Re: colic calm
I tried gripe water too and it didnt work for us. Mine had GERD/reflux also though. Something that did really help or the times that he got really uncomfortable was Mylicon Infant Gas Drops.
Other things that seemed to help soothe him - a vibrating bouncy seat, this was really great. And I'd also sometimes take a small towel and run it in our dryer for a few min. to make it really warm then place it on his belly and wrap him all nice and tight. Or a baby oil tummy massage he would really enjoy too.
Just some ideas....
