Colic in a one-week-old baby

It's rare for babies to have colic in their first week of life, but it can happen. Here's some information to help you:

  • It's a good idea to talk to your pediatrician, who will check to make sure your baby is doing well.
  • Infant colic is not serious, even if it is painful.
  • Colic is caused by intestinal immaturity, allergy to cow's milk, or simply anxiety.
  • Provide a soothing environment for your baby.
  • Make sure you are overfeeding your baby and that they don't swallow air while eating.

What helped my baby when she’d get colic is id take off her clothes and swaddle her and walk around the house with her. if that didn’t work i did a swaddle bath and that always worked! hope that helps

I think my 5 week old has colic. If she's not sleeping or eating she's crying. We maybe get a few mins here and there of a happy baby. Also she won't take longer than a 20 min nap 😢. Always been a little fussy but just increased x 10 this week. Using gripe water, gas drops, windi to rule out gas pain but nothing seems to make a difference. Any suggestions welcomed.

Omg so yesterday I posted a question on what to use for bad colic. Well I totally forgot what my grandma used to do for my oldest daughter (who is 12 now). My grandma use to make a paste out of baking powder and olive oil then she will rub it on there stomach, feet, and back then swaddle them. Omg I did this on my 4 week old yesterday cuz she's been non stop fussy and crying and omg let me tell you this worked like magic. My daughter had been asleep so comfortable not crying or nothing since I did this. Just thought I'd share this for anyone dealing with a colic baby works miracles lol.

Has anyone else gone through the 6-8 week fussy period? Baby girl is almost 8 weeks and I think we’re going through it😬 all she wants to do is be outside but it’s hot🤦🏼‍♀️ She’s not crying hysterically or anything so I don’t think it’s colic she’s just more fussy

2 months and my baby cries nonstop! Dr says it’s colic- he’s breast fed and formula fed as well 🥺 I’m so tired. Second week back to work and my mom says he doesn’t stop crying at all! Y’all, it’s hard as heck 💔🤦‍♀️
