1. Firstly I will check on the bottle, whether the anti-colic is working or not. Good bottle will give proper air in and out channel to avoid colic.
2. Make sure that your baby's head slightly higher than his body so that the milk travel smoothly into his tummy.
3. Make sure that you burp your baby every time after feeding. Based on my experience, my baby will be less colic if she burp every feeding.
4. Give gripe water to your baby to soothe his colicky tummy. This step may sometime, not working to my baby.
5. I will do the baby bicycle to my colicky baby. Simply by putting my baby on her back and move her leg with cycling motion. My baby will usually fart at this time.
6. Give pacifier to your baby as a step to comfort her. Letting baby cry for a long time will make things worse as baby crying, he/she may breath more air and make colic even worse.

Colic (Part 1)...

Colic is a common problem for babies. It usually happen to baby which is below 5 months. Colic tends to peak around babies at 6 weeks. You can know it is colic when his belly enlarged, baby keep on crying and alternately extends or pulls up his leg.

Colic happens due to immature and sensitive digestive system. Which means, digestive tract contains very few of the enzymes and digestive juices needed to break down food, so processing the proteins in breast milk or formula lead to painful gas....

On part 2, I will evaluate more on how to cope with colic.
