Anyone have any tips for surviving colic?
I am home all day with him by myself and he is so colicky, so most of the day is spent nursing, soothing him while he's fussing, and the occasional nap in his swing. I moved recently and the only mom friends I have live 45 minutes away.
PS. We're at 7 weeks, so we've got another 5 weeks of this to deal with, I'm told.

change of scenery may also help. walk around the house exploring different rooms and go outside. sing to baby....tummy time...
I would look into why he's fussy. Most likely gas or reflux. Some babies are just more needy. My son is one of them. He has reflux and for him we needed meds. I'm the most anti med mom you'll ever know but for him he really truly needed it. I also have to burp him constantly. If not he gets super gassy and miserable. So my advice is to look up signs of reflux and burp as much as possible. I'm just coming out of the tunnel myself. Before you know it you'll be chasing him around the house and this will be a thing of the past ! ☺️ It will get better !
When my son was fussy the only way to make him stop crying was to take him outside!
have you tried gas drops? and are you sure he doesnt have silent reflux?
@emmajeremy2627, unfortunately it only works occasionally with my little guy.
baby carriers can be really helpful. since it keeps them upright and agaisnt you, I've heard it calms a lot of colicky babies down:)
Good Morning Preggie , i feel so HUGE I have 12 weeks and 2 Days left to go 😘😍💙👶🏾 DROP PICTURES OF THE BELLIES / WEEKS YOU ARE !!
This is my son Walter. Today is his birthday. He would have been five. This picture was taken when he was 16 days old. He was my first child and my only son (I now have 3 girls). He passed away the next day after this picture from congenital heart failure. It was a miracle that he lived passed 12 weeks gestation because of how severe his heart defects were. I miss him so much, I can't believe it's been 5 years. It still hurts so bad. I don't talk about him a lot out loud because I end up bawling...
Any mommas having issues with their 3 year olds not sleeping ??
Took my kiddo to the doctor and his doctor recommended I get him Melatonin
So I did
I started with 1mg and it did nothing
So I got him 3mg still nothing
Got him 5mg nothing
So today I bought him 10mg
I hope it works
This kid can go the whole night without sleeping and no naps throughout the day
I’m one exhausted momma
Vaginal labor is so easy I would rather take the contractions any day than to have to have a c section
So now that I have my test strips when do I start testing! I am on day 2 of af today and it lasts about 3-4 days normally. I have about a 26-27 day cycle. Any help would be very appreciated thank you!!😀
@foreveryoung247, we're actually on meds for reflux already!
