Expert Q&A
![]() | ||
| By Michael F. Wasserman General Pediatrician | ||
What are the treatments for colic?
Treatments include swaddling the baby, soothing voices, "white noise" (such as putting the baby in an infant seat on top of a running clothes dryer), baby swings and sometimes even short time use of pain medication. Since the cause of colic is not well defined, it is hard to have a specific treatment plan. Consult your healthcare provider."
