colic care

libbylincoln by libbylincoln Talking Back(October 2006) (rank 69th)

Ive tried boiled water, burping her for hours infants friends putting her on her tummy I dont know what to do aaah... she keeps me up all night and day (lucky im a stay at home mum) oh yeah shes 7 wks old.... The doctor doesn't give me ne useful

advice all he say is im doing everything right someone please help!?!??!

hi there my 10 year old son when he was a baby he was colic he cried every hour on the hour and when i would get him to sleep and put him down he would cry straight away.

there is a product called colic care its excellent it should only cost you about $10 at the most and it works wonders u can get it from a supermarket.

another thing that helped was a bottle with lemonade as the gas from it makes them burp.

if the baby isent settled byt her /his own then i would try to put them ona sting and carry them around but have them standing straight so when you walk around the stomach will bounce and it will help them burp.

re: colic

Another product you might want to try would be <a href="http://www.hylands.com/products/colic.php">Hyland's Colic Tablets</a> they're a natural homeopathic remedy and while I've not tried them I have used other Hyland's products (namely the teething tablets) and have been very very happy with them.

I guess I may be a bit over crazy about the nutrition/health aspects of parenting but I would not give lemonade to a baby. It has unneccessary sugar in it, it's quite acidic - which potentially could do more harm than good, causing more of an upset tummy and colic, it's not nutritious and would interfere with what they need to be eating and drinking, and it seems there are other remedies available. That's just my opinion, of course, and I know I'm a bit overprotective when it comes to these things, but it just doesn't sound like a good idea to me.

My SIL had this product for her daughter, as she had colic, and it does do the job. Great product

lemonade?
The bubbles help the gas, and if you brush their teeth or gums,should be ok. I don't think she'd give a full bottle.. :)
