What to Do If Your Child Has Colic

6. Get Out

As Tall Mom Tiny Baby explains, being outside for a newborn is overwhelming.  All the sounds, air, smells, and sights are a bit of a sensory overload and literally cause a baby’s body to shut down into a deep sleep in order to cope with all the newness.  Don’t worry about what your neighbors will think if your baby is crying.  Your baby’s well-being is more important than cranky adults who should be able to handle a bit of noise outside.
