It was written by a pediatrician and deals specificially with soothing techniques for babies with colic. I can tell you that of all the baby books I read, this one was absolutely hands down the best and the most practical. Very simple soothing techniques and trust me, they worked. I highly recommend it. The other thing that worked really well for my infant was laying him on his back and gently bicycling his legs. It really helped move the gas. Best of luck.

Try swaddling. I really liked the techniques used in "happiest baby on the block." You can get the dvd on Amazon for less than $10. If you are nursing, try feeding your baby again from the side he ate from last to get the hind milk.

How old is she? My daughter did a 7-11 thing for about 3 weeks. We did what we could to soothe her. Gripe water, gas drops, hubs holding her tummy down on his forearm, etc. You may look into techniques used in the book "Happiest Baby on the Block" by Harvey Karp. The 5 S's are discussed. Its a great book. You can probably just Google it and get the info w/o having to buy the book.

Gas drops for sure & how old is your baby ? If your baby is only a few months and drinks formula it's normal for them not to poop for up to 4 days ..

Does anyone have any experience with coping with renal colic caused by stones and/or calcium deposits as I have both, and the pain is excrutiating at worst and extremely uncomfortable at best! I am considering alternative pain control ie. accupuncture, meditative techniques, anything other than pills, as I found that I can't function on them plus I live alone so it is so easy to overdose when on the really strong stuff. Any suggestions would be most appreciated. Thanks....

Some babies have a "freak out" period a few weeks after they're born when they're expanding the awareness of their body and their nervous system hasn't caught up yet....so they feel uncomfortable and irritable. It doesn't necessarily have to be colic....I believe that the classic symptoms for colic are if your baby cries for a period of time around the same time every single day and seems unsoothable....there are a few things you can try if you think it is colic though.

My 2 week old has colic. Its been pretty bad and just started a few days ago. Is gripe water a good option? Also she acts as if she doesn't get enough to eat and I was wondering about puttin a lil infant cereal in her bottle to help fill her up? Any suggestions would be great. I don't know if I can handle my sweet baby crying allllll the time like she has been. I took her to the dr today because she screamed for hoursss straight.

Thank you so much for that suggestion. I know they do some massage with her, maybe they need to do that more often. They are first time parents and I know that in itself can be stressful and anxious.

My baby is two weeks old and pretty fussy. I think she had colic do it's been pretty hard on us. Any suggestions on how to cope? This is my first baby and I'm not sure what to do in order to help her when she starts crying and being fussy.

If your baby is truly colic, you might also want to avoid caffeine, onions, cabbage, beans, broccoli and other gas-producing foods. Something you can try for burping her and getting out excess air is to do baby crunches. (We do this with Kylie when she can't) Hold her chest and support her head with one hand, and with the other hold her lower back. Then just gently rock her forward and then lean her back and try to get her as straight as you can.

my massage is coming through. My BF, the one I did the surprise baby shower for, just send me a thank you with a 60 min massage gift cert. inside!! Though she shouldn't have...I'm taking it!!!!
