Does it Get Better?

Question

I jave a 6 almost 7 month old. From the moment she was born she has been extremely colicky. I feel like i have tried all the things and eveyone keeps saying she spupd grow out of it by now. I am having the hardest time connecting with her. I feel like my love for her is so conditional. I love her when she doesnt cry but i still feel so disconnected from her. I am significantly more attached to my oldest and feel so much less compassion and love for her. I have an overwhelming amount of guilt for that because what kind of mother cant love her baby? Im not looking for judgment or suggestions. Im just wondering if anyone has had this experience and if so, does it ever get better ?

My first child, a boy, was like this. He didn’t get much better until he could walk. He was around 13 months when he was able to get around on his own in sick a way that he could get the things he wanted and efficiently get to where he wanted to go without any help. That’s when his disposition became much more pleasant. He’s still a very sensitive soul, he’s four now, but it’s sooo much better than that first year. That was literally the worst.

It does get better i promise. My 1st kiddo who is two now was extremely Colic so much so that the pediatrician said it was the worst she's ever seen and we tried EVERYTHING too, along with me trying to eliminate everything from my diet and her milk. Our last resort was a chiropractor which we don't really believe in but decided to try because we were desperate. They used a torque release technique so never actually popped anything and she was better in 3-4 days. This could have been a coincidence but it was a sudden and dramatic change. We went from pig squeal screaming 24/7 to not screaming. Even at 2 though she is very strong willed and more difficult than your normal 2 year old but i promise you there is light at the end of the tunnel, it's just so hard to see when you're in the thick of it and everyone under plays your emotions and concerns with "every baby is hard." Those people have not had an extremely colic kid and have no idea how hard it is.

Answer

Yes it gets better. Try to remember its not their fault. Its painful for them.
