with my colicky child I bounced him all day long - or car rides, loud static in the car helped. mostly I held him and rocked him and cried with him the whole time - he had colic from day# 3 til 5 months. 14 hours a day..

Did he just get his first shots? If so, Tylenol should help.

Well, it is my theory that newborns are great the first month or two and then they wake up and don't like it! My daughter and nephew were both excellent babies up unitl the 3 wk. mark. All they did was sleep 20 hrs. a day-- unti they didn't! My daughter didn't calm down until about 4 mos.

In his bouncy seat on top of the dryer while it's running. The warmth, vibration and white noise work wonders.
