The one main thing i’ve found that helps to calm down my boy is a warm bath. He’s definitely a little water baby! I know this won’t be for everyone, but here are some bits that have worked for us.
We’ve tried a variety of different baths for our babe but he REALLY loves this one. It’s quite small and compact which is good for storage, but fits my boy so well. He’s two months old, but very long and he fits in this perfectly. Much easier than ha...
Shnuggle Baby Bath | Built-in Newborn Support & drain plug
Another bath suggestion our boy loves. He lays on the sling so happily, and likes to have a look around. Perfect when your baby is a little more chill, but also helps to settle babe if they have belly ache.
Skip Hop Moby Smart Sling 3 Stage Bath Tub
We’ve tried a few different bubble baths for our babe but this one really does seem to help. I’m not sure if it’s just been a fluke but when we’ve used this before bed, our boy seems to really chill out and settle well. Oh, and it smells lovely!
Aveeno Baby Calming Comfort Bedtime Bath and Wash 250ml
This one’s a personal favourite as I love vanilla. I use this on an evening, after babies bath and just before getting his pjs on. If you like vanilla, you NEED to try this!
Nala's Baby Body Lotion Vanilla Cloud
Must haves
A few things we’ve found to help our boy. Some are pretty basic, others have been trial and error. All have been a must have!
Baby muslins are a must for any baby. But especially if your baby suffers from reflux! We’ve also found these super helpful when our boy is suffering from a colic episode - sometimes he’s end up TOO hot and covering him with a muslin while just in a ...
Maliton 6 Pack Baby Muslin Cloths 50x25CM
Dummies are a tough one - some like to avoid them but we’ve found them super helpful. The mam ones i’ve found are fab, and as we have used the mam bottles to feed, these match the teats making it easier for our boy.
Soothers
Our boy loves lights! We’ve found that sometimes during a screaming episode, turning the main lights off and just using a night light really helps take the edge off. It gives him something to focus on and sometimes helps the crying ease off.

Some bits to help with feeding your babe, from formula suggestions to medication we’ve tried that seems to help ease symptoms. These won’t work for everyone, but we worked through a few different things to find items that helped.
Took a lot of trial and error to find a formula that worked for us, but I think(?!) touch wood, this one is agreeing with our little one. It’s designed to be easier for babies to digest, and we like that it’s UK made, made with whole milk and free fr...
Kendamil Comfort Milk 0-12 Months 800g
We haven’t tried this one personally as we tried the Kendamil first and that worked for us. BUT i’ve heard very good things about this formula. Designed for easy digestion, and to help babes with colic.
