The most holistic approach to treating colic is the lifestyle approach. Certain behaviors do tend to help prevent colic attacks. Some studies have shown that babies who are carried at least three hours a day are less colicky. Other studies refute this opinion, but it is impossible to spoil an infant of under four months with too much attention. Babies pick up on your tensions and internalize them.
All babies outgrow colic.
Remember, this too shall pass. Don't let your frustrations cause you to lash out at a defenseless infant. This means using a lactose-free formula, or having the mother avoid ingesting lactose if she is breast feeding her baby. Colic may be related to gas. Try stopping a feeding every few minutes for burping.
