The other treatment that has shown some success is managing the baby’s diet, either by changing formula types or, if the baby is breastfed, changing the mother’s diet.

One recommendation is to switch to a soy-based or hydrolyzed protein formula10 (most of the major formula makers—Similac, Enfamil—have versions of these).
