🌀 How to relieve baby colic
Colic is not a diagnosis to make without considering illness or feeding problems.
What to do
1. What to prepare
Check feeding position and comfort; try gentle rocking or an upright cuddle while awake. Do not give herbal mixtures, gripe remedies or medicines without professional advice.
2. What to check
Seek review for persistent distress, vomiting, poor feeding or growth concerns. Put baby on their back for sleep; take a safe break if overwhelmed.
