Wind is the most common problem in babies that is confused with colic. One method I have used with some success for baby wind is to put the baby tummy down across one hand, then put the palm of my other hand on baby's back and gently wiggle from side to side. this brings wind up really quickly compared to patting the back.

One issue regarding the Baby's Bliss Gripe Water...make sure you view their recall information online for their Apple Flavored Gripe Water (coded 26952V; expiration date: October 2008). They recently had a voluntary recall which was initiated immediately after the FDA reported finding Cryptosporidium, a parasite that may cause intestinal infections. This was only in the Apple Flavored Baby’s Bliss Gripewater, but if you have this particular flavor matching the mentioned code please discontinue use immediately and call their toll-free hotline (877-457-4955).

I FOUND THAT LIGHTLY BOUNCING THE BABY (IN AN UPRIGHT POSITION WITH THE BABY HELD SECURLY AND CLOSE TO YOUR CHEST) AND LIGHTLY PATTING THE BABY ON THE LOWER BACK WILL PRODUCE A BURP AFTER FEEDING THAT WILL PREVENT COLIC, AND COMFORT THE CHILD. 2. MY CHILD HAD A HARD TIME ADJUSTING TO DAY AND NIGHT. FOR A TIME MY WIFE AND I WOULD TAKE TURNS LETTING THE BABIES LAY ON OUR CHEST UNTIL THEY FELL ASLEEP (THEY HEAR AND FEEL YOUR HEART BEAT, MUCH LIKE WHEN THEY ARE IN THE WOMB AND RELAX AND FALL ASLEEP VERY QUICKLY!
