If you have a car, then put the baby in a carrycot and drive bub around the block a few times. This really helps a colicky baby settle down. Having something to do with your hands (steering wheel) also helps oneself settle a bit inside. If no car, then put baby in pram and walk around the block a few times with bub instead. Warmly wrapped of course. Same effect. Also, we've all been there with colicky bubs. Part of baby wrangling, and not the easiest part. People talk about changing nappies, but colic management is far tougher on the parent(s). And so is teething. Remember this difficult situation WILL end. Heart goes out to you. Stay focussed on what's going right.
