Fussy baby 😣 how do you cope??

Question

Still pretty new to being a mum! My 4 week old has colic 😑 how do you keep it together when your baby is screaming the house down at stupid o’clock 😳🔫!!!!! Trying anti colic bottles, comfort milk formula, getting infacol today, I’ve signed up for baby massage classes, tried a warm bath before bed, tried hot water bottle on her tummy...HELP!! 😣

Answer

I’m sorry you’re going through this. My daughter was the same way and unfortunately everything I tried didn’t help much (gripe water, bath, gas drops, probiotics, massage, bicycle legs, allergy milk) if I used all of those things I would notice a little difference but hated that I was stuffing my babe full of medicine. I will say mommy’s bliss night time gripe water would help her not wake up 8-10 times an hr and instead she would sleep 1-2 hours at a time. I don’t know what happened if she outgrew whatever her issue was or what but at 4 months she was a completely different baby. Went from screaming 80 percent of the day and not sleeping to only crying maybe 20 percent and waking up once a night. Keep telling yourself this is only temporary. It may sound silly but it really helped me. I’m a mom of four and my youngest two are 18 months and 5 months so you could imagine how exhausted I was. Stay strong mama. I’m sending good vibes your way

Answer

Try gas drops, or gripe water

Answer

This sounds weird but try running yoir vacuum, it was the only thing that helped my first consistently. Also try holding them while taking a warm shower.

Answer

My daughter had a genetic disorder that wasn’t found until she was older but it made her ridiculously colicky.
My biggest suggestion...when you’re feeling done in and overwhelmed...put baby down in a safe place like the crib and step outside for a few minutes.  
I remember by 4-5 months old starting to feel angry with her screaming and I just had to step outside and cry myself for a bit.

Answer

My daughter had colic and acid reflux. Our life was hell! MIL mentioned taking her to the chiropractor. I swear he cured both her reflux and colic after just a few visits.

Answer

My oldest had colic and reflux for the 1st 4months I can remember the crying well 7pm-12am.. We changed everything some made him a little better other things didn’t do anything. The only thing that really help him settle down was me walking around the room with him on my shoulder, while we listened to some music. And also night time drives in the car and having the vacuum cleaner on the noise of that used to settle him to sleep.lol

Answer

White noise(ex: vacuum, shower running, tv static) you could also YouTube different white noise or soothing colic sounds, gas drops, gripe water, probiotic drops. My last baby had to have Similac Alimentum prescribed by her doctor.. get a routine going and it'll help tremendously. Hope you both get relief soon

Answer

You can try bicycle kicks. I also find it helps to rock babies on their stomach as well

Answer

Have you tried using a pacifier while burping just to help calm baby for awhile? 
If it's gone on for ages I burp while watching tv (with subtitles) and keep trying my best. Eventually comes out or baby gets  so tired he falls asleep. Can you tap out for about and get your SO to take over even of it's for just a few minutes maybe
