Dealing with a colicky baby can be frustrating but there are many simple things you can try to soothe your little one.

Probiotics, lemon balm, chamomile, and fennel can help too.

Yoga isn’t just for adults! Asanas like the tree or corpse pose can help improve your child’s concentration and physical and mental health.
