If such pains are painful for him, the child curves all over the body like a fish and bends, pulling its little legs straight to the stomach. You need to lean your child to yourself, having taken him in your arms first, so that he touches you with a tummy, this will warm him. Still it is possible to heat a diaper by an ordinary iron and densely to put to a tummy to warm it, then spasms should pass.
