Comments on: How to Tell if Your Baby has Colic http://pamperyoubaby.com/2009/09/how-to-tell-if-your-baby-has-colic/ One stop all you need to know about babies.

I have been fascinated with the "diaper free" movement (no pun intended) for a few years now, unfortunately *after* my 5 children passed through this stage of developement. The question being: is there a possible connection between colic and diaper-wearing? On one hand, I would tend to say no because of the sheer number of children in the industrial countries who wear diapers and do NOT have colic. But as you know, this is not an adequate answer for me! I wonder if colic is a phenomena known in traditional family settings where diapers are unheard of? In India, for example? You have given me something to think about and search answers for. Thanks for stopping by. Perhaps another reader has some insights for us here? 1000Sunny,

I have one baby who always peed and pooped as soon as the nappy came off. He did show all the symptoms of a colic. I have one who didn't mind whether there was a nappy or not, who didn't have colics. And I have one who shows the same bahaviour as no1 if he does have a nappy ( he doesn't like using it). This one has never had any signs of a colic, and he nearly never wears a nappy. He certainly never has to use it, I usually use it as a backup, when my concentration is elsewhere. Has anybody experienced similar behaviours in relation to colics?

I have a question for you: did you find that swaddling your colicky/crying baby was a help? Javamom,

Our kitchen fan, with its rhythmic, loud swishing noise, which I've been told simulates the sounds of the womb, often calmed our fussiest bundle of joy relatively quickly. It is one tip I share often with many new parents. And the other tip? Don't dispair, this too will end.
