My baby cries on a daily basis, probably anywhere from 6 to 12 hours in the day. I’ve tried everything from gripe water, messages, herbal tea’s, gas drops, but nothing seems to work not even Dr. Karp’s methods sometimes there is no cure for a colic baby.

No gas drops are no good Its all about the shhing and the swaddling and all those other Ss when it comes to dealing with colic. That crying can be really painful to hear and starts to make you feel nuts.

We were using gas drops to help with the constant crying as mentioned in the article but they didnt work – then we realized it was colic. The only thing that worked was swaddling but the key to swaddling is doing it RIGHT I thought it was simply wrapping him up in a blankie. But when I learned to swaddle correctly even my 6-week-old with colic was able to be soothed and the crying would taper off. It was amazing.

It also helpful to keep your baby near your heart. This would really make him more comfortable since the sound is familiar to him. These are just one of the a hrefhttp//cryingbabyhelp.com/ebook/natural remedies for colic/a. Thanks for this useful article and good luck.

All I will say is I got the Happiest Baby dvd, and Harvey Karp is MY HERO Our son Frankie was OUT OF CONTROL crying – we started to wonder if we were doing something wrong. When he cried it seemed like he was in pain and it wasnt until we tried the dvd that we realized it was colic and that there were solutions that would work. His crying was cut in HALF. And yes a white noise cd is a great tool too

Yes – white noise can be real lifesaver and sleep improver for any family, especially people dealing with crying babies and even colic. I even use a white noise cd sometimes myself

AMY – you should definitely try white noise. Harvey Karp made an amazing CD of white noise that you can get with his book and dvd the happiest baby. It is incredible My daughter Liza could really cry and cry and cry and we realized it was colic – we used his techniques and it was like night and day and the cd was a huge part of that.

Funny but true – my sons name is Colin and when he was an infant everyone joked that we should just change the last letter of his name to a C because his nonstop crying was clearly colic. He cried around the clock some days and it was really awful – but now that he is a happy and well-adjusted 2-year old those crying/colic days seem like a forgotten dream, and Colin can keep the N at the end of his name

Colic or not colic and just crying is very hard to assess. I like the direction where this article is taking us. We are trying some of these methods and it looks like baby is receiving them pretty well. I will keep you guys updated on the progress.

My son was colic and we were really concerned that when he grows up that he will be more fragile then other kids. He is 5 years old now and the fact he was colic has not affected his health at toddler age it appears. I must admit that there is a lot of confusing information out there about colic and one has to do good research to find out what is colic, what causes colic and how to cope with it.
