Question: What remedies are good for a cholicy 3 week old....HELP???
Answers:
First call your pediatrician and as what is best, it might not be colic at all and just gas built up they cant expell. Which then if it is that you might be told to give Simenticone drops. But dont go by whats offered here call your ped Doc ASAP. I know it seems nothing you try works but trust me as one parent to another your doing fine. We all have our tough spots this is one of yours.
What worked for me plus the drops was Room temp water with a tiny bit of sugar like half of an 1/8 tsp. And 1 drop of mint extract. Using a 4 oz bottle this will more then be enough. And yea the babys gonna have a minty fresh scent for a day and the diapers are gonna be minty too, but better that then super nasty..lol" I remember those days".
So go call your doc, listen to their advice, and if it still doesnt make sense call your mom or grandmother what worked for them on us, might also work on the baby. Good luckWww@Youqa@Cn
Heat, warm baths, burping after every oz of eating. Baby will grow out of it, in time.Www@Youqa@Cn
Baby yoga! Lay baby on their back and "march" their legs or rub their belly in a clockwise motion.
If all else fails fennel or gripe water are said to be effectiveWww@Youqa@Cn
Causes unknown. Colic may be related to physical pain or emotional upset. Some likely possibilities, Hunger, Insufficient sleep, milk that is too hot,, overfeeding,, food allergy, reaction to tension with a baby.Www@Youqa@Cn
Don't wait till your baby finishes a feeding to burp. Stop a few times for burps during the feeding.
Lay your baby on his tummy across your lap, and rub his back to soothe him.
With your baby laying on his back press his knees up towards his chest to encourage the passage of gas.
If it continues, and your baby is on formula, talk to your pediatrician because it may be that your baby is allergic to milk. Mine was and as soon as we changed to soy milk the colic stopped.Www@Youqa@Cn
Hyland's makes a great homeopathic colic formula for babies. It saved my nephew. They are tiny pills that dissolve immediately when they get wet, so they are safe. I have seen them for sale at Wal Mart or any health food section of a grocery store.Www@Youqa@Cn
