Boil one cup of water then pour over a teaspoon of anise, fennel, or cumin seeds. Let sit no longer than 15 minutes, then after cooled enough for your infant, let him or her drink. Works wonders.

You can also use fresh mint, but only use one or two small leaves, and follow the above directions.

I found that when my baby was colic, his grandmother made peppermint tea, with real peppermint. Boil the tea leaves and strain and then add water to the bottle, let cool and give to baby. Also I found that a warm bath helped too, or even a warm towel(put in microwave) and then on baby's abdomen helped also. Gripe water...Didn't work at all. Doctor also said that colic only lasts until 4 months..and what do ya know...baby turned 4 months and POOF was gone!!

colic- 2teaspoon of soda pop it helps the baby burp up the gas. And don't heat the bottles, when you heat up the bottles the heat is what causes the gas to build up. room temp is fine.

Get plenty of vitamin B6. Good sources are creamed brown rice or brewer's yeast in applesauce.

give the baby 1 or 2 tsp of chamomile tea in their bottle during each feeding i did this with both of my babies and you will notice an immediate difference. I was very unsure of doing it but my mother in law insisted and it worked wonders
