Yesterday brought Elijah to SMC again, this time, he has swollen birdy (ya, again!) and colic. Gosh, colic normally last 100 days, and today just a third day, so tell me how to tolerate another 97 days? He would cry at a certain time, his face would turn red and he even has cold sweat whenever the colic comes. Really pity this little baby, i only can stop his painful by holding him up or trying to get him distracted by toys or by singing. Doctor asked me to give more Gripe water to him, 3 or 4 times a day, and it could help him. Doctor even helped him to poo yesterday as he didn't pass his stool more than 6 days. What doctor did is, took the thermometer, rub with some KY gel, and inserted into his anal, this could send him a signal that there was something down there and needed him to push the things out. That's amazing, as Elijah poo-ed immediately after the thermometer being embedded.

Hi, Mayb u can try 'Lau Ye'.
Steps:
1. Buy (few pcs incase u need it for few days) 'Lau Ye' frm those indian shop.
2. Apply some cooking oil on 2 leaf (shinning part).
3. Heat it above the stove.
4. Once it turn soften, u can place aside n cool it.
5. Apply '如意油' on your baby's stomach, place the shinning part of the leaves on the stomach n baby's back.
6. Use a napkin to wrap your baby's stomach up.
"Do is at night b4 he goes to bed." Try few times and tis will help in his colic"
Sorry
Step 4 is set aside and let it turn warm den only u can put on the stomach.
Never heard of "lau Ye' but after reading the step by step I knew it was daun sireh (betel leave). There's another way you can try that is change his milk formula to the one for regurgitate. Speedy recovery to Elijah *hugs*
sad to hear that your baby has colic. i don't have experience in dealing with a colic baby but i know it's really taxing. hang in there.
