Calming Colic

A colicky baby can be distressing to parents.  It's so hard to see your baby suffering, and your anguish is exacerbated by lack of sleep.  

Here are some symptoms:

• excessive crying
• difficult to comfort
• red facek
• knees drawn up to chest
• clenched fists
• excessive gas
• grimacing or frowning
• high pitched, piercing cry
• worse in evening/afternoon

Although it is not my intent to diagnose or treat, here are a few things that you may want to try. 

• The 3 S's: swaddle, ssshhhhh, and swing.
• Place your baby face down on your arm, straddling it. The pressure on the abdomen helps every time.
• Fill a sock with rice, tie it at the end and heat in the microwave. Afterwards, add a few drops of Epoch Peppermint Essential Oil*. Wrap in a towel and make sure it isn't too hot and rock your baby with the warm compress on his abdomen or swaddle your baby with the warm compress.
• g3*, a superfruit juice, coats the gut and helps calm colic.  It is also guaranteed to raise your baby's antioxidant level greatly reducing the likelihood of illness and disease.
• Add Epoch Peppermint Essential Oil* to Epoch Topical Blending Oil* and rub on baby's tummy in in clockwise motion.  Works like magic.
• Avoid dairy and grains and walk, walk, walk, after the baby eats.
• Use safe probiotics such as ProBio PCC*.
