do they really help with colic?

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Don't know sorry, ds wouldn't take one.

Probably in as they sucking gives comfort and helps prevent the crying which will make excess wind more likely .Doubt if its proven though

Not as a cure, but if its a comfort, try it. Colic is terrible. I had it with my first born. Lying on tummy over a covered hot water bottle helped him a little.

There were no Dr Browns bottles then, but if they are bottle fed, I would recommend these wholeheartedly.

When Dd had colic she found sucking helped comfort her and settle her. Therefore a dummy did help her, yes. Didn't cure it though. Just temporary reprieve for a bit.

Agree with LaylaandSethsmum, it prevents crying so prevents wind. Seems to make sense to me anyway.
