I tried everything from changing her formula to installing a white noise maker on her crib. Nothing seemed to work. Nobody really knows why some babies are colicky and some are not. There are many theories out there but none that seem to make any sense. I’m wondering if there are any parents out there who have had experience with a colicky baby and had luck with a certain method or technique to calm their babies.<br /> <a href="http://www.mydochub.com/blog" title="http://www.mydochub.com/blog">http://www.mydochub.com/blog</a></p> http://www.blogher.com/node/17247#comments Hot links: What do you recommend?
