Colic Relieve In Infants By Richard Bleuze Any parent whose baby has suffered from colic can tell you nothing is worse than seeing one's baby in pain and not being able to help take it away.
Finding the cure for colic quickly often becomes a top priority. There are many different colic remedies that I recommend. However,each baby is unique and may only respond to some or a combination of colic remedies. Thus, parents may have to use the old trial and error method to determine which cure provides the greatest amount of relief for their colic infant. If you have tried all proper feeding and burping techniques and baby is still crying,try the following list of the most effective remedies available:
#1 Music / Sound - Traditional lullabies, classical music composed for infants and heartbeat/womb CDs are very popular external remedies that relax many suffering from colic.
#2 Diet - Bottle fed with colic may show improvement if switched to a different formula, such as soy. The mothers of breastfed may have to pay close attention to their own diet to make sure that are not
having negative reactions to certain foods.
#3 Gripe Water - Be sure to check the ingredients before buying a gripe water. Since many claim to be natural, but include artificial ingredients and preservatives. Some gripe waters are not very helpful.
#4 Warm Aromatherapy Bath / Massage - Add a few drops of lavender to a warm bath and follow with the soothing touch of massage. Focus massage on the tummy area to relieve painful trapped gas.
#5 Swaddling - are often soothed when swaddled or held close to a parents chest and heartbeat since they are reminded of the comfort and safety of the womb.
#6 Motion - Walking, rocking and movement are very comforting to most infants with colic. Go for a walk with an infant chest carrier. This is good for the colic infant as well as you.
Try a combination of the above to see what helps soothe baby the best.
