Colic In Babies – Best Home Remedies

The happiness and joy of bringing your infant home are unmatched. You will be at the top of the world and you will want to cherish each and every moment. But, suddenly if your little angel starts crying, for no apparent reason, that too for hours then it can be a matter and great worry for you as well as for the family members.

Colic is when an otherwise healthy infant cries excessively for no apparent reason during the first three months of life. All babies cry, but colicky babies cry more than usual. This can be very distressing not just for the infant but for the parents, caregivers, and health care providers as well.

The good news is that it is temporary, you’re not alone and home remedies are available with which you can relieve the colic.

Check out the following natural remedies for quick relief from colic.

• Warm water has the tendency to relief pain. It can help soothe their tummies, as well as their spirits.
• If you do not want to draw a bath everyday then soak a towel in warm water, squeeze it and gently rub the baby tummy with it
• Massaging the babies with essential oils like almond and coconut oils can calm the babies and also stimulate digestion
• Certain baby exercises can do wonders for releasing trapped gas. You can try doing bicycle legs, bent legs, or put their bellies on your thighs for gentle pressure
• Remember to always burp the baby, soon after every feed
• Gently massage or rub asafoetida on your little one’s tummy, only around the navel. Remember that babies below the age of 10 months should not be fed asafoetida, even with lukewarm water, due to their underdeveloped immune systems.
