Since Colic is not an illness or a virus, you can not visit your baby’s physician and get a prescription to cure problem. But, there are many things to try to ease screaming and crying brought on by colic.Here are some suggestions: Cuddle up your infant close to your body and rock, sing, or hum. Walk around room, with your baby close to your body. Bounce as you walk. Take your infant outside. Rub your baby’s abdomen and stomach area. Take them for a car ride. Give them a tepid bath and massage their tummy. Lay your infant on a warm hot water bottle on their tummy. Lay your infant across your lap, close to your knees and bounce them slowly up and down while rubbing their lower back and gently patting their back. Burp them in different positions. Try holding your infant in an upright sitting position on your lap. Support their head by holding their chin in your hand and gently pat their back and rub up from small part of their back toward their neck with your other hand.
