Many new parents have found a calming effect through rather strange, yet effective, means of using ‘white noise’ such as from running a vacuum cleaner or washing machine in the background! You could also take the child for stroller or car rides to see if that helps.

Try what has been dubbed as the ‘gas hold’ by holding the baby over your arm.

If for whatever reason you are not able to breastfeed, which is very important, make sure the hole in your baby bottle is not to big. This could be allowing your baby to suck in too much air when being fed, contributing to painful gas.

Burp your baby as needed during feeding times to keep things balanced out vs building up. Make sure your baby does not overeat, take it slow to give them the nutrition they need without overdoing it.

Remember to use Gripe Water as an adjunct to all the above tips and you and your baby will get through this trying time of colic.

It can possibly be stopped by changing the child’s formula or the mommies diet depending on if you are formula or breastfeeding (the latter is highly recommended). It’s critical to take a look at the for food allergies. It’s also crucial to burp a child after they eat and even a couple times during feedings if necessary. Just putting the child’s belly down on your chest and rubbing their back may release excess gas that they could have taken in while feeding. This will relieve some of the pressure in their stomachs.

It could be swaddling them firmly in a blanket, or your infant may enjoy the comfort of being carried in a sling across their mum’s chest. This keeps them close and puts little stress on their bellies.
