I’ll use yesterday as an example. My baby who is almost 13 weeks (and breastfed) did not cry yesterday until 6pm. She goes from happy baby to crying until she turns red in the face all in a split second. Is this colic? The way she’s crying you would think that she’s in pain, but all of a sudden she stops, then starts again. Do colic babies cry like this? I’ve tried gripe water, does not help one bit. I will try Ovol after the next feeding (in about half hour).

No not this tea licorice tea would work best, but only a mild solution. never give newborns any thing with bergomot in it. Ginger would help if you have it in your cabinet, boil it for 3 minute and mix with an equal amount of water to weaken it then give it a teaspoon only. put a warm towel on its stomach and keep it warm, it helps and get it to burp more rub his back, don’t let him eat too fast that will cause colic, he’s swallowing too much air, when he eats. Call your doctor and get help from their office.

The paediatrician prescribed telament drops for my 6 weeks old child struggling with colic, but it seems to not work at all.
I’ve tried baby massages, walking and patting, etc sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t. I feel so bad for her because she kicks and screams from pain.
I am breastfeeding, i was told that it might be my diet? I was also told about gripe water. The doctor prescribed telament drops and this potent elixer stuff but it doesnt always seem effective. Im scared of using gripe water as it neutralises the stomach acid but ultimately prevents the stomach acid from doing its job of digesting the milk.
I try the massaging and the hot baths but it only works some of the time, so i feel like i’m exhausting my options

my baby is very colicky so dr put her on nutramigen lipil. how long does it take to work if it really does work? please tell me your experiances. my daughter was colicky since the day she was born she is now 1 month old.
I just recieved this type of gripe water. (all natural)When i gave it to my son he spit it up along with his bottle that he had just drank. There was milk everywhere. (did i use it wrong?) I asked my pediatrician about colic calm and she knew nothing. All she said was that its homeopathic and shes not familiar with that. I have a son that has colic..Ive never had to deal with this.. Ive put him on the washing machine and thats about the only thing that works. Along with the new formula(nutramigen) hes taking now. I just have trouble sleeping. He falls asleep in my arms and when i go to lay him down he wakes up 10 mins. later. Does anyone have any sugestions…. Im loosing a lot of sleep.. I get about 2-3 hrs a night. and with a 2 yr old, thats not good…I need to be alert for my 2yr old also… any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance..
