Looking after a baby who has colic can be a very upsetting time and parents will look for reassurance and support.

You can advise parents to :-

• Hold or cuddle the baby
• Sit or hold your baby upright during feeding them to reduce intake of air
• Wind your baby after feeds
• Gently rock the baby over the shoulder
• Pushing them in their pram or rocking their moses basket/cot
• Give the baby a warm bath
• Use white noise to help distract them
• Keep feeding the baby as normal
• Use anti-colic drops

You may want to refer parents to other professionals for advice and support such as:-

• Cry-sis helpline - 0845 1228669
• Refer them to their health visitor
• Talk to their friends and family for support
