If you’re nursing, pay attention to what you’ve eaten earlier in the day and possibly the day before Maizy has her colicky days. My Amber had a really rough time when I ate cucumbers!

If you are nursing sweet Ms Maize, drink a cup (or more) of Fennel tea everyday. My L&D nurse was a lactation consultant for the LLL and she highly advised this to prevent colic. I did this with my boys and it worked great & the 2 times I forgot to have my tea, the screamed!!! It’ll help your digestion too!

My oldest son had colic from the time he was 3 weeks old until he was about 6 months old. Usually from about 5 until 10 or 12 at night. Although sometimes during the day, too. We tried everything and the only one we found to work was Baby’s Bliss Gripe Water. They have a website you can order off, and it also lists drug stores you can buy it in.

Wow, thanks for all the great soaker info. i definitely will be making/using them the next time around…. i can reciprocate with the colic advice too. Tigerlily used to get that way between 4-7pm every evening( for a few months). The only thing she liked was facing outwards in her snuggly carrier, then walking around the block over and over, and because of the time of the evening the cars were just putting on their headlights, there was something soothing to her about watching the cars/lights/cool air. She loved being outside and not too bundled up, her little arms and legs sticking out- warm in the middle, but cool everywhere else. By the time we had walked around the block about 5-10 times and came inside, it had passed and all was well. Also, I’m sure someone has asked you this, but i’ll throw it out, she could be sensitive to something in your diet if you breast feed. i ate artichoke dip one night, and my poor son!! he was miserable with gas that night. The other thing he couldn’t take was me drinking chamomile tea, i have allergies, and chamomile is goldenrod family i found out later, so he probably was sensitive to that too! All the crazy things i never thought about….the other thing i WISH someone had told me about was drinking fluoride water when you’re pregers can strengthen the baby ’s teeth later. Had NO idea. We just got fluoridated H2O here in S. Ca. so kids teeth should get better. oxox, juliblue

For the gas, nothing works better than Mylicon. We used even store brands (Wal-Mart, Target, etc) and the Wal-Mart brand comes in a non-staining formula. We added it to almost every bottle for a while. Then the gas went away (our son’s system got used to the milk and formula). We would also have a “fussy time” around 6 in the evening. I found that walking him around and giving him a change of scenery helped. Just a little advice from one mom to another! Enjoy these days…they pass all too soon!
