Anyone else’s baby have colic?😰

Question

Feeling kind of alone. I see everyone elses baby so calm and sleeping all the time and my poor babe is constantly crying or eating. She only sleeps for a stretch at night and is impossible to put down for a nap during the day which makes her even more cranky. I’ve tried everything, I think it’s just something we have to wait out.

Answer

Yup, he's had it for weeks. If he's not feeding or asleep, he cries. It's exhausting, and there's nothing more I can really do to help him.
He's EBF, so I cut out dairy, and he's on Infacol before every feed. He has reflux too 🤦‍♀️ but he's cute, and I know it'll pass eventually.
Here you go... This is the reality for me!
(no judgement needed from anyone for taking a pic of my crying baby, it took 0.2 seconds!)

Answer

I’m sorry, mama! Babies crying is so hard! 
We often notice what reflects our insecurities...but you are not alone. My babe sleeps, but has only in the past week started to have waking times where he’s not miserable. He’s 8 weeks today.
He had lip and tongue tie revised at 5 weeks, and prior to that he was extremely gassy and cried a lot from the pain.
Now he sobs loudly to be put to sleep. Has to be bounced, music playing loudly...He has zero soothing skills, won’t take a pacifier or a bottle. 
So he sleeps, but it’s exhausting getting him there. And nothing is done when he sleeps because he has to be held. LOL 
Babies are hard work. Few are easy, content and quiet - very few. But that is what is highlighted.

Answer

Have you discussed this with your doctor? Tried anti-acids? Also, go to a Pediatric Chiropractor! I know quite a few people who’s babies colic was eliminated within one or two trips to chiro!

Answer

My baby had it really bad around 2-3 weeks. Went to the doc, gave us mylicon. Life saver. I also stopped consuming dairy and the combination of both worked wonders. She gets some colic here and there but for about 2 mins which is doable 🤷🏻‍♀️

Answer

Answer

It’s the worst. Probiotics and gripe don’t seem to do anything either

Answer

Have you tried probiotics?
