For colicky babies or young children, a lavender bath can be especially
soothing. Add dried lavender flowers to warm bathwater and encourage the child
to enjoy a fragrant soak. Hey and consider sharing the experince!! The flowers
are mildly astringent and antibacterial.

A drop of Roman chamomile oil in a bowl of hot water under the crib, or on the radiator (where the baby can't get at it) can also help. Massage the abdomen gently in a clockwise motion using a drop or two of R. Chamomile in a tbs of carrier oil can help too (sometimes LOL).

(Non- AT methods- run a vacuum, hairdryer, vibrating bouncy seat, wear baby in a sling..mom drinks lots of alcohol. Oops, Just kidding!:D)

Yup, colic veteran here.
