Colic is perhaps one of the most frustrating problems many new parents must contend with. It's characterized by prolonged crying in infants, often for more than three hours a day, a few days a week. The crying typically occurs in the late afternoon or evening and can start when a baby is just a few weeks old. While the cause of colic remains uncertain, it's most often linked to gas being trapped, reflux, or general digestive irritation.
For mothers who would love a non-medicated way of soothing their baby's distress, one of the safest and most natural solutions is to recreate the sensation of being held. Babies are best when cuddled up against the parent's body, where they can feel the warmth, listen to the familiar heartbeat, and sense gentle motion. Craddling your baby this way all the time, though, isn't always practical — especially if you're also sleeping, eating, or taking care of other children.
The Babocush Newborn Comfort Cushion was created with this in mind. It holds babies in a natural, tummy-down position, which has the effect of releasing gas and relieving symptoms of reflux. The position also keeps the airways open, which encourages quieter breathing and quicker burping following feeding your infant. By replicating the sensation of being held, the cushion has the ability to soothe babies that are otherwise difficult to settle.
What sets the Babocush Newborn Comfort Cushion apart is the incorporation of subtle vibrations and a simulated heartbeat noise, built into the control box of the cushion internally. Both are aimed at mimicking the reassuring sensations infants experience while in the arms of their parent. The product also assists development early, with tummy time helping to create a stronger neck, back and torso muscles, while flat head syndrome is prevented.
For parents, having a safe place to rest their baby without causing distress can be a game-changer. Colic often makes it feel impossible to put your baby down without triggering another round of crying. A product like the Babocush Newborn Comfort Cushion offers a way to provide comfort while giving parents their hands back — even just for a short break.
Colic can be exhausting, but it usually goes away by around six months. In the meantime, creating a calming, womb environment with soft, natural methods is real solace. While every baby is different, most parents find that soft, drug-free solutions like the Babocush Newborn Comfort Cushion soothe the initial months — for baby and parent.
Always consult your health visitor or GP if you are unsure if your baby's symptoms are due to colic, but comforted to know that there are non-invasive, loving remedies to help guide you through this time.
