Babies are the most precious little bundles of joy. However, when they are crying and you can’t figure out why, it can be frustrating. If you have checked to see if the baby needs a diaper change, is hungry or tired, and you still can’t seem to make the baby happy, baby colic is often responsible. While colic won’t cause any long-term harm, it can be very stressful as a parent not to be able to soothe your child. That is why it is very helpful to find baby colic relief for the baby and the parent! This post is brought to you by Wellements, makers of organic remedies and supplements trusted by parents everywhere.
Looking For Baby Colic Relief
If your healthy baby is experiencing lengthy bouts of uncontrollable crying, it may be due to colic. Here are a few symptoms of baby colic that you may recognize, according to Baby Center, “You may notice that your colicky baby clenches his fingers, arches his back, becomes flushed, and alternately extends or pulls up his legs and passes gas as he cries. He may sometimes feel better after passing gas or having a bowel movement.” There can be multiples causes of colic. If you think your baby may have colic, talk with the baby’s doctor about your baby’s crying (and any other symptoms) so they can rule out other potential causes such as teething or intestinal problems. The doctor may also be able to offer helpful tips for baby colic relief.
The best way to handle baby colic is to try to find a way to soothe your babies discomfort. Try a few different things to see what helps your baby since each baby is different. Some babies respond well to a gentle massage. A different position or swaddling may be helpful for baby colic relief. Some babies seem to be comforted by silence or darkness while others seem to prefer a steady noise like a fan.
Both of my children had mild baby colic and both were soothed in different ways. My daughter loved motion for baby colic relief. She loved to be held in an upright position or in a baby carrier and walked around the house into each room. She also loved to be held and brought outside and walked around. But she hated car motion. My son on the other hand, was a happy as could be, driving around in his car seat. I found that gripe water was effective for baby colic relief for both of my babies.
