Treatments For Colic That Parents Can Employ

Change Positions

Most people tend to hold a crying or colicky baby face up, which is not very comforting. Try changing positions until the baby stops crying. Hold the baby face down with her head resting sideways on the parent's forearm. This position will apply gentle pressure to the baby’s abdomen and may alleviate gas pain, which is a common reason why many infants cry. Rocking the baby in this position may also help her calm down and fall asleep.
