Can't it be given before the feed? newborns - Venus - 12-01-2004 Quote:Originally posted by squeaky Squeaky, not all babies develop colic. However, my son had it from the day he was born & it stopped suddenly when he was about 6 weeks old. I used to dip his dummy into gripe water rather than give him a proper recommended dosage & always used Infacol before a feed. I also found that the colic improved greatly when I had him sleeping in bed next to me. I'm a single mom so this was an easy solution for me but, understandably, not so easy when you're a couple & one of you has to get up for work in the morning! I also learnt some brilliant baby massage techniques which helps to shift any stubborn wind as well as relaxing the baby. Get a very mild baby lotion that is scented with camomile & lavender, then VERY GENTLY rub it into the baby's tummy in circular movements in a clockwise direction (the direction of the intestines) & then the same on the back but in an anti-clockwise direction. The medical world don't really know what causes colic yet & in really bad cases, some doctors even recommend taking your baby to a chiropractor as it's suspected that colic may even be caused by a minor injury during birth. I also strongly recommend this web site to anyone who is a parent of a baby or about to become a parent: http://www.babycentre.co.uk/ newborns - sue w - 13-01-2004 Quote:Originally posted by dudette Ja, you can mix a couple of drops with some milk and give it on a spoon beofre a feed. newborns - squeaky - 13-01-2004 thanx for all the tips peeps. will look into them. beth doesnt have colic and i pray she never will get it. it's just good to know what to do incase it does happen. newborns - jewels - 13-01-2004 Quote:Originally posted by squeaky hehehehehehehyehe newborns - jewels - 13-01-2004 Quote:Originally posted by sue w ahhh thanks at 30 and nearing 31 - i feel i am responsible enough now to start !
