POOJA KOTHARIExpecting Mom due in 1 month3 months agoA. When a baby has colic—frequent, intense crying episodes typically in the evening—here are some helpful steps you can take:
1. Burp often: After each feeding, burp your baby properly to release trapped air.
2. Hold upright: Keep your baby upright during and after feeds for at least 20–30 minutes to reduce gas build-up.
3. Tummy time: Gently place your baby on their tummy while awake to help relieve gas (always supervised).
4. Warm compress: A warm cloth on the baby’s tummy may soothe discomfort.
5. Gentle rocking or swaddling: Rhythmic motion and snug wrapping can calm a colicky baby.
6. Avoid overfeeding: Feed on demand and avoid feeding too often, which can worsen colic.
7. Change feeding technique: If bottle-feeding, use anti-colic bottles and nipples that reduce air intake.
8. Check mother’s diet (if breastfeeding): Sometimes eliminating dairy, caffeine, or spicy foods helps.
If colic persists or the baby shows signs like poor weight gain, vomiting, or diarrhea, consult a pediatrician. Colic usually resolves by 3 to 4 months of age.
