Try these interventions first: |
Change your baby's bottle or nipple. Feed them in a sitting-up position and burp them often. |
Carry your baby more during the day in your arms, a sling, or a front carrier |
Put your baby in their car seat, and put the car seat in a safe place near a dishwasher, clothes dryer, or other source of "white noise" |
Take your baby for a ride in the car |
Give your baby a pacifier |
Put your baby in a baby swing |
Massage your baby's belly |
Swaddle your baby |
Put a white noise or heartbeat machine near your baby |
Put a warm water bottle on your baby's belly (make sure the water is not too hot) |
Give your baby a warm bath |
If the above interventions do not work, you can try: |
Changing your baby's formula from cow's milk to predigested |
If you breastfeed, try avoiding certain food groups, such as dairy (milk-based), eggs, nuts, and wheat. To do this, stop eating 1 of these types of foods for 1 week, and see if your baby's colic improves. If it does, keep that type of food out of your diet. If the colic does not improve, you can restart that food and try stopping another one. |
