A warm bath with a little lavender can be a great way to relieve colic. Try to keep it at around 38°C.
Warm your hands and rub a little baby oil clockwise onto your baby’s tummy to soothe their discomfort.
Keep moving to help distract them and relieve colic. Go for a walk, take a drive or just rock them back and forth.
Colic doesn’t cause any short-term or long-term problems for your baby. But colic can be difficult for parents. It can be hard to care for babies who don’t stop crying. You may feel overwhelmed or frustrated. If you’re feeling this way, it’s important to ask for help. Ask someone close to you to help watch your baby. Never shake or harm your child. Shaking a baby can cause serious brain damage and even death. If you feel like you might shake or harm your baby, get help right away.
