What should one do for colic?
Ensure that you burp your baby adequately after each feed. Also remember, do not feed your baby every time he cries as baby may cry due to other causes such as soiled diaper, is feeling hot or cold or baby just needs to cuddled.
If the baby is having lot of bloating with abdominal distension, you can massage the lower part of stomach. Certain agents such as carminatives and gripe water may also be useful to decrease the amount of gas. Also if you are breastfeeding your child, you must avoid eating spicy and oily food.
Do not worry about the crying as most babies outgrow this condition by 5-6 months of age.

Toilet Training in Children
Parents often want to toilet train their children as soon as possible. However, do not start toilet training until both you (parents) and your child are ready. If you try to rush it you'll have more problems and toilet training will take a longer time. Usually your child is ready by the age of 18 to 24 months.
