Three simple colic remedies

When your baby is crying in constant discomfort from colic there are a few things which really work to relieve colic symptoms and of the many colic remedies I have tried here are few that worked well. Firstly one good colic remedy is a gentle circular massage on your babies belly, this technique to help colic can be learned in the video on this website.

One of the good old colic remedies

Gripe water has been used to cure colic for many years. If you want to give gripe water a try then you should look for some that is either organic or at least has no artificial colors or flavors. One that I can vouch for is Colic Calm All Natural Gripe Water, it is FDA registered unlike some other formulas and its completely free of alcohol, sugar, gluten and animal products and 100% natural. You can order it on Amazon and the great thing is you can trust Amazon and you can choose 1 day shipping which really helps when you need relief for your baby!

Another movement technique found really gave my babies some relief from colic was what I called the back pedal. When you baby is on his or her back you gently lift up their legs and start to move them as if they were pedaling a bicycle, I found this seemed to help with the discomfort of colic and baby seemed to really like it and on several occasion this was all it took to stop the crying so definitely one of the colic remedies i would recommend.

There are a few more of these simple yet powerful colic remedies that I used and they are called the ‘Baby Bowen Technique’ The Bowen Technique is a very gentle, safe and simple therapy that is highly effective at easing discomfort in babies. Not only is it great for colic relief but also helps relieve symptoms and baby crying due to wind or gas, bloating, reflux, constipation, indigestion, hiccups amongst other thins, I highly recommend you check it out.

There are various treatments for colic in newborn babies and infants and I have tried many remedies, some of them worked well others didn’t really seem to help much with colic relief.

Click Here to see the Fastest Way To Cure your Babies Colic, treatments that worked for me.

Gripe water - this is basically a home remedy of old and it does help with colic as well as other stomach discomfort and also teething pain. Gripe Water works with infant colic because the herbs used in it have a calming effect on the digestive system. But doctors don’t know exactly what causes colic so their efforts with gas medication are a bit hit and miss, but many doctors will recommend gripe water.

Winding baby - if your baby has a lot of gas then make sure they are burped regularly. Also there are bottles designed to reduce the amount of air baby swallows while feeding.

Change Formula - if you bottle feed your baby you can try changing to a different formula, this sometimes helps. If you are breast feeding your baby you may want to try eliminating cows milk from your diet especially if your family is known to have a history of lactose intolerance.

Massage - giving baby tummy and back rubs was something I found helpful.

Taking a warm shower with baby can help because the warm water is very soothing.

When trying to get your collicky baby settled to sleep try some of the following:
Swaddle them ( snugle them up tightly in a blanket ).
Rocking or gently swinging baby in a cradle often helps to get them off to sleep.
Take baby out for a walk and get some fresh air or take them for a ride in the car.
Another thing that I found that settled the children was placing them close to the washing machine or tumble dryer ( the continuous noise and vibrations seem to help a lot ).

There are so many parents out there struggling with colicky babies and there are a lot of suggestions for how to cure it on the internet…..

But wich ones actualy work best and are any of them clinicaly proved?

some of the many symptoms you might see in your baby are:

crying for no apparent reason, restless sleep ( maybe your baby is only sleeping for an hour at a time), their face may become very red when crying, wind or gas, your child may be experiencing stomach bloating and cramps, you may notice your baby clinching their hands and arching their backs, and of course you yourself will probably be experiencing sleepless nights and fatigue and you and your baby are probably irritabal from lack of sleep.

Fortunately you are not alone and there are lots of colic remedies for you to try, some of them are suggestions from other mothers and parents who have found something worked for their baby to relieve colic and there are some clinicaly proven methods to reduce colic for your baby.
