Trying to soothe a colicky baby can be emotionally and physically draining. So it’s normal and totally okay to take a break. If you find that you’re getting stressed or impatient during a colic spell, put your baby in their crib or bassinet on their back without any blankets or other objects, and leave the room for a few minutes. If you have a partner or another caregiver is available, you can also ask them to take over while you take a moment to reset. And remember that you can reach out to your baby’s doctor or your own if you feel like you need more support.
