Does your baby cry in the late afternoon or early evening and continue for hours no matter what you do? Does continual movement seem to help? Does your baby pump her legs towards her abdomen in an effort to expel gas and push "stagnant food" downward? The good news is Chinese medicine can help! Stimulating acupuncture points on the baby can instantly relieve the pain your child is experiencing.

• Colic is due to indigestion that is caused by inappropriate feeding. Usually one of the following is happening to make your child cry.
• The child is simply being overfed (even with breast milk).
• The child is being fed food that is too complex for his or her digestive system.
• An infant's digestive organs are still developing and are very sensitive and weak until he is about six years of age. This weakness means that any food too complex will simply sit in the child's digestive tract and cause bloating and pain.
• Please feed your baby on schedule, not on demand. If you put the baby to breast or bottle every time he cries, you may be overfeeding him. Crying can often be due to boredom or fatigue.
