    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

      Baby Swing This one is an absolute necessity. I'm going to go ahead and just admit that right now. While the physical contact of holding Abby close, nursing, bouncing/swaying, etc. was the best way to soothe her…I had to take care of my other child, or you know pee…or, I just needed a break and that's okay. There are night where she wouldn't sleep anywhere else but her swing in the 1st 3 months!
