TOP TIPS ON HOW TO COPE WITH A COLICKY BABY - INFANT COLIC, CRYING, REFLUX, EXCESSIVE GAS AND SENSITIVITY

  1. CHECK WITH YOUR GP AND IF NECESSARY GET A FULL EXAMINATION The first point of call should always be to speak to your family doctor, health visitor and/or midwife and ask for their opinion. When a medical reason is ruled out and there is no explanation for your babies crying or symptoms these tips may be useful. Many babies go through a period of 'purple crying' and I found the purple crying website:  http://purplecrying.info   useful for explaining why some babies become distressed for no known medical reason.  2. GIVE BABY-WEARING A GO! I found carrying my youngest baby around in a sling very useful. It allowed me to get on with all of my tasks each day and my baby spent many hours each day in the sling. We have a Close Caboo sling and I have used it every day since my baby was a few days old. If possible, contact your local sling library for their knowledge on safe baby-wearing and be sure to always follow the T.I.C.K.S safety guidelines.  Close Caboo Sling link - John L
