Yes yes yes yes yes. We went through exactly that for the first 3.5 months. Turned out my daughter had food intolerances and was miserable from the foods I was eating and she was getting through my milk. I ended up having to stop gluten, dairy, soy, nuts, eggs, and fish. We started Culturelle probiotics and that helped too. It took a good 4 weeks to get the dairy out of my system and milk. When it did, the crying stopped, the screaming and arching of the back stopped, my angry sad baby started smiling and gaining weight, and everything got easier. The diet sucks (still on it) but I lost all 55 lbs of pregnancy weight in 6 months! I am so sorry you are going through this...it feels so isolating and hopeless but I promise, it does eventually get better!! I am here if you need to vent! Hugs!
Colic.. Baby never happy.
Is anyone else going thru this? My baby is 7.5weeks old and he is honestly never happy. He was born at 34weeks. No issues. He has GERD and I feel like it's just a vicious cycle of feeding him and then trying to settle him for hours. He sticks his tongue out, arches his back, tenses up everywhere, pulls on his face, screams and squawks. Ive tried to feed him when he does this but he just pushes me away and pulls at my nipple. He is gaining weight and when he's interested in feeding (every 2.5-3hrs) he feeds well. I've googled everything from "newborn who hates his life" to more serious conditions. I'm worried there is something wrong with him. He's on Prevacid twice a day, ovol, Vit D and we did a course of Bio Gaia. I feel guilt wishing this time away but I don't know how much more I can take. Sometimes I have to put him down and walk away so I can eat, drink and pee. I'm ready to give up breastfeeding and try formula because doing this every 2.5 hrs seems like a hamster wheel of hell. 😢

Have you tried Grioe water or other remedies like Colic Calm? We used the Windi tubes too and they helped tremendously! Speak with his pediatrician about it all too, they are there to support you through this new motherhood thing. Hang in there mama, it gets better!
Ch
I second this. Gripe water is great.
