My niece had a baby Jan 26. The baby has colic. The father is an alcoholic?

Tonite, I set her up in a nice motel with the baby. She just cant take it anymore. The father of the baby is a total mental misfit and thank the Lord she didnt marry him. He has made my niece cry at least 4-5 times in the last couple of weeks and I have never seen her cry. He is very critical, says she cant do anything righ and he real is just a drunken slob.
She took me up on my motel room for the nite offer and I am hoping she can get some peace. I sent my daughter who is 19 and able to babysit along, so she can just relax. Should I do anything else to help her out or just stay out of it? Is this wrong? We did not tell him where she is and I am playing stupid. I am an advocate for domestic violence victims because I was in the same situation 20 yrs ago, and do not feel like I had any support. I just am trying to help her out…and he is an alcoholic and I cannot believe how terrible he talks to her. Its a matter of time before he starts becoming physically abusive.

30 years ago they had a prescription drug for colic, pink color. Anybody know what it was? Need it for my son?

My mom was able to get a prescription for colic 30 years ago, she can’t remember what it was, but she swears by it. I had EXTREME colic. I’ve asked doctors they have no idea what was given to my mom. It was clearish pink, could have been anti-gas medicine for all I know. My daughter had colic, she is older, however my son has it now. Any help would be appreciated. And I don’t want to hear about happiest baby on the block book, because I had tried everything w/my daughter, and now son, just like my mom tried everything w/me.

Everything I’ve tried drug wise(not emotional wise):
Gripe Water(given to me by a friend/nurse)
Mylicon
Colic Tablets Hyland
Gripe Water w/completely different ingredients

Just need to know what would have been prescribed 30 years ago. I’m very familiar about non medicated treatments, music, etc, just need the name of the drug.

Thank you
