![]() Views on Article - Coping with Colicky Babies Name: Param Country: Kuwait Comment: I am too having a four month old baby, she to keeps crying in the evening daily but I was unaware of the colic problem in chidren as my first son did not have it, she is my second one & now I;l consult with my doc. Thanks Name: Pallavi Country: India Comment: yeah. it is a real drain on your patience. My husband was a real help. he would take teh baby away from me and wlak with her for even an hour. our doctor advised us to get a bouncer that can rock the baby . it seems to be very useful but by the time we decided 2 get one, her colic period was over. Name: jp Country: India Comment: The author of this advice on colicky babies is heartless and stupid-babies cry because there is pain and that is the only way they can communicate their distress. To get ear plugs is a monsters way of dealing with your baby-new parents need to get a pediatricians help rather than advise parents in this uneducated fashion, which could so damage the child and its recovery. If a new parent has been upset and had 'scary' thoughts while their baby was colicky, you obviously were not ready or mature enough to be a parent. Seek help, please all of you, at least for the sake of your helpless and pain-ridden babies. Name: Jen Country: U.S.A. Comment: I read a book called "Happiest baby on the block" all about soothing a colicky baby. He says to swaddle the baby snugly, then make a gentle shhh sound while you hold the baby on her side and bounce her very gently. I have seen this work miracles, even with the most frustrated and desperate parents. Learn how to swaddle well, this step is crucial and might work all on it's own.

He required little or no burping and slept when he was supposed to! So it was no wonder I was excited to have another - wow what a difference he had colic and did not sleep in the first three months. Thank God for gripe water! I went on to have a girl who suffered slightly with it too. My babies are now 13,12,and 10 and I can still remember how different they were as newborns! Name: as Country: australia Comment: my youngest was born almost two years ago and he has not slept through yet, we have taken him to a professional place and stayed five nights to teach him how to sleep and they threw their arms up in the air and gave up on him. I have come to a conclusion if he is happy sleeping on the lounge then he can sleep there at least I can get some sleep. I think when it comes to things like this take the easy road and let them sleep where ever they want so you can actually sleep. It saved me he will hopefully understand that bed time means bedtime soon. Also I find laughing about it probably saved me. Name: Lisa Country: australia Comment: My second CHild was colicky, it was a horrid nightmare that i never want to go through again. SHe just cried and cried, it ended at about 3 months of age, both my husband and i both confessed later that we had very dark thoughts on our minds during that period. Shes now 4 and i pregnant with my 3rd child. .. i hope all goes well Name: Umesh Parag Parikh Country: india Comment: We had a colicky baby and we just couldn't cope with it. We were anxiously counting each day for the four months to end, which is when we were told that his crying would stop. Now he is six months and a happy bouncing baby who is so much fun to be with. We want to have three kids but I am SO SO scared of the first few months.
