    Coping with Colic: 8 Tips for Calming Your Baby

    I always wondered what I would do if I had a colicky baby. Perhaps I jinxed myself, but that's just what we got when my daughter Abby was born. When our pediatrician told us about the 'power of three' (her crying for longer than 3 solid hours a day, for more than 3 days a week and for longer than 3 weeks), we knew we had our work cut out for us. We fit that bill. He said Abby had colic. Due to all of the unknowns that come with colic, all we knew was this: we had to find our way. And we did, with a fair amount of research, natural instincts, and trial and error. Here are the 8 soothing techniques that worked best for us. - By Selena Burgess

      Just Bounce Thanks to the brilliant recommendation of a friend of mine who had a colicky baby boy born around the same time as Abby, we started bouncing on my yoga ball all over the house like it was nobody's business. And you know what? It really worked. I would swaddle up Abby like a little burrito or wear her in my snug and stretchy cotton wrap and bounce. And sing. And bounce. And sing. A LOT.
