horrible colic or maybe reflux?
my son is 7 weeks old today. since about 3 weeks old he has horrible crying fits, i’m talking 5+ hours. lots of gas, he scrunches his legs up a lot, he spits up quite a bit and he does projectile bingo frequently. he has given himself a large hernia from the screaming fits. today it was 7 1/2 hours of nonstop screaming and crying. i’ve tried gas drops, gripe water, lots of burping, baby wearing, swing, car rides, white noise, bouncing, walking, the frida baby things for gas, baths, some gripe belt that was useless, swaddling, you name it i’ve done it i swear i’ve tried it all. i exclusively pump, i don’t eat any diary. stay away from spicy stuff, onions, broccoli, everything they say to avoid! i’m at my wits end. i am so tired. we take turns but its become so much i dont think we will survive much longer. i feel so guilty. it is unbearable to hear him screech for hours on end and i can’t soothe him or help him in anyway and he seems to be suffering horribly. my heart aches but i’ve also become quite irritated. i love my child, i would do anything for him but the amount of guilt i feel for his suffering is unbelievable and i can’t help but feel guilty for being upset and irritated with the hours on end of crying. i’m at a loss of what to do. i feel like im at the end of my rope. what does this seem like colic or reflux? what has anyone done for this? what worked for you? please any insight or help is greatly appreciated.
