Does my baby have colic? ☹️

Randi • In love with my best friend. ❤ 5/26/18 👰🤵 Mama to the perfect baby boy born 11/14/19👶💙

My son is 10 weeks old. The past few weeks have been...well, terrible to say the least. He sleeps great at night by some miracle, but will NOT sleep during the day unless he falls asleep nursing and I stay in that position until he wakes up. He will get good 2 hour naps when that happens but nothing else works. He is only smiley and calm for about 20 minutes after he wakes and eats, then the same thing happens every time. He gets fussy, then starts crying and becomes inconsolable until he I assume passes out from sheer exhaustion while nursing. When he's crying there is pretty much nothing that will calm him down. Rocking him, swaddling him, white noise, binky, holding him close, we've tried everything and he at least fusses the entire time. Sometimes he will calm down when my husband holds him against his chest and waltzes around the house but only sometimes. And a lot of his crying is sobbing like he's in pain. He burps well and has regular bowel movements (an average of 2-3 per day). He's EBF and doesn't have any symptoms of a milk protein allergy. It's been like this since the year started and I'm going crazy. I'm not a violent person by any means and I have amazing self control but on several occasions I have had to set my son in his bassinet while he screams and beat up his empty crib box in the living room before I go pick him up again lol. I WILL NEVER and HAVE NEVER harmed my son or neglected him or yelled at him but I'm almost scared at the sheer frustration I've been feeling when he cries off and on for several hours straight. I will ultimately consult with his pediatrician at his next appointment but does this sound like colic to any of you? Any tips or advice for an emotionally exhausted mom? 😅
