How to deal with a colic baby?
He 4 weeks old
I’ve tried everything. Have him mylicon drops, baby gas x, colic tablets, and switched him formula form Enfmail Lipil to Gentlease
Nothing seems to be helping
I dont know how to get through this
Unless he’s eating or sleeping, all he does is fuss or cry
I just want to cry all day long because I dont know what to do!
Any tips on what could help or how to keep my sanity?!
He may be intolerant to the formula. Take him to the doctor and explain what is going on. For your sanity – just remember that this is a phase and he will go through many of them. If you can’t take it anymore put him in his crib and step outside for a few minutes. Get help if you need it.
My daughter had colic and we use to use gripe water and warm bathes and clothes on her belly..we also use to do a bicycle motion with her legs to help relieve the gas. Mainly she was calmed by being held close and lots of movement. I also use to play music while i tried to calm her to help calm me..lol. I know it’s hard to go through but eventually he will grow out of it..for now just try to get some help from family so you can rest a bit. Hope this helped
when my babies were fussy and cried i put them in the baby swing, the swing always worked for me.
you sure its not a gas problem or acid reflux.have you made sure with your doc to give your baby those medicines?my daughter is on similac.but she use to drink those formulas.try putting her on your lap tummy down.oh,how much do you give your baby on milk.does the baby burp good and poop.hows things looking when the baby does a #2.does the baby gas out good.also try push easy on her knees to her stomach to get her to push out.and do you have bubbles in the bottle.get the air out the bottle.
infacol drops are very good for babies with colic. it could be that ur baby maybe intolerant to normal formula. i would talk to my doctor to rule out intollerance or any other health issues.
Very unfortunate situation. Have you tried using ColicCalm gripe water? This is what I have found works great. I’ve used it myself, and it helps. As a parent that has gone through this, all I can say is stay strong!

We had a lot of luck with Gripe Water. Also a good sound machine and a warm water bottle in the bassinet. One thing that helps a lot is to make sure he is tightly swaddled, then sit and slowly rock him and make the slow shush-shush-shush sound while you rock him. It really worked for us, but I know every baby is different.
