As a newborn photographer of over 15 years, I have seen my fair share of babies that are dealing with Colic.  Colic is a puzzlement, which has not been worked out as yet. No one know why it starts and there is no “single size fits every one” treatment for it also. 

The good thing to know is that the baby’s crying does sooner or later come to an end, and also the colic stops in due course. But having a crying baby is hard to deal with at the best of times, and whilst you are by now exhausted and perhaps a little stressed out from a demanding day, it is extremely tough without a doubt.  So before you want to start crying along side your baby, take a peek at the list below.  The list contains idea from previous parents who have visited the studio as well as what I have discovered has worked to soothe baby and make the situation a little less stressful for both parents and baby.

1. Take your baby for a walk. Both clasping your baby either above alongside your shoulder and resting on your chest are proper stances. To a certain extent crying over and over again leads to formation of gas, so if not anything besides you might assist in releasing the gas and as a result decrease a little of your baby’s uneasiness. For newborn babies, the thud of your heart thumping is frequently comforting, and can assist in relaxing them.

2. Rocking – It does not matter what you make use of, whether it is a rocking chair on which you sit jointly, or gently sway your baby’s cradle, or thump your baby’s bouncer seat. The periodic movement is good for comforting a colicky baby. Yet again, clasping baby next to your chest whilst you sway to and fro in a chair assists as baby can listen to your heart beating.

3. Music – Babies are keen on music, so begin singing, or you can also switch on a TV or radio. Music time and again comforts a crying  baby, above all lullabies. A few babies illustrate a noticeable fondness for a certain melodic manner, and although it does not make them go off to sleep, it might aid to divert them enough to stop crying altogether.

4. Sucking – This technique works very well as the studio – and as a result from talking to a midwife, she recommended a pacifier.  Sometimes parents notice a sucking action and immediately want to feed, which may make things more uncomfortable for baby, a result she recommended a pacifier for colicky babies. A friend’s  daughter would not suck on a pacifier on any other time, however in the evenings while she suffered from colic, she in fact looked as if she was feeling well again when she started to suck on the pacifier. As soon as she stopped suffering from colic, she did not want it any more. 

Probably out of every one of these tips, you will come across 1 or 2 that will facilitate to either make your baby sleep or comfort your baby. And keep in mind – colic goes away in due course. Be certain that you continue to inform your health care practitioner in relation to the colic, as if it continues to go on for an excessively long time, then it might be essential to make sure of additional causes.
