Can I please get some help, I think my son has COLIC?

Answer 1

Just went through the same thing with my son. First we switched to Nestle Soy milk. Then we used the Mylicon (use the walmart version, it's just as good and half the price for the same amount) after every feed. I also bought Gripe Water. This is a god send!!!! You can go to babysbliss.com and find a store that sells it near you. Lastly, we bought the Dr. Brown's bottles. Now his screaming has gone from 4 hours every night, to once or twice a week. He only cries for 15 minutes too!!!

Answer 2

Have your baby sit up in a bouncy seat, swing or car seat after they eat for about 30 minutes. Don't let the baby lay flat while eating. Get some Hyland's Colic tablets and see if these help. Every baby is different. Try to stay away from the soy furmulas if at all possible. Let your baby sleep in the bouncy seat, swing or car seat if they can't roll over yet.

Answer 3

HANG IN THERE. if it is colic (which my son had) the only thing that helped me personally was realizing that it was colic and we both had no control over it!!!!!! it is tough but he cannot help it. here are some things i did:
- walk with him around your house
- if he uses a pacifer then use it if not they try to use it (usally they will take it for a little while then spit it out) but always try it and keep trying it
- with him lying in your arms bounce him gently up and down not side to side.
- you can try gas drops like mylicon
- sing him a lulabye (might help you also)
- don't try the same thing continuously!!!! change it up somethings will work for a minute others for 3 or more minutes
- try to keep your stress level down. he will sense that causes him to cry more
- lastly CRY if you have to.....don't get angry with the baby he is not doing it on purpose!!! if you are alone and stressed to the point of anger at baby then put him in his crib or bassinet and walk away (inside the house) for a minute or two.......

IT PASSES YOU JUST HAVE TO HAVE LOTS AND LOTS OF LOVE AND COMPASSION.

Answer 4

My son had colic up to about 4 months and i switched his formulas 5 times and it never helped. he would cry at the same time every day !!! For me i had to tough it out , by rocking him and walking with him until finally 3 hours later he quit...

Answer 5

Definitley get help so you can rest. You can try swaddling and rocking. Hylands makes colic tablets (homeopathic meds), they are sold at drugstores. I have given them to my son on very few occasions after researching them, and they did seem to help. (although you may not feel comfortable giving your baby anything like that). I have also heard of gripe water and that it can help. Its so hard to have a crying baby and there seems to be nothing you can do. It does stop after about 3/ 4 months. Good luck!

Answer 6

A little more info would be nice but about the only thing I can tell you is GET HELP. It will help not only you but him also. Trust me I know from experince. My daughter was colic and would cry all night long and I would be up all night so my husband and his mom and I all took turns. We had shifts and it helped out because it just gets frustrating when they cry nonstop.

Answer 7

it will pass, my daughter had colic, and my grandma recomended green drops, which I had to take as a kid for everything, it did work but you can't buy green drops any more, I wrapped her tummy up tight and that seemed to help some, I would also give her a nice warm bath during her fussy part of the evening, good luck and have patience

Answer 8

There is no such thing as colic, just ask my sons gi doc, and his 15 hospital stays.
make sure you keep searching for an answer! it may be reflux or an allergy

Answer 9
