The 411 on Natural Colic Remedies

Any parent whose baby has suffered from colic can tell you that colic is one of the most excruciating experiences ever imaginable. Nothing is worse than seeing one’s baby in pain and not being able to help take it away. Finding relief for colic quickly becomes a toppriority. There are many different colic remedies that may come to the rescue for your particular baby. Each baby is unique and may only respond to some or a combination of colic remedies. Unfortunately, parents may have to use the old trial and error method to determine which provide the greatest amount of relief for their little colic sufferer. One thing is certain the days of “waiting it out” are long one for those determined to find an answer. There is no need to suffer needlessly along with baby. If you’ve tried all proper feeding and burping techniques and baby is still crying, try the following list of the most effective remedies available:


Music / Sound – Traditional lullabies, classical music composed for infants and heartbeat/womb CDs are very popular external remedies that relax many babies suffering from colic. You can find some particularly good ones at the SlumberSounds web site. Some parents have had great success by placing baby in carseat on top of running dishwasher, washing machine, dryer or near running vacuum cleaner. A gentle “shhhhhhh”ing sound in baby’s ear can work magic, as can soft whispers and humming or singing.


Diet – Bottlefed babies with colic may show improvement if switched to a different formula, such as soy. The mothers of breastfed babies may have to pay close attention to their own diet to make sure that babies are not having negative reactions to certain foods. Try eliminating the following common culprits one at a time for a week to see if there are any signs of improvement for baby: dairy, caffeine, chocolate and gas-producing foods such as broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, onions, peppers, melons, tomatoes, citrus fruits, beans and peanuts.


Gripe Water – Be sure to check the ingredients before buying a gripe water. Many claim to be natural but include artificial ingredients and preservatives. Colicky infants’ digestive systems certainly do not need any of these potential irritants. Some gripe waters are not very helpful.


Warm Aromatherapy Bath / Massage – Add a few drops of lavender to a warm bath and follow with the soothing touch of massage. Focus massage on the tummy area to relieve painful trapped gas. You can research baby massage techniques on the web or pick up a book on the subject. A good one to try is The Practical Art of Baby Massage by Peter Walker. You can buy lovely lavender, chamomile and fennel massage oils specifically designed for baby massage on the Web. There is also a popular baby massage tool called “Snukkles” which may work well for you.


Swaddling – Babies are often soothed when swaddled or held close to a parents chest and heartbeat since they are reminiscent of the comfort and safety of the womb. Newborn babies are soothed in nurseries with swaddling. Techniques on folding soft, stretchy blankets are easy to learn. Find instructions and diagrams online or pick up a book/ magazine on the topic. A good ready-made wrap to try is “Swaddleme”, easy to find on the Web.


Motion – Walking, rocking and movement are very comforting to most infants. The good old rocking chair may be all it takes. Some parents have been known to push stroller or drive around in car until baby falls asleep. Try putting baby in an infant chest carrier or sling so that your hands can be free. Walk with baby facing down across arm with hand under abdomen,applying gentle pressure. This position is often referred to as “the colic hold”. Many babies like to be outdoors. Almost all babies love swings. Try a combination of the above to see what helps soothe baby the best.

I sat in an alley hiding from whatever went on in the civilized world I felt like I deserved to be in a habitat with rats and garbage as I felt like I blended in with it all like camouflage. I didn’t know what my next move was now that I was no longer along side aiding a villain into bringing the world to hell and destruction . I sat in that alley for hours with my head between my legs just thinking , crying, suffering from the aftermath of the sh!t I’ve done to people I even thought of committing suicide because I didn’t want to live with the guilt but If I was meant to die today god would have let Earnest murder the soul out of me just like those victims we took out together. I knew Earnest would get desperate trying to escape the police riot so I left him an easy escape and one final parting gift showing him that I was a good pupil. I made my way from the ground walking memorized by my life not paying attention to my present or future plots to add on to my timeline I just walked wherever my body would go with my mind clogged with sorrow my face covered with the expression of a drug addict surviving an overdose.

Dear Earnest “Rubber face” Redding :
I figured you never planned to kill the little girl , well I know you planned to but you wanted to see If I would go against you to save her and you knew I would. All of that “ You have 30 mins to get here “ shit was just a bluff , a killer’s way to make a crime scene more dramatic. So I took my time , you were on my watch. Haha, you’re going to love this J I rigged your getaway car with a bomb so 10 secs into your escape it shall send you to your final destination…hell..haha final destination I always knew how you were obsessed with violent movies so you based the crimes that we did together off of the characters. Final destination was my choice in killing you so if you get this letter you’re one lucky son of a bitch but if you don’t I guess things happen that cant save your ass …I doubt that you’ll get this letter because you’re in a rush and have no time or reason to look under the passenger’s seat that’s empty of me to warn you.

Sincerely ,
The killer’s Apprentice
P.S I learned from the best J

I don’t know If Earnest survived I just know that I would never go back to a life of crime. Why would I ? I had 21 million in cash. I was always about the money before the crime and the lifestyle , I never wanted to go down in history for famous crimes committed by a 21 year old kid and a 34 year old guy obsessed with crime using the kid as a sidekick and tutoring him along the way as they robbed , destroyed lives , and menaced there way around Hollywood ,California as some of the most memorable movie characters like Tony Montana and Manny , Batman and The Joker , Louie and Lestat aka Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise in “Interview with a Vampire”. I found myself waiting for god to punish me for all the shit I’ve done , so I lived life like it was my last day every chance I got, playing “Forever Young“ by Alphaville thinking of how Earnest played a song before we did our crimes that went along with the scenery , well I was waiting to be 21 forever. I sky dived thinking the parachute wouldn’t release and I would keep falling. I swam with sharks thinking which one will eat me but nothing ever went wrong for me. I bungee jumped on the way down I smiling the whole way feeling like I was falling forever I visualized I was a bird flying holding my arms out like the scene in titanic where Jack goes “ I’m the king of the world!!“ but also thought god would make it so that the rope would snap on the way down but I was pulled back up laughing going “oh shit“ with excitement. I wanted to die that time the worst way I could , I was lonely , and had to live with guilt. I always thought why am I not dead yet ? I didn’t have the heart to take my own life so I was waiting for an accident to kill me. After awhile I found myself celebrating my 22nd birthday with friends and girlfriend at a local club in Hollywood.“ Hey Calvin a clown gave me this to give to you earlier.“ I received an anonymous gift In a box with a card dangling from it. “What ? A clown ? “ I smiled. “ You can open it , David.” I saw that he looked nervous. “ I mean its your–” I cut him off yelling . “ JUST OPENING THE FUCKING GIFT!” he slightly glistened with sweat from his forehead whipping it away with his leather jacket. “ Wait hold on a sec before you start” I said. I looked at my girlfriend Sasha sitting on the coach. “ go wait in the car I’ll be out and ready to leave and just a few.” “ but I wanna see what it is.“ “Just go to the fucking car!!!“ she looked at me suspiciously. “ ok, I guess” she said stomping out. I turned back to David. “ Now open it.” he fumbled with the box. “ Uh um maybe I should start with the card firs
this is part of the ending , not even the whole story. Its about a boy with a rough childhood becoming an apprentice or pupil of a criminal , killer , villlian. He’s telling you the point of view from a killer’s sidekick prespective. He’s 21 HELPING a 34 YEAR OLD failed movie director in hollywood commit murders and armed robbery..etc. for the money but the director just wants the fame that he couldnt get through film by wanting to be famous killer like the murders that happened in hollywood like the manson, the black dahlia..but the boy just wants money and he starts to the killer as a friend somewhat and a father figured.
