Colic

Sarah
Does anyone have any tips for dealing with colic? My daughter is almost 6 weeks old and for the past week between 4pm and 4am she has been really unsettled. She brings up wind and passes wind but I can hear it's trapped I have tried infacol and gripe water with no results and I'm absolutely shattered and so is she. Any tips would be greatly appreciated thanks X

I thought my baby had colic but it ended up being something I was eating that caused the extream fussing. But a warm bath helped calm him, also holding him close with his legs pulled up to his tummy and lightly bouncing. That's what worked for me before I was able to figure out what food in my diet was causing problems

Have you watched the happiest baby on the block video? If not you should. My baby has been colicky since 2 weeks old. I now use the methods in the video and it has been a lifesaver 😃

Gripe water has helped with my little girl.  I only give it to her if she doesn't burp or let toots out. Try doing leg exercises push her legs up gently and pull them down. Do that for 10-15 mins. If she doesn't pass gas then give her gripe water

Looking into it possibly being a dairy sensitivity (if you're day ins dairy and breast feeding). Cut out all dairy if you think that is what it might be. Happened to me.

Look into silent reflux, it's usually the culprit, not colic.

Burping often helps, so does belly massage (go clockwise, be gentle), and sometimes it helps my baby to sleep in a more upright position. More sitting up seems to help, as does bicycling his legs.

I had the same problem and I switched from the gripe water to colic calm and it works...he is doing good now...

I have a 1 month old boy and he has trouble passing gas and most likely colic too. Im giving him fennel tea, because mylicol was making him constipated. I prefer to go natural and so far is working. Good luck :)
