Colicky Baby? There’s nothing more heart-wrenching than hearing your baby cry for hours, especially when you’ve tried everything to comfort them. If your little one seems fussy, gassy, or cries intensely in the late afternoon or evening—colic might be the culprit. But take a deep breath: you’re not alone, and there are gentle, natural ways to help ease your Colicky Baby.
Colic is a term used to describe frequent, prolonged, and intense crying or fussiness in a healthy baby. It usually starts around 2 to 3 weeks old, peaks at 6 weeks, and improves by the time your baby is 3 to 4 months.
Doctors still don’t know exactly what causes colic, but it’s often linked to gas, immature digestion, or even over-stimulation. The good news? There are several calming techniques and remedies that may help.
Massage can work wonders for colic. Gently rubbing your baby’s tummy in a clockwise direction helps release trapped gas and stimulate the bowels.
Tip: Use a calming baby massage oil formulated like Boogie and Bean Tummy Relief Massage Oil for Gas, Colic and Constipation.
Lay your baby on their back and gently move their legs in a cycling motion. This simple move can help pass gas and relieve pressure.
Apply a warm (not hot) towel or compress to your baby’s tummy for a few minutes. This can help relax their muscles and relieve bloating or cramping.
Wrap your baby snugly in a lightweight blanket and gently rock or sway them. The cozy wrap mimics the womb and often soothes overstimulated babies.
Colicky babies often respond well to repetitive motion and calming sounds. Try a baby swing, going for a walk in the stroller, or playing soft white noise to recreate the feeling of being in the womb.
Sometimes, how your baby feeds can cause them to swallow air. Whether you’re breastfeeding or using formula, make sure your baby is properly latched, and consider smaller, more frequent feedings to help digestion.
Colic can be incredibly stressful for both baby and parents. Know that this phase is temporary. Take turns with a partner or ask for help if you’re feeling overwhelmed. A calm caregiver is a powerful soother too.

Keeping your child’s hair soft, strong, and healthy can feel like a full-time job when caring for textured or curly hair. African American kids hair is often naturally dry hair due to the shape of their curls, which makes it harder for natural oils to travel from the scalp to the ends. But with the right approach, moisturizing your child’s hair can become a joyful part of their self-care routine.
Here’s how to moisturize 4c kids’ hair the right way:
Wash day sets the foundation for hydration. Use a sulfate-free, tear-free shampoo like Boogie and Bean Coco Curls Shampoo that won’t strip your child’s natural oils. Follow up with a rich, kid-safe conditioner that contains natural ingredients that nourish and moisturize. Boogie and Bean Conditioners
Pro Tip: Use a wide-tooth comb or your fingers to detangle while the conditioner is in—this reduces breakage and helps evenly distribute moisture.
After rinsing out the regular conditioner, follow up with a Boogie and Bean leave-in conditioner while the hair is still damp. This helps lock in moisture and makes styling much easier. Look for products specifically made for kids with curly or coily hair.
These are two popular methods for sealing in moisture:
Try both to see what works best for your child’s hair type. Oils like jojoba, avocado, grapeseed, or castor oil are lightweight and nourishing for little scalps.
Curls love water! Between wash days, refresh the hair with a moisturizing spray like Boogie and Bean Coco Curls Conditioner or a DIY mix of water + leave-in conditioner. This keeps the hair from becoming dry or brittle.
You can also lightly mist the hair before styling in the morning.
Use a satin or silk bonnet, scarf, or pillowcase while your child sleeps. Cotton absorbs moisture and can dry out the hair. A protective covering keeps moisture locked in and reduces frizz and breakage overnight.
Moisture retention isn’t just about products—it’s also about how the hair is styled. Choose protective styles like:
Make sure to re-moisturize the hair regularly while in these styles. A little leave-in and oil on the scalp goes a long way.
You don’t need 10 products to have healthy, hydrated hair. What matters most is routine and consistency. Keep a schedule that includes wash days, mid-week moisturizing, and nighttime protection—and you’ll start to see your child’s curls flourish.
