Management strategies for colic include supporting the parents,reassuring the parents that the child is healthy,reinforcing the parents' attempts to comfort their child,swaddling and/or rocking the baby,decreasing environmental stimulation,assessing and re-teaching feeding and burping technique if needed,and providing an opportunity for parents to express their frustrations.Changing the baby's feeding schedule and switching from breast to cow's milk are not recommended.Probiotics may be useful,but studies on their use have been inconclusive.
