I thought my son was just colicky but it turns out he had bad reflux. He was ebf and didn't have the typical signs - no spitting up, no pulling legs into tummy. He would just cry and cry for hours.…Continue

My Lo loves to be held....it stops her from crying and if holding her over my shoulders it allows her.to pass gas if she has too.

Comment by Molly & Me on January 22, 2013 at 1:14am: I'm a new mom and my baby is sometimes so fussy i cant figure out whats going on... how do you know if it is Colick or Gerd/Acid reflux or heaven knows what else? I'm going out of my mind... HELP!

Comment by Leslie on December 20, 2012 at 12:06pm: Hey, I'm Leslie. I've had not one, but two colicky babies! My first isn't a baby anymore and is mostly over the collic (thank The Lord. Lol). But now I have a new little girl and she's worse than what my son was. I have to keep her upright just to keep her asleep. It's exhausting.

Comment by jacks mommy <3 on March 31, 2012 at 1:57pm: I found that probiotics for kids work. I use cultrell and its safe to use at any age.

Comment by MNDsMommiee<3 on October 20, 2011 at 10:56pm: I am a mother to a colicky baby, he is 15 weeks old, born on July 14, 2011, the things I have heard that can help with colic are stirring the formula (if you use formula) in the bottle instead of shaking it, gripe water/gas drops are a charm. I love little tummys by little remedies, it works like a charm. Purified water is always a plus, my husband and I use a Brita tap water purifier, and looking for certain formulas to help colic and fussiness is always a plus, for an example, similac alimentum. He is still a tad bit colicky, but, we are finally on the verge of overcoming it!

Comment by bkmonroe89 on August 8, 2011 at 2:02pm: I have never heard of that but I will try it. Can you get it anywhere or just by a doctor.

Comment by Clarissa Hall on August 8, 2011 at 1:04pm: I am a pharmacist. My son started to present with colic-type symptoms and I started him on Probiotics (Biogaia infant drops). Probiotics are the only thing proven to help with colic. He started taking them at 4 weeks old and by 6 weeks was sleeping through the night and no more fussiness. He is a very happy baby. I have recommended it to several of my new mom patients and they have seen the same positive results.

Comment by bkmonroe89 on August 5, 2011 at 8:36pm: Hi, my son is 16 weeks and he has colic. I feel so bad for him since nothing really seems to help. I haven't been around a colicky baby and a lot of mommies don't know what to do to try to help. If you have any tips or questions just post. :)
