As any parent who has experienced their baby being colicky, it's no fun. It was really hard to hear our baby cry and not being able to comfort him. It can also be very fustrating hearing your baby cry endlessly. My husband and I tagged team when we dealt with our son during his colicky phase. I would try to comfort him for an hour then he would take over then after an hour I would take over and so on. After a couple of weeks of trial and error and searching through the web, we finally found a couple of ways to comfort our son.
I read by doing one or a combination of the 5 S's you can calm your baby down. The 5 S's are the following:
- swaddling
- side/stomach holding
- shushing
- swinging
- sucking
It can be very fustrating for a parent when dealing with a baby who has Colic but one must not give up. There is a way to calm your baby down, believe me we tried and tried. After two weeks and a lot of patience we found out how to soothe him. We were so overjoyed not only for some peace and quiet but to not see our son cry.
