The short answer? Just try to survive LOL
The long answer?
Try rolling the gas out of his belly... massage, rolling his legs, etc.
Hold him in the football hold and bounce a little while you walk.
Make sure you burp him often enough when he's eating.
If it gets overwhelming and you feel on the verge of a breakdown get someone to help you or put the baby in their crib or whatever and take a few breathers outside the room.
Good luck. It's hard, but it ends
ETA: How do you not let a colicky baby cry? Seriously. That's what colic is. Unconsolable crying...

I don't miss those days, my daughter is 4 months old and we survived that phase..barely but we did..lol. She loved (well not love it, they don't love anything during that phase) but seemed to help when we would hold her football style and walk outside. We had to do A LOT of walking. She hated the swing! hated the car...We took turns, I would have her for three hours then he would have her for a couple hours while i got out and then my mom would come and help. My daughter screamed everyday for 10 hours literally. You can rock them and swaddle them. My daughter also would calm down when she would lay on her tummy so I would just be on the floor with her while she laid on her tummy. Good luck and remember this will pass...
Congrats on the baby!

If your breastfeeding that can help, if not then put some infacol (if baby is under 3 months) or gripe water (if over 3 months) as directed in their milk. rub their belly in a clockwise position and give the baby a nice warm bath. other than cuddles aswell and continuing to wind the baby there isnt alot else you can do.

A warm tea of chamomile (if you aren't allergic to ragweed) works wonders. If you are allergic to ragweed it will only make matters worse. You can put a warm cloth on the babies tummy or run the vacuum. My DH used to take the kids for a drive (about 5 miles) until they fell asleep then lay the baby on its side. Good luck!

don't let them cry. hold them breastfeed them, love them, they can sense your insecurity.
my mom's first was colicky and others I know their first and only babies were, it's hard, I hope you have help, good luck.
