Picking the Right Colic Remedies
for Your Crying Baby
Every baby is different. Therefore it stands to reason that every case of baby colic is different. You have to experiment to find the right combination of colic remedies to calm your baby's crying.
- White Noise is particularly effective for comforting a crying baby. In the womb, the prominent sound your baby heard was the “whoosh” of blood flowing through the placenta. This “whoosh” is a little louder than the noise of a vacuum cleaner running. White Noise CDs and White Noise MP3 downloads are widely available on the internet in different soothing sounds. Vacuum Cleaner White Noise is similar to the sound frequency your baby heard constantly for 9 months.
- Gripe Water is a homeopathic colic remedy which has proven beneficial for calming symptoms associated with baby colic and baby gas pains. Gripe water brands, such as Colic Calm Gripe Water, contain natural ingredients such as chamomile, fennel, caraway, ginger, peppermint, lemon balm, aloe, and vegetable carbon.
- Motion is another effective method for easing crying from infant colic. Whether it be a baby swing, baby stroller, a ride in the car, or a walk in a baby sling, a colicky infant can be soothed by motion.
- Changing your baby's diet to an easily digested formula such as Carnation Good Start can reduce the gas associated with colic. In cases of breastfeeding, changing the mother's diet can produce relief as well.
- Swaddling a baby with baby colic reminds the baby of being back in the womb.
- Infant massage lessens tension, fussiness and irritability in your baby as well as aiding in digestion. The result is relief of gas and colic.
