It usually described as having having caught in the final could be -- -- up with a -- question of the best.
Oftentimes a lot of passing of the -- -- -- baby like that some good things that would indicate calling.

And it's very little problem is army family and having a very beautiful ladies.
And really understand about how -- changed over the years really we used again -- these babies that but now we know that there are.
Some new advances that I can -- in the book that.
The ship that there's some truth of the causes.
They brought back to gridlock and babies and their -- analogy.
And perhaps the most pleasing development has been either finding that changes in just have to look well -- -- don't live in a billion impeccable track.
Can actually impact -- although he cries.
Okay so having said all of that let's say you have.
Your parent your baby does have college he realized that would what do I do.
Yeah the first.
Wanna do you want to make sure that -- has nothing immediately fixable -- -- -- hungry that we're tired or need to be said.
You'd be surprised that the number of young parents -- overlook these very very simple things.
After that we want to be really.
Partnering with our pediatricians to make sure that we don't have one of that.
-- you -- call it was a big vulnerability right reflux -- no personality.
I'm actually that we can start to look at how many new -- -- the usable activists in this letter I would just.
I'm -- -- that's been proven to treat -- what our -- -- rather than babies.
Let me ask you first got his and he had a list of options for treatments they.
This -- rotary.
Are how -- -- are you pronouncing it.
-- -- -- -- -- How hot it is this something after go to the doctor's office to get is an injection is it's a solution the baby would in -- I took it surprised -- got organism that sounded good good good start food -- -- that I -- routine at some point there was no evidence to parents.
That's preventable and good person I called police dropped which.
Drop -- threatening parents can give to their booties so they don't have to use formula.
And clearly probe by addicts are they're safe for kids obviously for infants otherwise you would -- be suggesting this.
Well what we -- -- I can't I think the car that's just sacred babies because not every pro about -- capabilities we have to look at those pro about a third of the proven.
To be based on the fact.
To get to the movies themselves after the terror threat Iran which is what we've been talking about.
Is one of those products as safe as -- -- you Cruz caught at 50% and invaded the music.
Well I mean listen if you're at home and your have a baby with college -- -- along check this out guys -- -- Babies beginning at three weeks and it peace between four and six weeks of age now -- -- you have.
A new born and that that's a long time 11 -- as a parent you don't wanna see your baby crying.
As for something that you just have no idea what's going on and tune it can be kind you know grating on -- the maturity sleep deprived and you're trying to figure out what this little machine is they didn't come -- extraction you know dot.
But I think they are different and we have to look it.
Everybody -- their way of telling us what's wrong and they're different problem that I was there.
Parents really need to be educated need to partner with that decision to look for solutions.
All right back to the -- Roland and not be appropriate for every baby that.
It isn't an option -- the new options for problems we typically didn't ever -- to be that.
So -- -- we're gonna -- -- -- -- it again in a moment but in the meantime you can just tell us some of these solutions that parents could.
Possibly try when they first think that there -- -- perhaps is a little -- Well -- well look at some of those true that the -- -- losers we're gonna partner with our pediatricians to do that.
I certainly right -- it was a great -- first stating that they be irrespective wrecked cars in the irritability.
Are we want to see that -- B.
Or.
-- that didn't frequently keep them operate twenty minutes or so after he'd.
It was a very simple measures are gonna help and obviously remembering that it sort of a possible use of pro about it -- that the basilica right right.
And web lets hear some comments -- you doctor from some of our chatters here.
Griffin at 57 saying that he he he -- good that -- -- referring -- you that he is looking at underlying causes not just going to drugs.
Right exactly exactly anywhere -- medications that certain baby -- who was sick with after the -- what you need medications but.
There are some very simple things we can do for -- -- -- -- what quite.
Keeping an outright -- sticking with formula wrong or -- pistols at last.
And then it's -- CB -- BN says changes changes food.
Keep it warm dry and most important hold the baby when feeding it to you greeted this.
-- -- -- -- Some simple things that they nonspecific but I would agree with that for sure.
It in the meantime -- there's -- a place where viewers would like to go for more formation working directives doctor.
I'm a good place to get information about the -- rather -- will be driven dot com.
-- get information on breast feeding and informative feeding and -- development it's a great place to start.
So overall you're you're saying that -- again is it it is it really easy was I think we read something in the notes that it could be -- could be.
-- a result of acid reflux and the baby is is that true.
Right absolutely just as adults can -- that the -- what didn't think it actually brought.
In this little run these treatment conditions that we like to look for in front of the -- what would include.
A crying when it really has put down -- Frequently about chronic congestion.
We've been spending up after people who are most importantly.
Are pushing and pulling away from the bad one under your breath -- -- baby's feeding.
-- So big museum they have those inherent abilities to to communicate with you so.
Exactly yeah -- -- -- -- prides itself.
Yet look for the signs that we got.
So again again -- that -- -- before we go doctor or what you tell us when you're suggesting that we look for those signs.
Again it's for severe new -- their brand new applicants had this little thing didn't come with instructions right how do you know the difference one more time if the baby is suffering from college.
Or -- he's just hungry or the baby's sleeping you're the baby is -- or.
You also as a parent don't wanna get into the habit of picking up the baby every time -- she cries because bill.
And it'll be this cause and -- -- and -- you know any means so high and how do you know -- difference.
Well there's a lot of the talk -- that you mentioned there that's really important for young mother have a great support network that includes seven -- pediatrician didn't give them some guidance.
