How can you prevent a colic baby?
I was wondering if there is any bottles that work great for a colic baby or formula. I have a week old infant and i heard after 2 weeks that a baby can become colic

You can’t prevent. Either your baby will become colic or not.
It’s how you deal and cope that makes a difference.
a lot of bottles say they reduce chances of colic but i don’t think there is much you can do. if you were breastfeeding you could watch what you ate as some foods can cause colic (onion, cabbage, citrus fruits etc). other than that just make sure you wind the baby properly so there isn’t air caught in the system. this is what causes the pain and the crying.
might sound kinda wierd…when the baby is born and goes through the birth canal, his skull has a lot of pressure on it and causes the plates to over lap. this sometimes causes them not to be able to latch on properly therefore drinking a lot of air and causing gas and a colic baby. in the first couple of weeks of life, you can go to a chiropractor that specializes in this, and he can reposition the plates. also can work on the babys back, because the spine has a lot of pressure also through the birth proccess. this can be an option for you. your insurance will probably cover it, if not it costs around $50
just a tad of mylicon (spell check) or i gave my newborn manzanilla…mexican tea. just 1 oz around the evening time. if youre interested in this…you can buy it at any grocery store and put a few in a pot of boiling water and let the water become a light golden color…and let cool.
and NO…its not bad for babies…atleast not a sm. amount such as 1oz. if it were bad then most babies in mexico wouldve suffered…and thats not the case.
