We are finding children with congenital hydronephrosis on obstetrical ultrasound. And usually it is totally asymptomatic and resolves spontaneously.

Great question. We are finding children with congenital hydronephrosis on obstetrical ultrasound. And usually it is totally asymptomatic and resolves spontaneously. As far as I am aware, it has not been associated with colic. Dr. Karp

If your baby has severe gas pains, no amount of swaddling and shushing is going to relieve that pain. For THAT baby, gas drops are the correct short term remedy (and the longer term remedy is to identify and eliminate the cause of the gas).

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.

That crying can be really painful to hear and starts to make you feel nuts.

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.

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 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.

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.
