Treatment
Colic is selflimiting and will resolve with time. o Parental counseling and support may be an effective strategy for reducing parental anxiety and infant crying. o Feeding techniques that may reduce airswallowing include breastfeeding at one breast (as opposed to equal feeding time at each breast), using a curved bottle with a plastic bag (to hold the formula or pumped breast milk), and keeping the infant in an upright position. o Reduction of stimulation (e.g., reducing noise and light) may be helpful to calm the baby.
