Patient Comments: Colic In Babies - Remedies
Question:What home remedies have been effective for your child's colic?
Comment from: Trinity, 0-2 Male (Caregiver)
Published: August 17
We had two babies with colic. They were both big babies (9.6 lbs and 10.4 lbs). We found that the noise of any motor calmed them down quickly. We used the hand held mix master and started on low. On bad days we had to go up to medium and sometimes high but it always calmed them down. Patient CommentsViewers share their comments
