Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Feeding the infant in an upright position and burping frequently may help relieve discomfort from swallowed air, which can cause colic. Increasing the time spent carrying the infant often produces some improvement for colic. Feeding techniques such as overfeeding may contribute to colic, so the number of feedings should not be increased. Allowing the infant to cry excessively will cause the infant to swallow more air and will exacerbate the colic. White noise such as a fan in the background or car rides may also help reduce crying episodes.
