The baby colic can be easily recognized because he cries much more than other babies. While crying, the baby often brings his arms and legs close to his body. Sometimes, he shrinks, stretches his members and brings them back to him. He seems to suffer and may even become very red from crying.

Baby ColiCrying may be intermittent or continuous in baby colic. When weeping, he is sometimes swallowing air, which will effectively give him gas. His belly gets swelled up and it seems to be hard to touch.

It is not known exactly what causes colic, but it is known that parents are innocent.  Babies with colic seem to need more attention and they are more responsive to their environment than other babies. It would be a form of expression in some normal babies.

The colic usually begins between the second and sixth week after birth. Many babies will stop crying about the age of three months. They usually disappear at the age of six months.  A parent cannot cause colic, so try not to feel guilty, because he or she is generally perfectly healthy.

There are ways to help babies with colic to stop crying. You can, for example, change the way you feed the baby or the way you hold him. You can also try the resources listed below to see which works with your baby. It is important to follow a regular schedule with your baby.

Suggestions to comfort your baby with colics

•  Place a water bottle on your baby’s stomach (make sure the water is not too hot)
•  Gently rocking your baby in a rocking chair or cradle
•  Place the baby in a mechanics swing
•  Get you baby a warm bath
•  Give your baby a pacifier
•  Gently rub your baby’s tummy
•  Wrap your baby in a soft blanket
•  Put your baby in his stroller and walk
•  Walk your baby in a baby carrier
•  Reduce the intensity of noise and light in the baby’s room.

Sometimes, babies with colic respond differently to how to take or hold them and they can respond to too much stimulation. Avoid passing the baby from one person to another. Lay your baby on your lap and massage his back. Place the baby in a car seat and place it on top of a dishwasher, washer or dryer running (but do not leave him unattended). Most of all, remember you should not shake the baby in any case.
 
Baby colic can be very hard to live for parents. It may sometimes be galling to hear the baby crying incessantly. When fatigue or frustration becomes too great, ask someone to take over for a while. If nobody can help, you can settle into another room to watch TV or listen to the radio. Crying will not hurt your baby and it is important that you take a break to avoid getting agitated.
