is it colic

[dinkydo]

can you tell me how i can tell if my baby has colic or something else.  She is very upset and the only thing that keeps her quite is if i feed her.

If she cries for more the 3 hours at a time for more then three days then its colic.  You can probably feel the wind in her intestines as it passes through.  She will cry about two hours after she has been fed for a while as this is when it passes through her intestines.  Wind her three times with each bottle, twice during a feed.  You may be there for some time as the wind can be hard to get up.  Infacol before each bottle will help.  It has a muscle relaxent so it will help with spasm in her tummy.  colic can happen from anywhere between 1 to 6 months.  The worst of the symptoms will last 2 to 4 weeks.

instead of feeding her, try winding her.  She will cry and wiggle and squirm to get the wind out.  But if you put more food ontop of the windness it will only creat more wind.  Clam her by humming a song and rocking.  the more upset she gets the more likley she will create/swallow wind into her tummy.  You will feel the relief from her once it passes.
