Loud white noise helped somewhat with ours. Somewhat.

And Benadryl helped a lot. Check with your pediatrician first though.

This but the generic is much cheaper. Simethicone is the generic name.Should be able to find the drops at CVS, Walgreens, or Walmart for less than $5 per bottle.
If you're bottle feeding, it's easiest to just add to formula with each bottle. ETA 4 kiods, this worked wonders.

On the worst days, a shot of Mylicon and Benedryl if desired.

Then strap their car seat to the dryer or washing machine and shut the door.

Donnetol was the only thing that worked for my son. He had a terrible bout with collick that no other otc medication would touch. Good luck, man....I do not envy your spot one bit.

We just started the Dupois last week and it’s doing us some good. It’s not magic but it helps for sure

speaking from experience, do yourself a huge favor, don't pass go, don't collect $200, throw any and all formula that you are feeding that child down the toilet, head straight to the store and get soy based formula, your kid has milk protein allergies (colick), you and your family can thank me in the morning after y'all sleep all night...

Melvin makes a great point... alimentum.

But sometimes even that doesn’t fix.

Sometimes it goes on for years.

Parents with ‘normal ‘ babies will offer simple stupid advice.

Sometimes your baby is different.

Many many years ago, the docs prescribed Paregoric for colic. It worked. I later learned it's opium based and I think it's been outlawed, at least for babies.

The problem might stem from the formula. With our second kid we changed the formula from Similac with iron to Enfamil without iron. Didn't completely negate colic, but came close. None of our kids could tolerate formula with iron.

Yeah it does. They outgrow it, move from baby to toddler to adolescence. One day you look up, and they’re in law school. And despite all that they’ve become, you’d trade every dollar you ever made to hear that same baby cry one more time and know that you’re her greatest chance at comfort.

My daughter was diagnosed with reflyx and put on an antacid. That really changed our lives. Y’all should ask your Dr if antacids are right for you.

This. My son is almost 5 months and we experienced the same thing. The acid reflux really messes with them at this age.
