Note on Colic:

Colic is when a babies cries uncontrollably.  If you notices your baby is crying for a sustained period of time (2-3 hours or so) and especially towards the afternoon / evening there’s a good chance they may be suffering from colic (especially if you have already ruled wind/ hunger / tiredness / nappy change / rashes  / sickness. ) Remember it is a very common for babies to suffer from colic, we don’t know what causes it, but the main thing is, you’re not doing anything wrong !!

If you are concerned, I would always advise talking to you’re midwife / GP. 

We always want to promote a baby led massage, however babies suffering for colic are a *slight*exception to the rule. Try the Colic relieving routine (fully clothed, no oils.)to see if it helps to relieve symptoms - and also to try as a preventative measure.

At first 2-3 times per day while baby is happy, and after a few days 1-2 times per day (for at least 3 days in a row) and also when baby is suffering episodes of colic. – Once through, and either stop, or if baby looks to be relaxing once more again.

Feel free to print out the colic handout to quickly have to hand :)
