Colic should go away by the time your baby is 4 months old. Until then, try these tips. They may give both of you some relief.

💡Feeding Tips

💭Is it the breastmilk or formula? Some parents worry that what they feed their baby or what they eat if they are breastfeeding can upset them. Generally it’s not a cause of colic, but it can cause irritation. If you think it might be the cause of your baby's crying, talk to their pediatrician. Mention any vitamin supplements or herbal remedies you are taking. You may even want to keep a diary of the foods you are eating that could be causing discomfort in your baby.

💡 Help them swallow less air. Try a special bottle designed to reduce gas or a ni**le with a smaller hole. Sit them up while they eat so they swallow less air. Remember to burp them during and after feedings.

💭Soothe Your Baby With Sound and Motion
Walk or rock. Motion helps calm babies. Walk around with your baby in a baby carrier (the kind you wear over your chest). The combined warmth and rhythm may lull them to sleep.

Hold and rock them or put them in a swing or stroller. The gentle movement may stop their tears.

If all else fails, secure them in their car seat and go for a ride. Just make sure you’re not so tired it’s unsafe to drive.

💡Use sound to calm your baby. Many babies respond well to the gentle hum of a machine, such as a:

✅ Clothes dryer (But don’t be tempted to put your baby on top of a dryer -- not even in a carrier or car seat -- because they could fall.
✅ Fan
✅ Vacuum
✅ White-noise from a machine or an app
✅ You could also try classical music or a "heartbeat soundtrack" next to the crib.

💡 Calm Your Baby’s Senses
Bright lights and sounds can overwhelm a colicky baby. Your baby may calm down if you:

✅ Lay them on their back in a dark, quiet room.
✅ Swaddle them snugly in a blanket.
✅ Lay them across your lap and gently rub their back.
✅ Try infant massage.
✅ Put a warm water bottle on your baby's belly.
✅ Have them suck on a pacifier.
✅ Soak them in a warm bath

1️⃣ Social and Emotional Development

In preschool, children will learn to strengthen their social and emotional development. Children learn how to compromise, be respectful and problem solve. Preschool provides an environment for children to explore, gain a sense of self, play with peers and build self-confidence. Children learn they can accomplish tasks and make decisions without the help of their parents.

2️⃣ School Readiness
Behavior management is a major part of preschool learning. In preschool, children learn how to be students. Children learn patience, how to raise their hands and take turns. Children also learn how to share the teacher's attention.

Children also learn about routine, following directions and waiting. Quality preschools help children find answers through exploration, experimentation, and conversation. Going to preschool also helps children learn to separate from their parent or caregiver.

3️⃣Language and Cognitive Skills
Children’s language skills are nurtured in a “language-rich” environment. In a classroom setting, teachers help children strengthen their language skills by introducing new vocabulary during art, snack time, and other activities. Teachers engage students with thought-provoking questions to give them opportunities to learn language through singing, talking about books and creative play.

4️⃣Academics
In pre-school pre-math and pre-literacy skills are introduced. Children are taught numbers and letters, but it is taught in a way that is appealing to children at that age. Children sing an alphabet song while following along in a picture book or learn rhymes and chants, which help them to notice the distinct sounds within words.

Teachers read stories to children to encourage their listening, comprehension, and expressive language skills. Matching games, sorting games and counting games build children’s understanding of numbers, and sequences. Putting puzzles together encourages children to notice patterns and to work on problem-solving skills.

Children learn best through activities they find interesting, such as songs, storytime, and imaginative play. Preschool is not about achieving academic success; it is about creating a well-round child who wants to explore and question their surroundings.

5️⃣Self-Confidence
In pre-school, children learn they can actually do things for themselves. Children will learn to wash their hands, go to the bathroom and take off their shoes without an adult doing it for them. Children may have classroom jobs and take pride in helping out in the classroom. Learning new skills helps builds confidence.

💡 A quality early childhood education provides children with cognitive, behavioral, and social skills they don't learn at home. Teachers find it easier to teach a child who possesses a strong preschool education background in language skills, listening comprehension, attention management skills, and a positive attitude toward learning.

🤯11 Superhero Facts You Didn’t Know! 🤯

💡 We know that the Hulk is green. But did you know that originally the Hulk was supposed to be grey in colour? Since green looked better in print, the colour of the Hulk was changed to green.

💡 Superman is a vegetarian. Before 2005 the writers of Superman did not think about this. Since Superman’s senses are sharper than a human’s, he is aware of when a life aura ends. So, he was made a vegetarian.

💡 Remember Michael Jackson? He came very close to owning Marvel Comics because he wanted to play the role of Spider-man. We would have had a break-dancing Spidey then!

💡 We have all been fascinated by Superman’s good looks and his dark hair. But Superman was supposed to be a bald character, obsessed with dominating the world.

💡 Captain America’s Shield beats up villains and provides justice. However, this round shaped shield was originally supposed to be heraldic-shaped. Since this was in use by a patriotic character of a rival comic, Captain America’s shield was made round.

💡 What if your favourite X-men character, Wolverine was to be named after a rodent? Yes, Wolverine was originally the Badger who was supposed to battle with the Hulk.

💡 The 2009 Amazing Spider-man comic has Spidey meet President Barrack Obama, and they even share a fist bump.

💡 Who is Batman’s favourite enemy? Yes, the Joker. The Joker was supposed to die just after the first Batman series. But writers saw potential in the villain and brought him back to mess around with Batman.

💡 Wonder Woman was made out of clay by her mother and was brought to life by the Greek Gods.

💡 In 1989, Marvel comics introduced a superhero whose only superpower was that he couldn’t die, Mr. Immortal. He tried killing himself, but was unsuccessful every time.

After 6 months of age, the pacifier becomes more of a habit than helpful. According to the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP) and the AAP, it is best to wean your child between 6 to 12 months of age to avoid middle ear infections, especially if your child is prone to them

💡 Expert Tips From Real Moms 💡

Getting rid of the pacifier is an epic and challenging event. And while not all things that work for one family will work for another, it’s always nice to get some tips and encouragement from other moms.

✅ Out of sight, out of mind:
Simply removing all pacifiers from your child’s reach and sight may help them forget about it.

✅ Read a “bye-bye binky” book: Find a book that will help your child prepare for the parting of their paci, and read it to them every day. Some mom favorites include “Bye-Bye Binky: Big Kid Power,” “Pacifiers are Not Forever,” and “Bea Gives Up Her Pacifier.”

✅ Give yourself a break: This can be a stressful time for both you and your child, but remember that a little determination and patience will go a long way toward breaking the habit. Many other parents are going through the same thing, so give yourself some grace.

✅ You’ve got this: You’re doing awesome, Mama! That paci will be gone before you know it, even if it doesn’t feel that way yet.

👋 Bye-Bye Binky!👋

Weaning your child from the pacifier can be sticky and challenging, but it’s important to avoid long-term use to reduce the risks of ear infections, dental issues, and speech problems. Make it easy on your child and yourself by weaning gradually with the steps mentioned above.

Container Syndrome is a term used to describe the lack of skill in infants who are not allowed ample movement opportunities. Container Baby Syndrome is the result of an infant being placed in a container for an excessive amount of time during the day. This extended time leads to structural, movement, and behavioral challenges as a result.

Baby containers include baby equipment and items such as:

👣Restrictive playpens
👣Crib
👣Car seats
👣Strollers
👣Bumbo seats
👣Bouncy seats and swings
👣Rockers
👣Nursing cushions
👣Vibrating chairs
👣Jumpers
👣Exersaucers
👣Positioning pillows
👣Slings
👣Floor seats
👣Infant swings
👣Walkers
👣Jumpers

All of the time spent in these baby containers adds up! When in a positioning device such as the ones listed above, little ones are limited in the motor development that results from stretching, wiggling, turning, reaching, and otherwise moving.
