@may23, he's not changed to be honest :( I had a short nap this afternoon but he's been crying a lot today so I'm gonna be in for a bad night :( just feel helpless xx

@jade_17, so how is your baby doing now? I hope it's getting better and you are getting some rest.

Thanks ladies for advice & support. @bee1979 it really is! I've been eating healthy & staying away from fizzy drinks & spice because I heard that can make colic worse & it still manages to make my little man unbelievably uncomfortable 😩 I'll try baby massage. I do it a bit but max doesn't normally like it but I'll persevere! Thanks! Xx @essex-angel it's hard isn't it? 😰 I know it's not his fault but I suppose lack of sleep doesn't help for both of us. I just think I'm still recovering from a major operation & need time to heal & I don't get a chance too but my OH needs his time. It's horrible & I thought we would be able to deal with it but it's becoming increasingly difficult now Max has a serious bout of colic! 😔 us mummies have to stick together! Thanks Jo😘 xx @tiasohi1 I'm going to try gripe water on Tuesday when max reaches one month! 16 weeks??! You're a saint! I'm hardly coping & Max has only had it for a week & a half 😓 xx

It took my daughter 16 long weeks to snap out of it . The only thing that helped with colic specific bottles , a baby massage and a strict routine from 5 weeks . Gripe water also helps massively. X

aw hun, i can relate to the bit about a partner that cant always help/be there due to medical stuffs... ive had a few tears over feeling like ive done the pregnancy alone. and sophies only 2 days but ive had a couple of single parent moments since her birth too. its hsrd bcoz its not the partners fault and ya dont want to blame him or hold it against him, but at the same time a baby is a joint effort. alllways here if u wanna chat. i hope mr max improves soon xx

I wish I could give you good news but it was about 4 months for my daughter.
but every baby is different.
but it did get less as the time went on.
hang in there lots of baby massage helps.
colic is a bugger x

@bee1979, thank you sweet! 😘 when did your babe snap out of her colicky state? Max is only 3 & 1/2 weeks & all the sites say 2-4 months! 😩 xx

Awww bless you hun.
your doing so well.
My daughter had really bad colic I was on my own.
Try and make some time for yourself an have a nice bath.
There was many times I had to leave her crying so I could take a breathe.
Hugs. xxx
