I know that new Mothers are VERY hesitant about anything us OLD FOLKS reccommend, but honestly this works. Doctors aren't there when a young mother is dealing with a screaming baby. My Mother suggested this when my oldest had colic for nearly 3 months.

She suggested putting a hard peppermint in HOT water and letting him take 2-3 drinks of it from his bottle. He'd let out a huge BURP and it would give him relief. Believe me, I used this with my other two, and they're still alive!

This really works. I used it 26 years ago for my extremely colicky son. Something else that helps is wrapping a baby's belly snugly with a receiving blanket or anything that's about that size and holding him against you. I learned this from a friend who takes care of babies in the hospital.

I want to add for safeties sake to let the hot water cool to body temperature before giving this to the baby. Another way to do this is to use peppermint tea instead of the candy. That way they get the peppermint without getting any sugar. Peppermint tea is very soothing and good for stomach upsets.
