Crying & Colic: Evening Colic/Constipation?

Hi, My 5 week old baby has been crying inconsolably in the nights for the past 2 days. He passes stool every 4 days ever since he is born, but this week, he has not passed it for around 5 days. We thought it must be constipation and took him to the doc and she says it is evening colic. We have been feeding him a combination of bottle and breast milk (to help him gain weight), we are trying to minimize bottle as much as possible. He always wants to be suckling and it is getting tough for us to handle. Any help/suggestions would be appreciated?

Hi Anantha,

I know what you are going through because my first child suffered from colic. I can tell you what all i tried which at times worked.

1. You can try and give your baby ajwain water just 1/4 of a spoon.This helps in easing the gas and relieving the pain.Its a home remedy which you can try if your comfortable with.
2.Use a cradle, because my baby at times used to get some relief when he was rocked during these colic attacks.Also when there is no one to help, a cradle acts as an extra hand.
3.Under supervision put your baby on his stomach and pat him, this helps in releasing the gas and giving relief.
4.Gripe water also helps in some cases but doctors do not recommend that nowaday, so pls check.
5.Lastly this phase will last till your child is 3 months old, so be mentally prepared for these three months.
6.Since you know that evenings with colicy baby are going to be bad, make sure you finish of all your work in the day only.Even prepare your evening food early, so that you are not overtired with the evening stress of a crying baby.
7.Last but not the least make sure your husband helps you to tide through this time and for any reason if he is not able to help, either keep a maid or make sure someone stays with you to help you out.Good luck.

Are you giving him medicines for gas ? If not, check with your pead... also make sure you burp him esp after the last meal / drink before sleep. Reduce dals for a few days and see.

It could also be teething.

If it is hunger... then please ensure he gets milk at night.

Rocking probably makes him fee... - Mel [View Message]
