While there seems to be no "cure" or cause for colic, the first step is to make sure that your baby does in fact have colic, rather than some other problem. What you make think is colic could be acid reflux, GERD, or even lack of a consistent schedule (causing baby to be overtired and irritable by the nights). Talk to your pediatrician about acid reflux and GERD symptoms (as they closely resemble those of colic). There are treatment options for acid reflux that may provide some relief. If that is not the case, it could be possible that baby would thrive on a more consistent routine of napping and feeding. If none of the above work, take heart...while the cause of colic is unknown, it often clears up on its own by 3 months age. In the meantime, try a vibrating bouncer, a baby carrier to keep baby close, running the vacuum cleaner, or even a car ride. If all else fails, remind yourself that baby WILL be OK and will not remember these trying times (only you will).
The major cause of baby colic is trapped gas in the digestive tract. Helping the baby release that gas can make a big difference in treating baby colic. One way is to learn baby massage or use homeopathic remedies.
