Preventing Your Baby’s Gas and Colic Symptoms

Hold Your Baby

Understandably, babies can get very fussy when they just want to be held. Feeling supported in your arms and hearing your heartbeat can work wonders for calming your baby and easing their colic. Skin-to-skin contact also helps to aid in your baby’s digestion to relieve discomfort due to gas.

You can also try the colic carry with your baby. Lay your baby face down on your forearm, laying their cheek against your palm or in the crook of your elbow. This works best with small babies as you have to support your baby’s weight on your forearm. Your baby may find this type of hold very soothing.
