No mother can see her child in pain ☹️☹️☹️ so here are some simple remedies to soothe your baby’s colic ⭐⭐⭐


✨ Hing Massage -✨

Hing or asafoetida is a spice that is commonly used in traditional Indian cooking and it also possesses antiseptic and antibacterial properties. It helps to treat stomach problems, indigestion, and irritable bowel syndrome. It has been used since times immemorial to cure colic in babies.

How to use: Just mix a pinch of hing in lukewarm water and dip a cotton ball in it. Now massage it on your baby’s tummy in a clockwise direction. Avoid touching the baby’s navel.


✨ Fennel Oil - ✨

Fennel or saunf is known to relieve gas, relax the intestines and eliminate discomfort in the digestive tract. All these properties make it an apt way to relieve colic in babies.


How to use: Massage your baby’s tummy with a few drops of fennel oil.


✨Swaddling - ✨

One of the best ways to calm a colicky baby is to swaddle him/her. Even if your baby resists swaddling, he/she feels extremely secure once inside the swaddle. Swaddling can also help to calm your baby when he/she has colic.

How to use: Wrap your baby snugly in a swaddle and see the difference in some time.


✨Peppermint Oil - ✨

Peppermint or pudina lends a very refreshing taste to food and is known for its antispasmodic properties. Peppermint oil is considered to be another effective remedy in treating baby colic.

How to use: Mix peppermint oil with a few drops of coconut oil and massage on the baby’s tummy to give a cooling effect.


✨Warm Bath - ✨

A warm water bath can work like a miracle to soothe your baby’s colic. Warm water helps to ease the pain and provides relief to your baby.

How to use: Fill a small tub with warm water and allow your baby to sit in it for a little while. In the winters, you may just put a washcloth dipped in warm water on your baby’s tummy to prevent him/her from catching a cold.


🙏 Note: If your baby doesn’t feel better in spite of the above remedies, you may contact your paediatrician for further investigation and treatment.
