The New born stage – The only thing I distinctly remember of how I felt during that time was the constant crying. The crying had worn me down to the point where I felt like joining in. Yep, mine wasn’t too much of a heavy sleeper, so every time he cried, we tried second guessing what the matter was. I use the formulaic approach that a well-meaning aunt equipped me with. If the baby cries,

1. Check if the baby needs a feed or if fed needs a burp
2. Check for susu / poo poo aka a soiled diaper
3. Baby sleepy?
4. Is it too hot or too cold?
5. Baby’s clothing not comfortable ?

Little did I know about “colic” until my pead said that it can be an actual issue. I immediately changed the bottles to an ant colic bottle from Dr.Browns. But colic can really come in any form. According to research about 40% of all infants have colic. :O  It usually starts between  week 3 and week 6 after baby’s birth and should end by the time the baby is about 3 – 4 months old. If the baby is still crying excessively after that, some other health problem may be to blame.

Like a good millennial mother, I checked to see tips that can help my baby deal with colic and in turn give me some mental peace and shuteye. Here are a few:

1. Lay him on his back in a dark, quiet room.
2. Swaddle him snugly in a light blanky
3. Lay him/her across your lap and gently rub his back.
4. Cycle feet in the air to help aid passing of gas
5. Baby massage.
6. Soak him in a warm bath.
7. Warm ajwain & hing in a  pan and tie it in a muslin cloth and rub it on baby’s belly. Keep it close to his body.

I have literally tried every single one of these and have found the last one especially helpful. Recently I came across something that will be of much help to ones that have a colicky baby.

As per the Indian Ayurveda, Hing (Asafoetida) helps remedy cases of colic,  flatulence & indigestion. It also cures tummy aches, constipation & stomach flu. Mother Sparsh has recently launched this super product called Tummy Roll On, an Ayurvedic solution for babies suffering from colic, indigestion and constipation.
