Colic baby
Anyone else feel like they are getting cheated because they have a baby who is miserable all the time? The newborn phase is so short and it feels so unfair that I can’t even enjoy it because she is constantly uncomfortable. She is 6 weeks now and I’m so resentful of all of the people who have chill babies that they can just snuggle and interact with. She’s either sleeping or fussing/crying 95% of the time. We have gone down all the pathways under direction from her doctor (changed my diet, tried hypoallergenic formula, thickened bottles, Pepcid, paced feeds, upright feeds, burping constantly, gas drops, gripe water) and nothing helped. She’s just a miserable baby and I know she’ll outgrow it but by then, we’ve missed out on the newborn phase.
