10 Symptoms and Treatments of Colic

6. Treatment: Practice Proper Feeding Techniques

When you feed your baby, make sure he or she is sitting up or being held in an upright position. That way, the infant will not swallow air when eating. If you use a bottle, ensure that the holes are the proper size because if they are too small, the baby will swallow more air. Burping your baby afterward is also important. Your little one should sit upright against your shoulder; as you support the head and neck, rub his or her back and until you hear air come through. Spitting up some milk is normal. More frequent, but smaller feedings may help a baby with colic, too.
