How to Cope With Colic

Written by Monica Faircloth

When my oldest daughter was born, I walked repparttar

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 repparttar 110260 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 repparttar 110261 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 repparttar 110262 list goes on and on.

However, I believe that repparttar 110263 answer to solving colic problems is simple. Babies simply "come out" too early and therefore miss out on their "fourth trimester" in repparttar 110264 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.
