Colic/ Witching hour /PURPLE crying

Have you tried gripe water?

My son has spurts and just being held usually calms him. The dr gave me a paper though that says going for a drive, walk/fresh air/ swaddling ect.

A few things that help my baby (he’s almost 8 weeks and we are on week 2.5 of these evenings):
-a hair dryer sound on youtube
-going into the dark bathroom and turning on the faucet or bathtub
-a paci with a larger nipple angled up to the roof of his mouth so he can feel it
-hold him in front of the open freezer for a minute or two, or cold air outside if available.
-dark, quiet rooms. calm vibes.
These help him reset long enough to help him fall asleep normally. Most importantly, don’t switch tactics too often- stick to the same thing for a while before you try something else so you’re not overstimulating them

I usally put my baby wrap on and go for a walk or pace the house

Gas drops!! I use Infants Mylicon Gas Relief and give them about 5 mins in to nursing when it gets close to his witching hour. Approved by my pediatrician 🫶 also when that doesn’t work, these are some things that have provided temporary relief so my husband and I can recoup… combo of burping, shushing, bouncing, and walking to different rooms (yes all at the same time lol), putting him on his Skip Hop changing pad (he loves the mobile and something about hard-ish surfaces), putting him in his crib (also firm surface + high contrast mobile distracts him), changing his diaper even if it’s just a little pee, and lastly switching off with my husband really helps keeps us sane and ready to jump back in. You got this Mamas!
