Colic: What it is, what causes it, and how you can treat it

Welcoming a child into the world can be one of the happiest and most beautiful experiences in a person's life. Countless people around the world hold newborns in their arms and look towards a purposeful future of love, nurturing, and, of course, hard work. Caring for an infant is a roller coaster of emotions, oscillating between extreme joy and extreme exhaustion.

The more one knows about colic, however, the easier it can be to handle this condition. Read on to find out all you need to know colic, and how to get you and your baby through it.

13 Amusement Parks in the U.S. That Are Completely Free to Enter

A few even charge you nothing for parking and entertainment.
