Treatments For Colic That Parents Can Employ

Use A Pacifier

Parents might be hesitant to try a pacifier for their babies because they have heard stories about how hard it is to wean them when they are older. Babies have a strong sucking instinct, and a pacifier might be useful for promoting sleep and calmness. A 2005 study also showed that babies who sleep with pacifiers are at a decreased risk of sudden infant death syndrome. Be sure not to force a baby to use a pacifier if she does not want one.
