A colic baby is generally described as a
frequently crying baby and they cry for long durations.
The cause of the crying can
stem from wet diapers, being hungry, not being comfortable or improper
temperature, but are usually beyond these common issues for all babies.
Many
pediatricians have started stressing the 5S to help comfort babies and their colic

Swaddling is the first step in soothing a baby because it
will try to remind a newly born baby of their time in the mother womb.
A swaddle
baby will be tightly wrapped (but are still comfortable) in a swaddle blanket to
keep them warm and cozy.

will conjure up good memories.

baby who is not use to the cold world that they arrived in.
The 2nd S is for Side or Stomach ho
