Our little one month old had terrible colic. He screamed, etc and had lots of gas. We gave him one dr. Ohirra’s probiotic and 3 days later no colic at all. He is fine. We squeezed the gel out of the capsule and put it on the tip of a pacifier where little Leo sucked it all off. It took a few times to get all the gel consumed. What a miracle. No more pain for the little guy. We will continue to give him and the other children and us adults dr. Ohirra’s probiotics everyday.

Thank you! Yes, we did this rock/bounce thing. Wow. It worked for about a week. You are VERY lucky you found something that worked all the time. Good for you for being patient with your bambino. I’ve heard that colicky babies actually turn out to be the best behaved children. There’s something awesome to look forward to. Thanks for the info!

What worked for me was bouncing–I would cradle my child and sit on the edge of my bed or any bed if i was at someone’s house and bounce him. I was afraid he wasn’t getting enough sleep, and this was the only thing that would help him go to sleep.

Our son was colicky for the first 9 months. It was hell, and it gave me a completely new appreciation for what single parents and/or teen parents go through. I truly understood how Shaken Baby syndrome occurred. Thank God we made it through. Your list is pretty complete, but I would add setting the baby in a bed on top of the clothes dryer.

Great post. Very informative! Just thought I’d stop by and let all the parents out there know about a solution I found to calm a fussy baby at night. If the baby has colic or not. I know all too well the horror of being awake all night long and living life day to day like a zombie. Hopefully you will find the information I suggest very helpful, because it worked for me and I know it can work for you! Hope you enjoy! Christopher Mason

I love to read about moms realizing that they can do what they instinctively know is right for their babies, when everyone else says they shouldn’t (ie your ref to cosleeping and breastfeeding). I did that with my daughters too, all 3 of them and life was great!
