Colic maybe?

Question

Can someone explain to me the signs of colic? My baby cries and screams most of the time she’s awake. During day and night. It’s been going on for 4 days now and it’s so exhausting. She will be 5 weeks old on Monday.

Answer

My baby was colicky and it only got worse over time. I tried everything and around 4 months she was either sleeping or screaming. Essential she had no content awake moments. We took her to the doctor who tested her for a milk allergy and suggested trying a probiotic. The probiotic worked and she was a happy baby within 24 hours. I wish I hadn't waited so long but I just didn't know what was normal. If you have any concerns definitely contact the pediatrician

Answer

Another sign of colic is that the baby is inconsolable for those 3 hours. They also happen around the same time every day or for 3 days.
I wouldn't recommend the colic drops unless your baby has been medically diagnosed. Additionally, breastfeeding (if you are) alleviates a lot of the pain for the baby. If not, you can always following the 5 s
- swaddle
- sound machine
- suck / soother
- swing
- shush

Answer

Colic is just a general term for a unsettled baby that has significant periods of crying. It’s always best to check out any possible medical issues that could be leading to significant amounts of crying- reflux, allergies, intolerance, etc.
Often babies are labeled with colic when it’s actually something else going on.
