Colic is exhausting for baby and you – you’re a new parent with a crying fussy baby, and you just can’t comfort them. It can also can feel really scary if you have no idea what's going on. If you have a baby with colic, I hope this episode gives you reassurance, some things you can try to help your baby be more comfortable, and some things that may help you be more comfortable, too.
In this episode I discuss:
- The definition of colic
- How much crying is excessive
- What are the causes of colic
- The relationship between stress and the gut
- Why you have to remember that colic is not your fault
- The power of probiotics
- The importance of soothing yourself
- Why you might try an elimination diet
- What herbs can be beneficial: chamomile, fennel, and ginger
- What physical techniques can be helpful
- The importance of getting outside
Not knowing why your baby is crying or how to fix his or her suffering is naturally one of the most distressing experiences a mother has. – Aviva Romm
