How do I deal with a colic baby?
December 3, 2009 by admin
I feel so bad for my son, he has colic. And I knwo his little tummy hurts, he has gas bad. I give him gentle ease Enfamil formula and Mylicon gas drops. And I swaddle him and rock him to sleep with his pacifier. Oh and change his diaper. And sometimes that still isn’t enough. HELP!
I know EXACTLY how you feel. My son was the same way. Unfortunately the gentel ease wasn’t around until my newest daughter…which helped imensely with her. But with my son, I had to use the Alimentum, Mylecon drops and I had to do this little motion with him to force some air bubbles out of his little tummy.
What you do is:
1. Lay baby flat on back on floor legs facing you
2. Grab baby’s legs at ankels
3. Push babys legs together at knees and slowly motion upwards twords tummy.
4. When babys butt is up in the air a little, pull knees apart, and pull down to straight possition.
5. Repeat motion
It helped A LOT!!
