How do you know your baby has colic? you know.

When Jude was a baby he cried and cried, then when he was done crying he cried a little more.

Here are a few things I learned with a colic baby:

1.) It will stop.one day. There is light at the end of the tunnel...they won't cry forever.
{For Jude it lasted about 10 months.}

2.) Don't be afraid put your crying baby in their crib shut the door and walk away.
Sometimes this in necessary for your daily activities and your own sanity.


3.) Don't underestimate the power of music.
I am convinced that every baby has one song they love. One they can listen to over and over again. Find that song make a copy and then make a few more copies and hand it out to anyone you might be spending time with.

4.) single ladies. 
Yes the song. I heard once that babies like the beat and the black & white contrast of the video.
Jude loved it. I would place him in a bouncer in front of youtube and he would watch single ladies at least 3 times in a row. Which would give me about 10-15 mins of time...you can be amazed at what you can accomplish in 10 - 15 mins.

5.) Go outside.
My experience has been that crying babies like to outside.

I could probably make a list of at least 100 things...but I won't. :)

So let me hear them, do you have a tips for crying babies?
