Hi my son had colic for a couple mothing and constant Crying or Very sad

ing for atleast 3 hours per night. Here are some tips that might work for you...

* gas relief drops- ( such as little tummies or mylicon) these products help release gas and work great. I would suggest these to anyone. If you cant afford to buy gas drops, or if you are in a hurry or on a budget, I suggest peppermint. How this works is you fill a bottle full of warm water and put the peppermint in the bottle for about one minute and shake it...Then you take out the mint (the round red and white mints) and feed your baby the mint water. This will help relieve his tummy ache.

*tummy massage- massage his/her belly from bottom up and it may help him feel soothed or release gas.

*if you have a washer or dryer, put him on it, of course in a safe baby car seat and watch at all times. This may help him settle down or fall asleep.

* certain formula- certain formula can cause upset tummies, there are many (but expensive) new formulas just for sensitive tummies....

Please give me your feedback.....

I always took my son wrapped him up really good in a blanket and bounced him in my arms while walking around my house...It always put him to sleep and he always woke up without his tummie ache..

Dr. Brownes bottles did wonders for my son, they are special for colic babies.

Baby Colic....

I found what works really well for my son is hyland's colic tablets. They're homeopathic which means that they're natural and non-medicinal. I learned about the product when I went to the drugstore for some orajel. I found their teething tablets (which are also a lifesaver) and then I went online to research the product and ended up ordering the colic tablets. My son also likes to be patted on the back constantly better than anything else. I've tried rubbing his belly and back. But for some reason he'd rather me pat his back. Oh well, whatever works!

I tried everything, but I found shock therapy worked best. I summoned all of my energy and took my daughter for walks outside. The fresh air tired her out (and me!) but it worked

Colic bottles and gripe water work best for my son and he also likes being bounced up and down to put him to sleep aswell as its comfy for him when he has wind
