Colic

[Clarashan]

Not sure where to post this one but wondering if anyone had any tips on how to deal with colic in a newborn? Thanks

I sympathise with you, mine had colic. It lasted three months precisely. I was given some medicine, Merbentyl I think (long time ago), which took the edge off but didn't cure. It's horrible, mine is grown up now but when I think how he suffered as a baby I still feel close to tears. It's wearing on parents too. However I was told it would go at three months and it did.

Silly (hopeful) question was it every night for 3 months?

Infacol is very good, use it before every feed. Hope your LO gets better soon xx

Warm baths, plenty skin to skin and cuddles, lots of time in the sling. Making sure he was well burped. Swaddled when asleep at night. White noise. Lots of people have success with infacol, dentinox and colief drops. Anti colic bottles if you are bottle feeding.

It’s bloody hard- it’s one of these things no one really warns you about. Even these days I still kind of feel robbed of the first 11 weeks as they were so stressful. However, he literally changed in one week and it was gone.
