Comparison between swinging and playing of white noise among colicky babies: A paired randomised controlled trial

Abstract

Playing of white noise may be helpful for parents and healthcare personnel in reducing the gas pains of babies.

Annelerin İnfantil Kolik İçin Kullandıkları Uygulamalar ve Yararları Konusundaki Algıları

“…12 Previous studies reported the utilisation of pulling legs toward the abdomen 9,21,23 and positioning the baby. 22 Sezici and Yiğit 24 found that rocking babies reduced their duration of crying. In our study, 7% of the mothers used swaddling, and 38.9% of those who did so stated that it reduced the symptoms of colic.…”

“…Other studies also determined that getting a baby with colic to listen to white noise decreased durations of crying. 24,25 The study by Demirel et al 22 determined that mothers preferred getting the baby to listen to white noise and machine noises in similar rates with the purpose of reducing infantile colic. Moreover, McRury and Zolotor 27 found videotaped instruction of behavioural interventions (swaddling, face down or side position, playing white noise, giving a pacifier or breastfeeding) to be ineffective in reducing crying among new-borns.…”

Non-pharmacological approaches to infantile colic: white noise versus swinging

“…In this study, participants were recruited from three large public health centres in Kutahya, Turkey 1. Sixty-nine infants were randomised to either receive swinging for 1 week followed by white noise the following week, or the reverse.…”

Sound Impact on Health and Rehabilitation

“…Запись звуков дождя громкостью 40-50 дБ, соответствующих частотам белого шума, проигрывалась во время сна. У детей с коликами фоновое воспроизведение белого шума показало лучшие результаты, чем укачивание, в снижении длительности плача и увеличении длительности сна [17].…”
