Letting a Colic Baby Cry It Out?

My two month old cries every night about the same time. She cries even though she is changed, full and nothing is wrong with her. I think she might just be tired. My husband tries to calm her down along with me but she cant be consoled unless your walking with her or Im feeding her, even though she just ate and is full. I put her down and sometimes after about ten minutes ( the longest we let her cry) she will fall asleep. Thinking of getting colic tablets. Do they work?

Suggestion:

O christ! Just about every baby goes through this, a witching hour sort of deal, and one walks with them or feeds them or whatever, and rides it out.

One does not just put them down and walk off on a routine basis. Do it if you absolutely must have a moment to collect yourself, but f***ing off on a two-month-old is not on.

"Colic tablets" are just sugar. Babies like sweet. "Tablets" do nothing (besides cost money) that plain sugar would not.

Wikipedia explains it well:

"Claims of homeopathy's efficacy beyond the placebo effect are unsupported by the collective weight of scientific and clinical evidence.[9][10][11][12][13][14] While some individual studies have positive results, systematic reviews of published trials fail to conclusively demonstrate efficacy.[15][16][17][18][19] Furthermore, higher quality trials tend to report less positive results,[17][20] and most positive studies have not been replicated or show methodological problems that prevent them from being considered unambiguous evidence of homeopathy's efficacy.[9][12][21][22] A 2010 inquiry into the evidence base for homeopathy conducted by the United Kingdom's House of Commons Science and Technology Committee concluded that homeopathy is no more effective than placebo.[14]
Depending on the dilution, homeopathic remedies may not contain any pharmacologically active molecules,[23] and for such remedies to have pharmacological effect would violate fundamental principles of science.[13][24] Modern homeopaths have proposed that water has a memory that allows homeopathic preparations to work without any of the original substance; however, there are no verified observations nor scientifically plausible physical mechanisms for such a phenomenon.[24][25] The lack of convincing scientific evidence supporting homeopathy's efficacy[26] and its use of remedies lacking active ingredients have caused homeopathy to be described as pseudoscience, quackery,[27][28][29][30][31] and a "cruel deception".[32]"
