What is Colic?
Colic appears during the first weeks of life. Its primary symptom is
excessive crying. The baby seems to be inconsolable, and can cry for hours at
a stretch. He or she can appear to have intestinal discomfort, and can pass
a lot of gas. In spite of all this, the baby is healthy, and usually gains
weight well. According to the various estimates I have read, colic affects
from 10 to 20 percent of babies.
Colic typically peaks in intensity at about 6 weeks and goes away by
3 months or so, although it can last longer.
Some babies will cry at a certain time of day, especially evening.
My son seemed to cry more in the morning.
Colic doesn't appear to hurt the baby in any way. However, it can
take an enormous toll on the parents emotionally and physically. To listen to
the cry of a newborn can be very stress-inducing. Especially when you are
exhausted, recovering from pregnancy and labor, worried if you're going to
"bond" with the baby, unsure of yourself in the role of parent, perhaps even
suffering from post-partum depression. You can run the gamut of emotions,
from despair to rage.
There are many theories about what causes colic, none of them totally
proven. A couple of things are certain, though. The baby WILL outgrow colic,
and turn into a normal happy human being. Also, it is definitely not the
parents' fault!
*** WARNINGS, DISCLAIMERS CONCERNING THIS FAQ FILE: ***
This FAQ consists of the personal experiences of misc.kids readers.
It is no substitute for qualified medical advice. The safety and effectiveness
of all the remedies suggested in this FAQ have not been verified by me
personally.
If your baby seems to be crying excessively or is in discomfort,
please consult a physician! There are other conditions besides colic which can
cause these symptoms. The diagnosis of "colic" should be made by a doctor.
Don't give the baby ANY medications or ANYTHING else (besides breast
milk or formula of course :-) ) without talking to your doctor.
********************************************************
That said, here are some of the remedies we tried with our son Patrick...
1. Mylicon drops - These are over the counter drops, containing simethicone.
These did seem to relieve his gas pains.
2. Giving up milk products - I was breastfeeding, and the doctor recommended
trying this. It made a world of difference! It's hard to do though, it's
amazing how many foods contain milk or cheese. I took calcium supplements
just to be careful.
3. Swaddling and using a "Snugli" - Patrick hated this!! He did not like being
restrained in any way (he's still like that).
4. Walking around - My husband spent a lot of time walking up and down the
hallway with him, this stopped him from crying, but was exhausting.
5. Going outside in the stroller - this worked. In our case, it seemed like
the more stimulation he got, the happier he was. I've heard that it's the
complete opposite for other babies, though. That's why I suspect that
there are several "types" of colic.
6. The "Sleep-Tight" - I bought one of these things. This is a device that you
connect to the crib, which makes it rattle like a moving car. You also get
a tape of "white noise". It stopped him from crying when it was on, but he
never fell asleep. So I'd have it on for maybe 10 minutes, and as soon as I
turned it off he'd start crying again. Their number at the time was
1-800-NO-COLIC, they do have a money back guarantee.
7. Running the vacuum cleaner - This made me fall asleep, so I don't know if
it worked on Patrick too. :-)
8. Mechanical swing - I put him in somebody else's swing when the colic was
nearly over. He loved it. If I had to go through it all again, I'd buy a
swing right away.
9. Working his legs up and down to get the gas out - this helped a little.
10. Letting someone else watch him!!! I left him with my husband a couple of
times, got in my car and wandered aimlessly around the mall. It was
wonderful! When I came home, I felt recharged and ready to handle things
again. I found it necessary to get completely out of earshot of him in
order to relax.
11. I fed him a lot. He went from the 50th percentile to the 90th percentile
in weight, in 2 months. Sometimes feeding him was the only thing that
would comfort him.
12. I would sometimes put him on his stomach on my knees and pat his back.
This would help sometimes.
13. When all else failed, I'd go in the other room and punch the walls.
Fortunately I didn't damage anything. :-)

A friend just had a baby, and he was driving her crazy, screaming ALL THE TIME.
Another friend in the group mentioned it might be a milk intolerance or
chocolate, which causes gas and contains milk..... My friend stopped drinking
milk and eating chocolate, started taking the calcium supplements and the baby
was absolutely delightful.
I realize this won't work in all cases, but it's definately good for a try?

From: Lynda Seehusen
Hi Elaine: Ooo, the memories make me shudder. I'll add what I can from my
experience with my daughter Emma's 6 month long colic experience:
1) Once you have a diagnosis of colic it is very important to change your
mind-set. *Accepting* that you have a baby with colic (the thing that I
was most afraid of happening to me!) will go a long way in your dealings
with your baby. Say to yourself (over and over if necessary) "my baby
is crying and there is nothing I can do to make this period go any faster.
This is NOT hurting my baby, I am the one who is having the problem with it."
2) Accept the fact that all that crying really ISN'T hurting your baby. I
was excessively worried that somehow Emma's crying would have a negative
impact on her bonding with me and my husband. Talking with other moms who
survived colic (one poor woman had TWO children with it!) and seeing how
mentally and physically well the kids were today really helped. My
daughter is now 2 years old and very happy and well-adjusted.
3) If you feel like you are going to "lose it" if your baby cries for one
more second, put your baby in his/her crib, shut the door and do one or
more of the following: Call a friend and cry to him/her on the phone. Call
your mom :), take a shower and sing REALLY loud, go outside and breathe
deeply, find a good quality set of ear plugs. Wear them. Run around the
house. Scream into a pillow and hit the bed (this was really great for me!).
When you feel like you can handle it again go get your baby. Do NOT feel
guilty, there is nothing you can do anyway to make him/her stop crying.
4) Remember that some of the things normally suggested to calm colicky
infants might not work for your particular baby. Emma, for example, HATED
being wrapped tightly in a blanket (one of the usual suggestions) and it
made her even more angry. She was greatly comforted by the swing (invest
in a battery-powered or silent wind one) and being taken for rides in the
car and in her stroller. She hated being held still but if we walked around
bouncing her gently up and down she liked that. She also hated her Snugli
carrier.
5) Mylicon Drops! One of the side effects of all that screaming is that
infants swallow a lot of air and get gas and that makes the problem all the
worse. Mylicon drops (or other drops labeled "Infant Anti-Gas" drops which
contain Symethicone are life-savers for this problem. My husband and I
have used them on ourselves on occasion and they work _really_ fast :)
6) Utilize friends and relatives to take shifts with the baby while you
get out of the house. I had one wonderful friend who didn't mind listening
to Emma scream and would come over and watch her while Shawn and I went
out to eat and did other normal-people activities. Don't try to be a hero
and feel you are the only one who can watch your baby! Trust me, s/he will
cry with or without you :)
These are the top 6 suggestions I can think of that helped us survive
Emma. Make sure your child gets a throrough eval. from your pediatrician
to rule out any allergies to formula or things in your diet if you're
breast-feeding. I know of three cases where "colic" was caused by allergies.
Maybe I should add a point #7 to the info. I sent. That is this: The child
is worth every minute of screaming you have to listen to :) One day you
will come home from work and your two year old will see you and her face
will light up and she'll yell "Hug! Kiss!" and the memories of colic will
fade further and further away...
8. Over-stimulation was a big problem in Emma's case as she was a 7 weeks
early preemie and didn't process information well with her immature
nervous system. Putting her in her swing at night (she was worse in the
evenings) in the darkened kitchen and turning off all other forms of
noise, etc. really seemed to help soothe her. A baby who likes to be
rocked (Emma hated it) might also benefit from being held on a shoulder
in a darkened room with a light blanket over his/her head and rocked.
9. Excersizes were recommended to me by a friend who had survived a colicky
baby. Start by laying your baby on a flat surface. Take one of her
feet in each of your hands and slooowly stretch one leg out and push
it back up until her foot touches her butt again. Take the other leg
and do the same. Repeat about 10 times. Then take both feet in one
hand and make big circles with them (again, slowly and gently). Next
take one of the baby's hands in each of yours and, one at a time, bring
each hand over to the opposite side. Repeat about 10 times. Finish by
taking hold of each foot again and together stretching them out and
bringing them up to the baby's butt.
This helped loosen up Emma's gas and she also seemed to like the
movement.

I am not by any means an expert on colic (although I am on my third child
right now) but I find that mylacon (sp?) infant drops by mylanta is great
as is any grey noise (e.g. a vacuum cleaner running, an am radio between
stations really quiet, a car ride, and my VERY noisy computer fan) is a
great help, it distracts the baby from the discomfort and helps him to
sleep.
Good luck on getting other info, I'd be interested to find any
solutions... we had the carpet in our living room worn out from my
daughter's colic, thank goodness she's past that!

I had a colicky baby myself. The most important thing I can say to other
victims is:
It's NOT your fault!
Second most important is:
It's natural to be angry, including angry at the baby.
The third, which is impossible to believe, but is nonetheless true, is
It gets better.
I wouldn't have believed, when my colicky baby was four months, if I'd
been told how much I could love him at eighteen months. (I'd have been
grateful, but pessimistic.)

There is a product called "Gripe Water" that seems to be available
everywhere but in the US --- it worked with my son. My mother was not
too happy about my using it, as she thought that it was just a placebo,
but she came around when he stopped crying so much.
Just my $0.02 worth.

Do you want references, or just experience? I think the Fussy Baby by
William Sears is excellent. I think colic is helped a lot by avoiding
dairy products. Evening colic is a different thing though. The best
thing for evening colic I found was 'the baby dance'. I could not
comfort my children, their father could. Leaving one breast really empty
and using it as a pacifier helped. They wanted to suck, not feed.

From: Edward Segall
-Tight swaddling (arms and legs). It is essential that he can't get
loose. Our child is pretty happy until he works his arms out, then he's
miserable. Unless he's really hungry - then he cries anyway, as you
would expect. FYI, he gets his arms out by kicking until the blanket is
loose.
-Calcium supplements: I haven't seen this one go by, but our doctor
suggested Mom take supplements (500 Mg, 3X/day). He says it helps
sometimes. The specific brand recommended was OSCO, though I have no idea
if their formulation is supposed to be significant.
Note 1: He made this recommendation knowing that my wife gets plenty of
calcium from dairy products.
Note 2: Using these techniques, we have not yet found it necessary for my
wife to reduce her diary intake.
-Very throrough burping after every feeding, and in the middle too if he
seems to be swallowing air.
-Simethecone drops in the middle of (or after) every feeding. We don't
bother using these until afternoon, since Martin is pretty happy until
late evening.
-Some reduction in Mom's consumption of gas-inducing vegetables at
dinnertime (she eats these at lunch instead, as many of these are very
important for nutrition (e.g. cruciferous veggies).
-Pacifier when all else fails and we can't stay awake any more up to walk
with him (we have to rest, too).
We don't know which of these is the most important, but since we started
doing all of them, he's much happier (and so are we).

From: K. A. Weiss
Our daughter had colic, and would cry non-stop (or nearly so) every
evening from about 5 to around 9. My husband worked most evenings, so I
usually had to deal with it on my own. Her colic was caused primarily by
overstimulation, we think. There didn't seem to be any digestion-related
problems, but she did tend to scream whenever she was faced with any type
of new situation, at any time of the day.
The best advice that I can offer to parents with a colicky baby is to
keep in mind that crying alone does not hurt the child in any way. (It
might cause gas temporarily, but that passes quickly.) After you've
checked for all the possible reasons for the screaming (hunger, a wet
diaper, uncomfortable clothing, gas...), there's little more you can do
but let the baby cry.
If holding the baby seems to help the screaming, then do it. But if it
doesn't help (or if, as in our case, it makes it worse), don't feel
obliged to hold the baby. Put him/her in a safe place and do your best
to ignore the screams. Do check on things every once in a while, if
you're not in the same room.
Some remedies that worked for us on occasion were taking a walk (even in
very cold or wet weather), a long drive in the car and getting her
completely undressed (indoors, of course). Some things we tried with NO
success were "womb" tapes (recordings of womb sounds, with or without
music), rocking her in the rocking chair (which she liked at other times of
the day), and Mylicon drops (for gas). The one thing that worked the
best for us was her infant swing. When the screaming started, and after
I'd changed/checked her diaper and tried to feed her, I would just put
her in the swing and wind it up, then go fix dinner. Usually by around
8, she would start calming down, then I would feed her and hold her for a
while before putting her to bed for the night. By the time she was 3
months old, the colic had started tapering off, and we started recording
days without screams on her calendar.

From: Paula E. Burch
There is a claim that 50% of colic cases are due to cow's milk protein,
either in formula or from the mother's diet; I believe the actual number
is closer to 25%. At any rate, any mother with a colicky baby would be well
advised to give up dairy products for a week or two as a test. (Just
a day or two won't do it--it takes some time for the body to be rid
of the milk proteins). Note that soy formula bothers a large fraction
of cow's milk formula-intolerant babies, so soy formula is not necessarily
an answer. For formula-fed babies, expensive hypoallergenic formula
would be a better test.
I wished that cow's milk was at fault in our case! Eliminating milk,
cheese,
etc. from my diet helped not at all. In fact, the only thing that helped
was
to just let the poor little guy cry. He was not happier when we put him
down (this is something that helps some babies), so we held him as much
as possible while he cried. We couldn't make him feel good, but at least
we could let him know that we cared. The only way to stay sane while
holding a crying baby for hours is to get earplugs, the good foam kind.
You can still hear everything, but reducing the sound by 29 decibels
makes it possible to endure it.
It was possible, by trying some of the zillion and one hints you read for
colicky babies, to get him to cry less during his fussy period, but
then he would sleep poorly that night. It became clear that, for this
particular baby, crying for three hours everu evening was simply
necessary and fulfilled some real function.
The most important thing to know when you have a colicky baby is that
parenting will get a lot better very soon, usually by three months.
Repeat again and again: It will get better, it will get better, it will
end up being worth all this suffering.
My colicky baby turned into a very easy-going toddler. Colicky babies
do not stay high-need, necessarily. I think there's no connection
between ordinary colic and being a high-need child later.

The one thing that has worked 90% of the time for me and my circle of
friends, (in-laws, extended family, girlfriends etc.), for relieving a
colicy baby is getting breatfeeding mom OFF of dairy products. I never
would have believed what a difference it made if my knowlegdeable
friends hadn't convinced me to try it. And so far everyone I've
recommended this to have also seen a vast differnece in their baby's
disposing. There are plenty of other sources of calcium and the other
stuff found in dairy that just sometimes take a little more imagination
to fix.
Removing dairy from your diet should see results in your baby in about 2-3
days.

From: Mike Deliman
I'm not a parent, but i am a godparent of two beautiful children, a boy
(21mo) and girl (6mo). Both have had colic.
With the boy, we traced the colic back to two things (it would seem): his
mom was on antibiotics after the birth, and their presance in her milk
upset his stomach. He did well on formula for about a week, then the
colic started in again. Some things which helped were pepermint water,
gas drops (mylecon?), and holding him in "burping" position, rocking back
and forth and up and down (yes, all at once, GENTLY!). (this had to be
done in such a way that he could watch T.V. !)
We finaly had to try neutramagen (sp?) soy formula. This did the trick.
He's okay on yogurts, chease, etc, and can now drink milk. Early on
(5 - 6 months) he was able to have yogurt&fruit juice, but milk would
still bring on colic. At about a year he was able to take goat's milk,
but not cow's. Colic (milk sensativity) in some cases can be outgrown.
His little sister also has colic problems, also only on milk-based
products. The same remedies help with her.

From: Heather Madrone
The most common colic foods are tomatoes, nuts, cabbage family (including
broccoli), coffee, chocolate, onions, cow's milk, citrus, seafood, eggs,
prunes, excessive fruit or fruit juice, beans and highly spiced foods.
It is common for babies to be sensitive to some of these foods, but usually
not all of them. My older daughter had especial problems with tomatoes,
citrus, peanuts, caffeine and chocolate. Both of my girls had problem
with beans and cabbage family vegetables. My younger daughter couldn't
handle lettuce.

Has it been helpful? In my daughters' cases, their food sensitivities
were obvious. I'd eat substance X and, 2 - 12 hours later, they'd be fussy
or uncomfortable. A month later, I'd eat substance X again, same thing.
Usually, babies grow out of colic by 3 - 5 months of age.
There are a kajillion recipes for soothing a colicky baby. Things that
worked (sometimes) for mine:
1) Hold them up over the shoulder so my shoulder is pressing on their
abdomen while I walk. Dance around gently, rubbing their backs and singing
to them.
2) Nursing.
3) Giving them something to brace their feet against if they're having a
problem passing stools.
4) A walk outside (almost a sure winner)
5) Daddy dancing (this defies description, but I think most dads develop
an effective colic dance at some point).
6) Holding the baby face down over my forearm and flying them around the
house. Or turning the baby face down over my lap and rocking in a rocking
chair.
7) Aforementioned rocking chair, baby over the shoulder or facedown or
sitting up.
8) Bath with a parent.

You're not spoiling him. He's uncomfortable and you're letting him know
that you're right there and you care. His little body is so new at all of
this and basic systems like digestion still aren't completely working.
It's difficult to have a high need baby, to feel guilty when you have to
put the baby down to go to the bathroom. I think you're doing the right
thing.
I think it's important to get as much help from dad as possible in these
situations.
Hang in there. It _will_ get better soon.

From: Tracy Hill
When my son was born he had colic until he was 14 weeks old.
He was bottle fed, we went from formula to formula.
We tried mylicon drops, it helped a tiny bit.
We took him for a ride in the car, he was fine until we stopped.
He literally lived in his swing the whole time, that is where he was the
happiest.
All in all, very few things helped, he grew out of it, FINALLY!
This experience almost kept me from having another child. I did last
year and she was not colicky at all!!!!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
From: Jon Bradley
Just one more suggestion for the Colic FAQ, for those who bottle feed.
We tried switching from the standard cows milk formula feeds to Soya milk
formula.
Hey Presto! No colic since... :)))

From Jennifer Fai
For those of you who have a chiropractor that you feel good about, I
suggest that you discuss giving your baby an adjustment to reduce colic.
It worked like a charm for me. From birth, our baby cried and cried and
cried and was only sleeping about 12 hours per day, at about 6 weeks I
went in to have my back adjusted and my chiropractor suggested that the
baby get adjusted as well. He basically put him on his knee and pressed
gently on the baby's spine (not at all like an adult's adjustment, more
like massage). After the adjustment he slept 18 to 20 hours a day and he
stopped crying. It seemed like a miracle. Another friend of mine had her
baby adjusted for colic, and she too said that it worked.

From: James and Marilyn Rogers
Dear Elaine, my wife and I are currently suffering through the experience of
raising a colicky baby. We decided to search the Internet to see if anyone had
posted any information related to colicky babies. We also hoped to find
similar experiences in order to reassure us that others have gone through the
same ordeal!
Our child "Alex," is 8 weeks old today. He is a formula fed baby. His colicky
condition began at 3 weeks of age. He didn't exhibit any of the signs of milk
intolerance. Here are the symptoms that we experienced from Alex:
1) His hysterical crying would go continously for hours during the day
and evening and especially after feedings.
2) Alex would arch his back during feedings and cry and scream in a
"HIGH PITCHED" voice during burping and after feedings.
3) He absolutely couldn't stand lying on his back.
4) He would experience frequent bouts of abdominal pain.
5) His high pitched screaming would sometimes diminish when held
upright.
6) He would draw his legs and knees up to his chest.
The only way we could get him to sleep at night would be to place him in a car
seat, propped up on a pillow, or placed in a battery operated swing.
We initially turned to our pediatrician who informed us that sometimes babies
are fussy. The pediatrician adopted a very patronizing attitude and informed
us that as long as he was gaining weight and not violently spitting up, that
there is nothing that could be done, except possibly changing to a soy based
formula such as Isomil and Prosobee, or a predigested formula such as
Nutramagin. After two weeks of this (my wife and I absolutely on the edge of
hysteria) he finally consented to changing Alex's formula to a soy based
formula. Changing to the soy based formula seemed to work for about two days.
The pediatrician explained to us that first time parents are overly sensitive.
I had heard from work that babies that are breast fed aren't as colicky as
babies that are formula fed. My wife, willing to try anything at this point,
called a lactation specialist to inquire about getting her breast milk going
again.
EUREKA!!!!! The lactation specialist asked my wife why she wanted to get her
breast milk going again, and my wife explained what we were going through.
After describing some of the symptoms, the lactation specialist diagnosed Alex
with Gastroesophageal Reflux (GER)! (by the way my wife had diagnosed this
condition when Alex was 4 weeks old by reading about the condition and
symptoms in "The Baby Book" by William Sears, M.D. & Martha Sears, R.N. pages
358-359. The old pediatrician had dismissed it however because Alex wasn't
violently spitting up.)
GER is often diagnosed as the hidden colic! "Normally when your child eats,
the food goes down his/her esophagus or food pipe and into the stomach. At the
end of the food pipe there is a valve called the lower esophageal sphincter
that works to keep acid and food in the stomach. With GER the food and acid in
the stomach come backup into the food pipe and cause a feeling of heartburn,
indigestion and pain. Stomach acid can also cause ulcers to form in the lining
of the esophagus or food pipe.
GER can be a serious problem if undiagnosed, because your child is at risk for
aspiration, or sucking stomach contents into his/her lungs, which may cause
frequent pneumonias or periods of breath holding (apnea)." Note: see Cardinal
Glennon Childrens Hospital (Gastroesophageal Reflux) pamphlet. 1465 S. Grand
St. Louis, MO. 63104 (314) 577-5600 !
We changed pediatricians and it was properly diagnosed and the condition was
in fact verified. GER is often undiagnosed and grouped under the title of
colic. In 50% of the cases the children will simply outgrow the condition
within 6 months. However in some cases there is a minor surgery that is
performed.
There are steps to help control the condition. We are not pediatricians and
recommend that you seek medical advice before taking these steps to alleviate
a suspected GER condition. DO NOT TRY THIS WITHOUT CONSULTING YOUR DOCTOR
FIRST!
1) Hold baby upright during feeding and 20 to 30 minutes after
feeding.
2) Feed your baby slowly and burp frequently after every ounce.
3) Thicken formula with rice cereal as instructed by your doctor. The
average thickening needed is one tablespoon of rice cereal for every
two ounces of formula.
4) Do not place your baby in a swing, car seat, infant seat etc.
(pumpkin seat) for at least 30 minutes after feeding.
5) Try smaller amounts of formula but more frequent feedings.
6) Elevate the head of your baby's crib or basinet at least 12 to 24
