Hello Mama,
Here are some tips to relieve a colic baby:
You must consult a doctor first.
Remember that colic usually disappears at the age of 4 months.
Try one treatment at a time to see whether or not it calms your child.
There is no cure for colic, but there are some things that may help calm and comfort your baby, such as:
Put him on his back in a quiet, dark room.
Wrap the child in a blanket.
Place the baby on your lap, face down, and gently massage his back.
Massage the area around the navel very gently. You can also bend the baby's knees and raise them toward his stomach.
Place a warm (not hot!) Water bottle on the baby's tummy.
Medicines such as:
Simethicone
Probiotics can sometimes be used to help improve digestion and reduce the severity of colic.
