Being a doctor and being a mom to 3 boys I am still unable to console my premature newborn. This video is really helpful. Thank you for sharing your knowledge 🙏

Hi Emma. My baby boy would cry non-stop for hours starting a week after birth. Being a first time mom, i felt hopeless and depressed even though i had strong family support.
All doctors i had been to dismissed my concerns and did not give even an ounce of advice.
I did my own research and understood that my baby was becoming overtired as im not putting him to sleep soon enough. For me, the swaddling technique was the game changer. My LO hates when i swaddle him and he cries a lot and fights it. But after a good feeding he sleeps longer and wakes up happier. I also watch out for the cues of sleep. Even though i miss them sometimes, he has become a lot easier to soothe than the past.
My son is 4 months now and still needs help sleeping, but i can see light at the end of the tunnel.

As a father to our fisrt born daughter, really helpless and struggling to keep her comfortable. As I want to let my wife get as much rest as possible, but to tend to a baby that is constantly crying is really stressful. Gonna try these few steps see if it helps. I really dont even know what to do anymore but to try anything that suits the baby.

I would like to add also use Baby carrier. They can have body contact and swinging motion and you have free hands either for a walk or house work😅

[stephynibin]

Your channel is literally my life saver. From learning how to spend time with my new born during wake windows to now learning how to get him to crawl 😊❤ thanks emma

[AngusYoung]

I'm a new father, thank you so much for the informative video I will definitely try these techniques out. You are a lifesaver

[ididntbitem]

I have added your channel to my personal training as a prenatal/early childhood home visitor. The information you provide is indispensable, especially since it has been over a decade since I had my last baby. My agency provides amazing, intense training, but your videos can easily be shared with the parents I visit as an easy-to-follow resource. Thank you for sharing all of your knowledge as a professional, and a Mom!

Gas pain is also a cause for the colicky crying, and can be relieved by moving the baby's legs in certain ways. Checkout videos that teach how to get rid of babies' gas.

Our little one was horrendously colicky from 2-4 weeks and a pacifier helped wonders. She was so much happier when she could suck and calm herself. Just had to be absolutely sure she wasn't hungry before offering it!

[APatie]

I have just swaddled my baby and really it has helped

[corrinayoungs]

We've tried all of these things. My baby doesnt like carriers and screams being held.

[anko]

But should I offer the breast if the colic is caused by what I ate? I’ve had a chicken roast (with cauliflower, beans, etc) and didn’t realise it could affect my newborn. I’ve been considering to thaw some milk from a few days ago to avoid feeding him more of the milk that’s probably causing the issue in first place. 🤔

[fatimakourouche]

The exercise ball is magic sitting on it with gentle bounce helps to sooth baby 😊

[grannygct]

Great informative video on colic conditions. Thank you! I wished I had this video to help new parents understand this condition. It was exhausting at the time with my newborn!

[Shaadyy_]

I'm new to fatherhood, it's been a crazy 2 weeks but I'm embracing it & looking forward to every moment with her ❤️ . Thanks to Emma for all the great advice, it helps more than you know !

[godd]

My baby is two weeks old. Two things help. Milk in her mouth and I just found out a carrier helps too. One sure thing is when she sleeps on her belly. Not safe. But I found a way to get her head steady to the side and she's under constant monitoring..

[laurenburgess]

Thank you for talking about chiro! I shudder at the thought of it (from a fellow OT)
