Colic Baby Bootcamp - Parent Survival Tips
Surviving a baby with colic truly deserves an award of some
sort. The relentless screaming can really drive you to the edge.
Unfortunately for the parents of a colic baby, most of the focus
of surviving is usually geared towards how to relieve the
suffering for your baby. But, what about your suffering?
Here are 10 tips on HOW to keep your sanity while enduring a fit
of colic.
1.Buy a baby monitor with lights that indicate the level of
noise coming from your baby. Take this monitor with you
everywhere, put it on mute and get as far away from the
screaming as possible. Physically check on your baby every now
and then to make sure everything is alright. When the levels on
the lights stop dancing, chances are your baby has calmed down.
2.Put on headphones. Listen to music. Keep the above monitor
with you to determine when baby has calmed down. 3.Take a
shower. The warm water will relax you, and the noise will drown
out the ear-piercing crying. 4.Go for a walk. Exercise is great
for alleviating tension and the motion might settle the baby
down. 5.If possible, find a sitter and leave. Go shopping, run
errands, go work out, go for a walk. Get some distance between
you and the baby. Don
