Any tips for a 4 week old baby with colic?
She's healthy, she's happy most all of the day. Sleeps well, but she just started this routine with the crying and fighting with the bottle.
We burp her well during and after feedings. We have been giving her gas drops when she seems too uncomfortable.
She is on breast milk only. Nursing and from the bottle.
We are already implimenting the 5 S's. This is our 2nd child. The first one developed colic at this age also, but more much worse.
When you are giving your baby the bottle make a ssshhing noise like your telling her to be quiet but do it for 30 seconds or as long as needed. This will make her think she is still in the womb because that sound resembles what she heard in the womb. Sometimes this phase just requires a lot of patience. If that does not work try rocking your baby while you give her the bottle and singing to your baby. A little light lullaby or classical music can also help
