Oh something else you can do to help baby.. lay them on the bed between your legs and just rub their tummy..and take their legs and gently push them back into their abdomen a bit..then put baby on their tummy (keeping an eye that they can breathe etc) and rub their back... Colic is a sign of their nervous system reacting to unfamiliar discomfort (like gas), it has to LEARN to deal with pain, and doing the things I mentioned above will help comfort baby and get the WORKS going.. (expect lots of good farting).
I should mention, if baby is formula fed, WATCH WHAT FORMULA YOU USE! Enflac and the like are VERY hard on baby's tummy.. Nestle Good Start is the BEST by far (all my kids had VERY Sensitive tummies) and it is much more pre-broken down than other formulas and easier for baby to digest (which in turn helps the colic situation). It's about the closest to mother's milk you can get from a tin.
