Let me start of by saying that every single baby is unique and every single one is crying during the photoshoot but some tend to cry a bit more than the others. One of the reason for it might be that your baby is colicky. 

A baby is labeled “colicky” if she cries more than 3 hours a day three days a week.

This period of colic generally starts when the baby is two or three weeks old. In most cases, if there is no underlying physical problem, it should start to lessen around the time baby is about eight weeks old. Most colic ends by the time baby is four months old.

Crying baby will not help during newborn session. So while asking your pediatrician is the best way to address this issue, I can suggest to try look into your own diet or the type or formula or baby bottle you are using. 

Breastfeeding can cause colic

I highly suggest if your baby is gassy to avoid mentioned food 48 hours prior your session:

• Berries

• Grapes

• Stone fruit

• Strawberries

• Mangoes

• Cabbage

• Tomatoes

• Lentils

• Garlic

• Pineapple

• Broccoli

• Brussel sprouts

• Cucumber

• Radish

• Cauliflower

• Raw onion

• Strong herbs and spices

• Powdered yeast

• Stimulants (tea, coffee, chocolate and alcohol).

There are also those foods that will encourage a healthy gut and can help prevent symptoms of colic. These include:

• Apples

• Pears

• Asparagus

• Carrot

• Celery

• Kale

• Corn

• Bananas

• Papaya

• Celery

• Beetroot

• Pumpkin

• Zucchini

• Mushrooms

• Teas (chamomile, dandelion, fennel and cardamom)

• Bone broths

• Apple cider vinegar
