For nursing moms: Try cutting out all dairy and soy for a week, then slowly add some back in. If the colic comes back then it's probably a temporary milk-soy intolerance that they will outgrow. In the meantime, avoid dairy and soy for at least the first three months. Most babies will outgrow the intolerance by a year.

My 6 week old son has really bad colic. My mother suggested to give him Cumin, that's what she used to give me.
Boil a cup of water, add to one teaspoon of Cumin seeds, let stand for 15 minutes, drain and cool. Add sugar if needed. You can give it straight out of the bottle, dropper or add a few teasppons into formula. Works wonders!!! My baby stoped crying immediately.
***my mother-in-law suggested Star Anise for colic as well, I researched it and found that the FDA issued a warning for herbal teas made from Star Anise, it has been linked to seizures and other problems in infants. So I wouldn't use it...but try the Cumin, it works extremely good.

Well when my horses get colic (the same twisted intestines/impaction in the intestines as infants) we give them a bubbly carbonated beverage like orange/coke/pepsi soda. This bubbly goodness clears up all problems. Safe for infants MAY include bubbly flavored water. So the sugar intake is not as bad as a can of Coke-a-cola. Oils & Minerals are also give no horses to clear up their colic.

Melt 1 starlight mint into 1 bottle of hot water and add sugar if needed. (usually no sugar is needed) By the time the mint has melted (not necessarily all the way), it is cool enough to feed to baby. I used this on all 3 of my colicky kids! IT WORKS!!!
