have you tired chamel (not spelled right) tea? My friend used that with her baby and it worked like a charm. I was lucky mine never had it. But all 3 of my brothers babies had it. so understand what you are going threw now.let me know how it goes. much and lots of hugs

Thanks, can you give it to 1 month old babies.
I been getting alot of info off the net and esp at HowStuffWorks. but they dont have an age you can give tea to a baby,
But at this point try anything if it doesnt harm her.
Thanks for answering

bumping this up

yes i have a thought! God Bless his/her parents! We went thru 8 mths with my son. Try warming a towel in the dryer not to hot though lay it on your lap and then baby belly down on it rub back. The swing car ride the colic carry. Also ask ped about reflux and it may be as simple as switching his formula. If mom is breast feeding have her eliminate milk from her diet. we had to put dylan on a med for it and it still didnt help.

My daighter had colic. Turned out she was an air-swallower and there was not much I could do about it.

The warm towel is excellent idea. Baby may need change of formula. I would google it and see what you can find out.

PS daughter is STILL an air swallower at age 41! She can burp like a champ. lol

My oldest daughter had the colic real bad and we had to change her to a soy milk. She would scream in pain until we changed her formula. The warm towel is a good idea until you can talk to her pediatrician. I wouldn't give a tiny baby like her any tea. Is her bowels working okay or is she constipated from the formula? That could cause a little more stomach trouble if she is getting a little constipated. If she is having that problem also, try just a little dark brown Karo syrup in her formula and that will relieve any constipation problems. I hope that you find something to help the sweet little thing out. I know how hard it is to see them hurting from a tummy ache and colic.

My oldest had colic some 20 years ago when she was only one month old. Sounds strange but I would get her nice and comfy in her seat and put her whole seat on the dryer that was turned on. I would always be right there with her so she didn't vibrate off... LOL

It always helped, must of been the heat, noise, vibration.

Good Luck!

Ok this is an old remedy but it WORKS! Mix up a little sugar ans arm water in a bottle and give it to the baby. Burp the baby after and it will be gone. Hope it helps!

Thanks everyone, just hate to see that little baby suffer.
I appreciate all the good advice.
Got alot of good advice this morning about 4am at HowThingsWork.com

Make chammomile tea, then dilute it with half tea half water. It is safe for a 1 month old. I just had my friends tiny baby and she was ready to lose it with her first and she was so colicky. I gave her the tea mix and she rested a bit burped and passed gas, then ate formula and slept great. I also used chammomile tea on both my daughters. Also try rocking her in the car seat, like swinging it back and forth. Or use the colic hold and lay her face down across your arm holding her face in your hand, they seem to like that. You could try putting her in her carseat and holding her on the dryer, the vibration soothes some. Good luck I know how bad it makes you feel.

My first born had terrible Colic too. We finally switched her to Soy milk. The first bottle of that, she slept 8 hours straight!! No fuss. Was lovely..except...she slept all day. So then she had her days and nights mixed up..Thank goodness she was the only child then...I just watched a lot of late night/early morning shows and played with her while the rest of the world slept...then we'd both sleep all day.....At least there was no more colic! Yay!

both my sons were colicky,my pedi gave them mylacon for infants,it settled them long enough for them to finally fall asleep.hope it helps,love and hugs,dawn

Here is what worked for my son when he was a baby. It sounds gross, but it worked. Get some rubber gloves and some vaseline. Put on a glove and a small amount of vaseline on your pinky. Very gently, and I mean VERY GENTLY, massage her rectum for a couple of minutes. That will cause her intestines to start working and getting the gas that is trapped out. If it doesn't work within 5 minutes, do it again. But remember to do it gently.

My son had that problem for the first 6 months of his life. It always worked for him, and then he would fall asleep. I have to warn you though, that when you're massaging, be sure to put a large towel underneath her, as the gas and feces will sometimes come shooting out. Like I said, it sounds gross, but it works, and you don't have to worry about side effects.

I hope it will work for you, I know how much agony she's in, thereby causing you pain and stress. I will keep you both in my thoughts.

Do NOT give peppermint oil in this way, esp to baby. Try putting 4 drops peppermint oil in 1 cup almond oil, warm it, and rub on tummy.

I just wonder sometimes. about doctors PERIOD!!! He didnt want to change her formula yet but he isnt the one with the crying baby in pain/
I think it really is something else going on, Its like when she is taking her bottle she is in pain and afterwards she had so much gas, hiccups and we burp her. But she just settles down to get to sleep and she has this bad stomach cramping, ITs only after she eats, Then after awhile she can go to sleep.
We have the gripe water and tables and sometimes they help and sometimes dont phase her.
I just hate to see such a little baby be in so much pain in her stomach,
Bless her little heart and upsets me more the dr just says colic and forgets it.
I think Colic is a dr way os saying they dont know what is wrong and why the baby is in pain so they named it Colic.
We have one of the best childrens hosp in the USA, I think we should have her tested down there for acid reflux or see if something else is going on.
When your children had colic did they have cramping pains in their stomach after every bottle they had?Thanks again
