Here are a few things I tried with Averi, somedays they worked somedays they didn't:

Swaddling
Carrying her tummy facing down and walking around the house
Car rides
Swing
Bouncy seat
Hair dryer noise
Vacuum noise
Walking around with her in a carrier while vacuuming
Warm baths

For gas I tired Mylicon and Gripe water that didn't appear to make any difference.

Also I tried colic calm when I was at the end of my rope. It's pricey at 19.99 per bottle and looks like tar and while stain everything but seemed to make a big difference for Averi.

Also once thing to keep in mind for possible causes of colic is milk sensitivity and acid reflux. Averi had both. She was on Nutramigen which made a big difference with the colic.

I always hear stories of my aunt leaving the vacuum cleaner on for my cousin when she was a baby.

I used to keep the dust buster running during dinner so I could sit and eat for 5 minutes.

colic calm wow ive never heard of that, all those things are good, the gas drops are kind of working i give them to her at every feeding but i can definately tell when i miss them i think all they do is help her toot out her gas to help relieve a little pressure...
i didnt even think to try noise but i bet she would like that because she likes to be shhhhhushed right next to her ear pretty loudly...
and we have her on similac for gas and fussiness but i heard that it usually takes a good 4 weeks to be able to tell if its helping or not and shes only been on just formula for 1 week

Thank you!
