Tips for (maybe, sort of, sometimes) Soothing a Colicky Baby
There are so many theories on colic, what it is, what causes it, and how to help it. But nothing is really known for sure. My son had colic mixed with a few other things that together created a monster for his first 6-months of life. During that torturous time, some people said hurtful and […]
