Show Notes
Welcome to The Happy Baby Podcast.
This episode is about baby colic, a diagnosis that is often handed out to parents of a very distressed baby. We discuss what exactly colic is, what it’s often confused with and what you can do to help your baby.
As always, you should discuss your concerns with the right medical practitioner before starting any treatment. Every baby is different.

When you are told that your new born baby has Down syndrome it is quite natural to experience a number of emotions at any given time, particularly during the first few weeks and months. For some parents it is one of shock as they have had no advance warning, for some it is disappointment that they were not handed the baby they anticipated and for others it’s a worry of what lies ahead. All these emotions are very common, however in time, parents come to realise that they have a tiny baby that requires the same love and attention as any other baby who has his/her own special little personality that will develop and inspire you over the years.
