health problems in newborns and infants. It is a syndrome of unknown cause, occurring in attacks, weakened by clenched fists, hardening of the abdomen, flatulence, pulling the legs to the abdomen, very difficult to stop and excessive crying. Various studies have been conducted on this subject and the incidence rates in healthy babies vary between 10-40%. Significant behavioral problems may arise in sleep, rest and feeding due to frequent and prolonged periods of arrest, which are considered to be the upper point of normal crying. In these mothers, symptoms such as helplessness, fatigue, insomnia, exhaustion, loss of life, feelings of inadequacy, anxiety and crying problems may occur. In these mothers, variability is also extended. While in the womb, the fetus is attuned to the sound of the blood in the mother's arteries and the rocking motion of her abdomen. During infancy, the uterus is constantly hearing sounds at a higher frequency than a vacuum cleaner and these sounds stimulate a calming reflex in the baby. Our aim in this study was to investigate the sound of the ocean in infants with infantile colic aged 0-3 months.
