Suddenly, the cuteness starts to wear off. Suddenly, the reality of your new life sets in. And your baby has colic. And nothing you do is working. At any rate, helping a baby with colic is trying, tortuous, exasperating and tiring - and very drawn out.
Classic colic can set in at two to three months of age and last up until about six months of age.
I've heard some horror stories and have a couple of my own. I've also heard a plethora of suggestions on how to help a baby with colic. I used them on my son a few times and he would stop crying and be a happy baby again after about 10 minutes. Stick to a basic diet with little to now spices and try eliminating dairy for a week or so. Your baby may be having an allergic reaction to it.
