fucking colic

[sonrisa]

7 pm until now, crying with occasional bouts of eating or sleeping in my lap while I rock her. No end in sight.

I'm so sorry. I remember those days not so fondly.

Are you doing the 5 Ss? That was the only thing that would get Will to calm down.

Colic is the worst

Bouncing with the baby on an exercise ball helped us a lot.

I'm so sorry, Sonrisa Colic is what caused CGTMF to happen. Do you have a CGTMF person? Colic was my worst fear and one of the top five reasons I don't want a third.

[sonrisa]

I was really hoping she wouldn't copy her sister on this one.

jermy: DH is my CGTMF person right now. We each got 3 hours of sleep. Now DD is up so that is over.

ugh, that is so so hard.

Hang in there.

So sorry. Hopefully you'll get some breaks today. Once, I got decent relief from putting him in a really full tub with me. I was able to calm him by floating him in the water, kind of mimicking the womb, I guess. Good luck, hang in there. This, too, shall pass.

Hugs, dude. The newborn phase is hard enough without colic. It will pass.

[Jermys]

I would CGTMF too. Does baby wearing help at all? When my friend's kid had colic, she had to wear him everywhere and it mostly helped.

[snipsnsnails]

Nooooo! I wish I were next door. I would come over. Heck, I will still hop on a plane and come. Do you need me to come?

I remember those days, and not fondly. I remember that every one thought we were exaggerating. And then we took DS on a trip to meet all his family, and they were like, "Oh, wow, he really does cry that much!"

All I can tell you is to hang in there. It really did start to get better at 3 months. And by six months he was totally done. I'm really glad I had the colicky one first. If I had to deal with a toddler AND a colicky baby, I would have gone crazy!
