“How can I help my baby with colic at night?”

Colic is poorly understood and has no real treatments other than time. Many believe it includes abdominal complaints, and seems more common in formula fed babies. You can try herbal teas, such as ginger, peppermint and fennel. Abdominal massage, with those herbs as essential oils, may help. Many parents find that heat to the abdomen can help. In time, your baby will outgrow it.
