What causes colic? How is colic diagnosed? Can colic be prevented or avoided? Colic treatment Colic may be triggered by certain things. Everything you consume gets passed to your baby and can affect them. Avoid caffeine and chocolate, which act as stimulants. Avoid dairy products and nuts, in case your baby is allergic to them. Babies can be sensitive to certain proteins in formula. Try feeding your baby smaller meals but more often.
Avoid feeding your baby too much or too quickly. One bottle feeding should last about 20 minutes. If your baby eats faster, try using a nipple with a smaller hole.
This will slow down their feeding. Try warming the formula to body temperature. Try feeding your baby in an upright position. Holding your baby Babies who have colic can sometimes respond well to different ways of being held or rocked. Hold your baby across your arm or lap while you massage their back. Hold your baby upright, if they have gas. Hold your baby in the evening. Hold your baby while walking. Rock your baby in your arms or by using an infant swing.
Comforting your baby Try these movements and stimuli to sooth your baby. Provide extra skin-to-skin contact. Swaddle your baby. This mean wrapping them in a blanket.
Sing to your baby. Give your baby a warm not hot bath or put a warm towel on their stomach. Massage your baby. Ask your doctor for guidelines. Provide white noise, such as a fan, vacuum cleaner, washing machine, hair dryer, or dishwasher.
If your baby won't stop crying and nothing seems to help, you've come to the right place. This specially designed white noise sound soothes a colicky infant. After a few minutes, they will calm down and even fall asleep, giving both you and your child the rest you deserve.
By imitating the sound of the womb, providing a comfortable atmosphere and by blocking out distracting noises, your fussy baby will settle down fast. When playing one of our videos, if you cannot have a conversation over the sound without raising your voice, the sound may be too loud for your ears.
