For Crying Out Loud: Helpful Colic Management Tips for Parents

5/6/2018

1 Comment

 
The debate on the existence of the condition known as "colic" means nothing to the desperate parent seeking to softly soothe or simply calm down a screaming newborn or infant. 

Beyond the sheer discomfort to the baby and disruption to the family, it can become a 24/7 terror, especially for new parents. See the article Postpartum Depression & Colic - Risk Factors, Warning Signs by Shoshana Bennett, Ph.D., or My Baby Cried More Than Yours and Noone Knows Why, by Elizabeth Preston.

While reflux ruled the world of my second child for nearly two years, with my first I experienced incessant crying, colicky symptoms, and intense fussiness, for at least the first two months. If I didn't go through it myself I might find myself seeing the side of the doubters, but it was a level of crying and discomfort that I really couldn't explain, fix, or wish away; we just had to get through it. 

That all said, I didn't document this time of my life or how I coped (and frankly blacked out most of it). Fortunately I was recently connected with a very helpful management guide - and extremely accurate title -  for parents: How To Soothe Your Colicky Baby Without Losing Your Mind via MomsLoveBest.com and author Jenny Silverstone.

Babies magic tea is the best gift I received since having a baby! Whether your baby is colic, has reflux, or just won't settle down at night, THIS IS THE GOLDEN TICKET. It worked immediately for my daughter. It's a staple at our house.

    Yea, I went there. Nearly half of all babies spit up, regularly. Some more, some less, and for many it's just plain scary.

    I'm an overly concerned mom with an overworked washing machine. Learn more about me.
