What remedies are good for a cholicy 3 week old.HELP?
Answer: First call your pediatrician and as what is best, it might not be colic at all and lately gas built up they cant expell. Which then if it is that you might be told to give Simenticone drops. But dont jump by whats offered here call your ped Doc ASAP. I know it seems nil 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 be Room temp water with a tiny bit of sugar approaching half of an 1/8 tsp. And 1 drop of mint extract. Using a 4 oz bottle this will more then be adequate. And yea the babys gonna have a minty fresh scent for a day and the diapers are gonna be minty too, but better that next super nasty..lol" I remember those days".
So go call for your doc, listen to their advice, and if it still doesnt make sense call upon your mom or grandmother what worked for them on us, might also work on the baby. Good luck.
Don't wait till your babe finishes a feeding to burp. Stop a few times for burps during the feeding.
Lay your newborn on his tummy across your lap, and rub his back to soothe him.
With your tot laying on his back press his knees up towards his chest to buoy the passage of gas.
If it continues, and your baby is on formula, settle 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..
Hyland's make a great homeopathic colic formula for babies. It saved my nephew. They are tiny pills that dissolve immediately when they bring back wet, so they are safe. I hold seen them for sale at Wal Mart or any strength food section of a grocery store. Causes unknown. Colic may be related to physical pain or electric upset. Some likely possibilities, Hunger, Insufficient sleep, milk that is too hot,, overfeeding,, food allergy, impulse to tension with a kid..
Baby yoga! Lay baby on their back and "march" their legs or rub their belly within a clockwise motion.
If all else fails fennel or gripe wet are said to be effective Heat, warm baths, burping after every oz of ingestion. Baby will grow out of it, in time.
