The best way to stop baby's crying.

The screams from the three weeks old baby disturbed everyone around in the house. Her mother was in tears and that prompted me into action.

I am familiar with colicky babies. Colic is not new though many mothers are not aware of the term colic. Newborn babies might cry for several hours due to various reasons, which are all baseless really.

The newborn baby is still to get accustomed to the freedom from the womb, which is the primary cause of persistent crying. Some babies have poor metabolism that causes discomfort that leads to crying.

Do you remember the gripe water treatment? Yes, a few drops of gripe water ease the intestinal congestion and makes the baby to burp. Instantly the crying will stop.

Mothers and other family members will get alarmed when the crying goes on for more than an hour. At such times, take the baby to the terrace or garden and gently talk to the baby. Imagine you are talking to the soul, constantly looking at the baby’s eyes.

I know this will work. Pass this tip on!

Do not get worked up over colicky babies. It is very common and won’t last beyond 6 weeks. As the baby grows, the colic will stop.
