I can't get the nap guide😮
Won't cluster feed make a baby overweight..
As a doula and lactation consultant I have to say the contents of this video are acually GOLD! Moms, save this!🤩💚👌👏👏👏
Being a doctor and being a mom to 3 boys I am still unable to console my premature newborn. This video is really helpful. Thank you for sharing your knowledge 🙏
It's my pleasure!
Not alone,registered midwife here with no idea what am doing with my newborn.
I can help others thru their newborn stages,but with mine,i seem to always end up stressed out and needing validation and plenty of help at every step.
I sometimes end up getting more frastruated and fussy than my bby
Your channel is literally my life saver. From learning how to spend time with my new born during wake windows to now learning how to get him to crawl 😊❤ thanks emma
Wow, thank you!
Breastfeeding is a life saver for difficult times 🙂
M breastfeeding but my baby crys every 10 minit even at night
New father here . Thank you
For this video. ❤
Thank you! Congrats on the new arrival! Always great to hear from a dad who's watching :)
I would like to add also use Baby carrier. They can have body contact and swinging motion and you have free hands either for a walk or house work😅
Yes! My baby refused to sleep except when she was held. She would cry and cry and cry and scream until I picked her up. So a carrier was a life saver indeed. While she was sleeping on my chest I could still get house work done.
But should I offer the breast if the colic is caused by what I ate? I’ve had a chicken roast (with cauliflower, beans, etc) and didn’t realise it could affect my newborn. I’ve been considering to thaw some milk from a few days ago to avoid feeding him more of the milk that’s probably causing the issue in first place. 🤔
Can you make a video on starting solids for gassy Baby
Great video! But if none of these work, (as it happened to us), try Elimination Communication 😃 Many colicky babies are just in need of that!
Thank you for talking about chiro! I shudder at the thought of it (from a fellow OT)
Me too! 😬
This was really helpful. Thank you
Glad it was helpful!
What are the 4 holds?
Thanks for sharing 🙏
My pleasure!
I needed this 🙏🏾🙏🏾
I hope it helps!
@EmmaHubbard, is Bowen therapy considered chiropractic care?
Our little one was horrendously colicky from 2-4 weeks and a pacifier helped wonders. She was so much happier when she could suck and calm herself. Just had to be absolutely sure she wasn't hungry before offering it!
Baby wearing worked wonders too!
Thanks so much for sharing these tips!
We never used a pacifier with our first but our second was so fussy that we finally resorted to one. Best decision we made!
Same with my baby.
How did you make sure baby is not hungry before giving her pacifier? I'm asking because mine is bottle fed with breast milk, doesn't latch. So tye pacifier might mimick the feeding bottle?
Hey Emma, thank you for this video. I have a pink noise machine from tomiee tippie can I use that ? Or do you think white noise machine is better ? Currently 34 weeks pregnant trying to get everything to get my baby to sleep ☺️ Thank you x
Thanks alot for the tips
Happy to help
My baby fuzzy during evening hours, not too much crying cos I had to rock her but during feeding time she cries even as she sucks and twists. Can it be colic?
thank you 🤗💮🌺🥀
You’re welcome 😊
Dr my daughter is 4 and half month old and now she has a colic problem
Another thing you can do is just feed them/burp them (so they don’t cry because of a tummy ache), then take them a lettuce bath, A lettuce bath help with new born babies skin pilling/baby acne/cradle cap because they’re getting used to the world. After giving them a bath, get them, all snuggled in the sleep right through the night probably wake up once because of the wet diaper or hungry. And it’s 100% safe, won’t hurt if you give it a try! (let me know if this came in handy, you need more information, and or got any questions)
A lettuce bath??
Do u mean 3 hrs straight or separate hrs ? Like
Our baby is now 4 months old and she just stared 5 days now just crying for no apparent reason, can she begin Colic at 4 months? Both my wife and I are finding this very challenging, and advice for a 4-month-old would be appreciated. She eats and sleeps well, but if you are not holing her in your arms and moving around by standing and walking she just cries and cries!!!!
Has there been any changes like her bottle or feeding times or amounts?
Yes, early collics start 3weeks after birth but what you have to do is to put drops of shaphaz collics natural remedy on the breast then breast feed
@@shaphazwalktosuccess5439hmmm interest coincidence that your name and the name of this supposed miracle product are the same
Gas trouble peaks at 4 to 6 months. My baby looks more restless trying to get rid of flatulence . He is so gassy and Doctor has started some meds
Change her before feeding than after when she passes out. Give pacifier too
My mom used the wall technique on me apparently it works wonders for shutting up kids pretty sure she could have been a QB for any NFL team back in the 80s man what a different time 😂
The what
What happen if they fight the swaddling and get grumpy
Some babies like their hands coming up to their face so you could try swaddling them with their hands coming to their face.
Good video but why does all of the yte babies look old? 😢
Welp….after four months of doing EVERYTHING I’ve finally able to soothe baby cause Colic is gone 😅 .
My baby is still fussy and crying at certain times of the day without anything obvious. She's 7.5 months old, so I can't swaddle her. I'm not sure about nursing her like i used to constantly, as I'm enjoying less time nursing now that she's on solids. She does tons of tummy time and we try to do our best to follow a schedule, but she would sometimes miss her naps due to whatever discomfort that's bothering her. We've been rejected by public healthcare, and GPs were giving us Panadol for advice. We'll be seeing a private pediatrician only in a months time 😢 I don't know why it's so difficult to get a doctor! Sorry about this, just very difficult to deal with this for so long and getting no help from anybody!!! Plunket or GP totally useless
It's so touching dear, but what am sure of is that, the problem is all about the congetion that's in the babies tummy, try giving your baby shaphaz collics natural remedy and trust me , you will thank me after
Did u try the magic Merlin sleepsuit it helps
Massage is the answer
@@inspiration1575this
So sorry but try this I believe, it will help.
Give her a warm bathe
Massage her with Almond oil, cold pressed from the pharmacy
Swaddle her
Put her in a room temp of 20 degrees centigrade
Pray over your baby and ask God for help
Your baby could have a lot of air in her tummy so ask the pharmacy baby calming drink against gas and air. I use Lefax cause I am in Germany. Trust me, that will help. My baby went through the same scenario
We beeded this a year ago
Hopefully, if you decide to have another bub it comes in handy!
Can I have my baby swaddled almost all day? I swaddle my baby at night and it works but I feel like she gets tired of it after 8-10 hrs
If the baby ( 1 week) is not crying for more than 3 hours on consecutive days but at regular intervals shows signs of discomfort of tummy. Would that still classify as colic?
In my case, it did. She had that since day 2 or 3 after C-section.
@@reeafu9290same for me. Mines 3weeks old now, and ive managed to stave off the colic pain by regular once a day probiotics of biogaia and gripe water as needed. Mines strictly formula fed since i can’t breastfeed
Does that mean that colic is the same as the period of purple crying? Or are they different?
Great question! Colic is more of an outdated term that’s been replaced with the period of purple crying
Is it okay to do cluster feeding even though baby is fat?
Fat baby = healthy baby
Yes, feed your baby as much as your baby wants to eat! Babies are supposed to be fat!
While watching your clip, my 2months old baby is crying so aggressive
I was a colicky baby, but when I was five I found out I had chronic clinical depression, I’m not sure if that has anything to do with it.
Breatfeeding mothers should watch what they eat. Another important issue
I swaddle him and he cry more
Same
My baby hates swaddling 😭
Maybe try with just one arm out if you haven't already, this works for my swaddle hating baby.
Will this work for 1 Month old baby
Yep these tips should work for your little one.
No entreteinment ,no shaking divices only mom arms
Emma, do one year olds suffer from colic? My little one has been crying at night for some days now and she's usually uneasy. Could it be colic?
Hi! At this age we wouldn’t describe it as colic. If you are concerned though about their crying then check in with your little one’s doctor.
They really do and you can also prevent them, just because people are used to treating than prevention
I just tried
1.swaddle : he reject it and became more fussy
2.breastfeeding: he reject it and became more fussy
3.warm bath he likes it but return to crying soon after getting out from bath
4.car he likes it and get sleep but once i reached home he get awake and the colic return
5. He didnt like pacifier
6.he hates rocking seat it makes him more fussy
Any thing more i can do 😢
Check to see if your little one has gas.
When he's in bath have a cloth on body with warm water on belly and right after bath skin to skin and don't make him cold anything qfter bath
Haha Same story of my daughter even I tired many colic drops as well nothing works for here
All these videos are useless, and every piece of advice on the internet is useless
When my baby is fussy refuses having breast milk wants only formula milk.
Is that what colic is? Why do people confuse it with trapped gas?
I think because the bub might look like they are in pain and they bring their legs up people assume it is gas.
So if it’s gas what one can do ?? 😢
is colic short for melancholic?
Google

MY BABY HATES EVERYTHING 😩😩😩🤦🏾♀️
So does my granddaughter
My baby feels uncomfortable in swaddling blanket 😢
Worst😢😓😊
It can certainly be very challenging and exhausting! Hopefully some of these strategies work for you and your little one.
I tried every method I was told for my newborn niece and nothing work. But best tip I ever used for a colic newborn; I put her in her crib which is safe, closed door, put in earphones and let her scream herself to sleep after turning herself into a beetroot and kicking. I obviously still fed her, bathed, diaper changed etc, but apart from that, no soothing or holding, she screamed for weeks on end and now finally calming down. Newborns get adjusted if they know another human being is going to ruin their physical and mental health to hear a screeching baby who sounds like lawnmower. Don't care if this is harsh.
You've taught her that no matter what help or comfort she needs while she's distressed you're not going to be there to do it for her.
Your tip is not a tip for a colicky baby, - a tip for how to look after you when she won't be quiet, because you can't bear the crying. I've had a severely colicky baby and I know how hard it is to cope with the crying and distress. Hiwever when a baby is continually left on it's own to cry for a long time every day for weeks and is then silent, the baby silences because of emotional neglect. Extended crying is a cry for help, pain or soothing. It's how they communicate. This type of baby who'se cries are ignored over a long period of time give up trying to communicate their distress and suffer in silence.
You didn't solve a colicky baby. You solved your need not to look after a colicky baby. Babies have emotional needs as well ad the physical needs you say are looked after. Please look after the emotional needs of this baby.
@@PrincessGold1 I'm aware they cry for a reason, but she mostly cried because she wanted to be held 24/7. I took her to countless doctors incase she was unwell, but nope, nothing wrong, some babies want to be held 24/7 and some babies have no problem sleeping in crib. She even wanted to be held during her naps, she would fall asleep and as soon as I put her down, she would scream bloody murder, I even tried using a carrier, but nope, not good enough. I have zero help and I am all alone, I cannot sleep while holding her, I tried and a human being cannot survive on zero sleep. At one point I got so sleep deprived I fell asleep while driving and nearly ended up in a car accident with her in the car, after that, no more. There is absolutely no benefit in slowly killing myself because she wants to be held day and night. She stopped crying for a while and now she started again, but I close door, let herself cry herself to sleep after she screams for 4-6 hours and eventually calms down. Unless you can give me advice on how a human being can survive on ZERO sleep, then you cannot tell me to 'not' emotionally neglect a baby.
You do not deserve that baby. How very sad. This is abuse
@@katherinejohnson7094 it is not abuse
@Elizabeth_yv6bn This is terribly sad, i feel very sorry you both you and baby and hope things have gotten better for you. I have a extremely fussy baby as well ( 6 weeks old ) and she is a big crier especailly in the evenings and yes sometimes I need a break after holding her all day, with breastfeeding I basically became her human pacifier and it's exhausting. If she's having an episode I will walk around the house with her, sing songs, try playing her soft music, hold her in different positions, try doing bicycle pedals or burp her if she seems to have gas pains. different things work on different days. I will let her cry maybe 10 15 minutes but then I pick her back up. If she's crying to the point of screaming I know she needs something even if its just comfort and I want her to have that. But screaming for 4 to 6 hours is def not normal. Maybe try co sleeping, there are safe ways and it could mean both sleep and comfort for you and baby. I can understand how hard it is with no support but leaving the baby to scream for that long must also be exhausting and traumatizing for both her and yourself.
