Gripe water will work for limited amounts of time... or some warm distilled water with a drop or two of peppermint extract can also help ease the colic. If the baby is breastfeeding, please make sure you check the diet of mom. NO CAFFIENE, no major amounts of veggies like cabbage, broccoli etc, they cause the milk to make the baby gassy. VERY TONED DOWN DIET FOR MOM, like cottage cheese, yogurt, bread, baked potatoes, rice, that kind of thing. Try to avoid a ton of red meat in her diet as well, and foods that are spicy or high in acid content (which can actually sour the milk if you consume enough).
