👶 All babies have periods of crying and fussing. It’s considered colic when the crying goes on for more than three hours a day for more than three days a week. The crying is often accompanied by burping and other signs of gas, which may be because the baby is swallowing air when they cry. Here are some ways you can help soothe your colicky baby:
👉 Gently rub your baby’s back.
👉 Change your baby’s position.
👉 Hold your baby near low, rhythmic noises.
👉 Sway back and forth while you hold your baby.
👉 Swaddle your baby in a soft blanket.
👉 Sing and talk softly to your baby.
