Hyland's Colic Tablets worked well for my DD. I got them at the health food store.

To be honest, nothing worked for our son. We just rocked him and carried him in a sling everywhere. We tried all of the gas drops and what have you but it didn't do anything for us. Good luck.

we massaged our colicky kids belly nonstop. folding and unfolding her legs into her chest to help her a little. I hope your little ones colic doesn't last 9 mnths like ours did   that was miserable. lots and lots of walking, rocking, and singing seemed to help a little bit. we did gas drops too mylicon I think it was called.

Have you tried BF? If it is possible for you then this may help. If you need support your local La Leche League may be able to help baby to get a good latch and give you tips on increaasing your supply.
Some kids just have colic and don't get over it for a few weeks or months regardless of what they eat. But others have a food sensitivity. If you can only FF then ask your pedi to reccomend something without any soy, dairy or wheat in it as these are the most common allergies. It is very difficult with FF to avoid alergens because the ingredients are all very mysterious. If you BF as well then eliminate these things from your diet to see if it is an allergy.

Remember to hold baby as much as you can through the day - wearing him in a sling helps and try cosleeping as well if you aren't already. Some babies just need to be held pretty much 24/7 and that is okay.

DR BROWNS BOTTLES! my son had the worst colic ever! After 6 Weeks someone told my mum about the bottles, and I swear to the guy upstairs, after his first feed from them he was a TOTALLY different baby! Good luck! Make sure u get some timeout for yourself too, colic can be painfully exhausting for parents aswell as babies x
