How to Cope With ColicWritten by Monica Faircloth
When my oldest daughter was born, I walked floor night and day, rocking and swaddling, singing and even crying...anything to make my new little miracle stop her endless crying. Well, everyone told me she just had colic and that it would pass. And, alas, pass it did, however I wish that I would have known then what I know now.There are many theories about causes of colic. Many believe that it is breastfeeding that causes it. "Either you are eating something that is not suited to her little tummy or you must be feeding her too much.." they will tell you. Well, maybe. Others believe that bottle fed babies are allergic to formula. "Switch his formula and he will be just fine..." they will tell you. Well, yes that could be it too. Some will say it is gas or an immature nervous system. Maybe. And list goes on and on. However, I believe that answer to solving colic problems is simple. Babies simply "come out" too early and therefore miss out on their "fourth trimester" in womb. This new world needs a lot of getting used to, and some transitional coping methods are in order. Below are some sure fire ways to soothe a colicky baby and restore them to their comfortable, womb-like environment. Well, they will think so anyway.

I am a working single mother from United States. I have 2 children. One boy(Cody) who is 14 and a healthy toddler(Mica). I wrote this articleput up because I needed to do something about dangers that are currently on internet. My son surfs web everyday when he comes home from school. I did not give it much of a thought, since I use AOL. I specifically chose AOL because on CD is says it has a great deal of protection against unacceptable contain and protection from predators sexual. To cut right to chase, for several months my 14 year old son was chatting on IM with what he thought was a teenage girl from same local American Idol fan club. He chatted and exchanged emails for months with this "young girl". Last month, he made mistake of giving our actual street address and telephone number to this person. Not long after, I started getting extremely obsene phone calls made by a person with a distinctly older male voice, referring to my son by name. Strange packages(containing unmentionables) were left at our door steps. This made me frantic, I was at my wits end, I did not know what to do.
