This is probably the most literal form of colic because the hollow, muscular colon is in painful spasm. Typically symptoms occur at the same time every day. Baby usually hiccups a lot, even while still in the womb. When he brings up milk it is often forcefully and his stools explode into his nappy.

Try these tips:

•If Baby hiccups in the womb, supplement with the tissue salt Mag phos – dissolve two tablets 3 times daily on your tongue.

•Crush and dissolve one Mag phos tablet and give to Baby before each feed.

•Wind Baby in the position shown in the sketch on: sit Baby on your leg, balance chin in the angle between your right index finger and thumb, slightly extending the neck, raise his left arm with your right middle finger, tilt him a bit forward but keep his back straight, and rub up against his back from bottom to top.

•Take Baby for a walk at that regular, difficult time of day – better still, send someone else!
