apply ruyi oil and massage his tummy to help him pass air out.
when u prepare the FM for him, u shake the bottle right? so there wil air inside, so turn the lid open abit to let the "extra" air escape n then when u turn back, dun close too tight, as long dun spill can alr.
if too tight, baby will suck in more air.
as told by my mum.

i used dentinox colic drops.. can buy from Guardian or Watsons. but best to go see a doc first as administration stated on the box is different from when my DS doc prescribe. My DS started in 1ml when he was 1 mth compared to 2.5ml as stated on box.

Hi,
A fren taught us, that if your bb has colic, you can try to put him facing you in between your legs and start to rock him gently, it will make him feel better and the rocking motions will remind him of the time in ur tummy and will calm him down too.......and best of all it will make him sleep....
Alternatively, you can swaddle him....after putting like ruyi oil or watever oil or you can massage his tummy, using olive oild to rid the wind, I have a massage guide when I went for a bb massage workshop, if you want can pass it to you by mail.
Let me know if you want.

I didnt shake the bottle when preparing his milk.. I use a spoon to stir instead. And I'll close the lid slowly so that I wont trap so much air inside the bottle. And when it comes to feeding, I'll make sure the teat is full of milk, so that when he drink, he'll take in air too.. But just donno where went wrong, there is air in his tummy..
Today when to see a PD and he said that my boy's nose is abit on the sensitive side, so when he has blocked nose, he'll breathe thru his mouth and thus tk in air loh..
Haha, hi 5!! My boy also fart alot! Especially when I applied ru yi oil for him after bathing..

Does colic happen only in the evening time?? cos my 4mth old son during 7pm to 9pm will tend to cry very easily?? me and my hubby does not know wat is bothering him as other time of the day, he's not like tat
Yes, so whenever he cried, I'll try my very best to calm him down ASAP. But my boy can be very grouchy when he wanna slp and yet he cant slp on his own.ic, i guess shld be the case.

I read from a book that says colic normally happen during late evening time. For my boy, he cried so much during late evening. So I gotta carried him, make sure his tummy is close to mine so that he can feel better.
My son's Pd also asked us to let him slp on his tummy. Babies will feel very comfy slping this way.. Btw u must make sure ur baby's head tilt to one side and make sure he breathe well..
Pd also mentioned that colic babies tend to clench his fists alot. Some will also cried for hrs non stop. And colic is very normal for babies from 0-3 mths.
for my boy, prob still persist, so I let him carry on taking the ridwind drops, this is to get rid of his wind. Maybe u wanna give it a try by talking to ur PD?
Hope these help. :001_302:
