This baby seems fussy and unsettled from early on and is impatient and not easily satisfied. Lines of pain are etched into her face and no amount of soothing seems to bring relief lasting for more than a few moments. Baby’s sleep patterns are erratic and calm never does settle over this household for very long. These babies are often prone to rather runny stools and acid nappy rash. Breast babies tend to latch with difficulty, often pushing away or turning their heads furiously from side to side. Their cries are very whiny and Mom may well feel that she has reached the end of her tether.

Try these tips:

•Bath with Baby in deep, warm water laced with lavender and try feeding in the bath.

•Walk while latching Baby to the breast and only sit down once you feel the tension leaving her body.

•Carry Baby in a pouch often.

•Give Baby Chamomilla Tablets dissolved or diluted in a little water at least 3 times each day for almost instantaneous improvement of symptoms.

•If symptoms do not totally resolve, also give 2 doses a day of the homeopathic remedy ColicCare.

•Place Baby under a tree where she can see the gently waving branches, as movement of any kind generally improves symptoms.

•Moms easily feel close to a state of depression and are very tired with this type of colic and taking Rescue Emotion tablets can help a great deal.

•Arrange a sleep-in morning once each weekend with your partner, as this can help to see you through the next week.
