- Rock. Use a rocking chair or glider to rock baby steadily.
- Drive. The hum from the car or windows along with the motion often helps.
- Sway. Side to side. I see parents doing this long after their colicky baby is over colic. Once you get in the habit it’s hard to stop
- Bounce. Bouncing with a colicky baby often helps get the gas out and entertain them as the same time.
- Lunge. This is hard on the legs and back but often keeps baby happy for short times.
- Wrap. Swaddling baby is a great way to help them feel safe and secure. Swaddling is liked by most babies not just colicky ones.
- Burp. We often did this while rocking and/or swaying. Softly burping baby can help.
- Belly Massage. Rubbing baby’s tummy often helped get the gas out.
- Shhh. Shhh. Shhh. We used a vacuum cd all night until he was over 1yr old.
- Sing. Sometimes a song would help baby or just lift our spirits
