I cant do this anymore it non stop crying all day long.She does not sleep well I thought she had colic and reflux but if a baby has colic do they cry all day I thought they only cry at night?She crys around the clock.She is on zantac and we changed her formula.What else can I do.
On top of the baby being like this I have my 2 year old too.I am so tird and tired of listen to the vacum.I have to put the vacum on sometimes to help calm her down it works sometime and sometimes not.

You poor thing. I've been there! My son would have episodes where he cried for a week non-stop. Ours turned out to be food sensitivities. What kind of formula is she on? What kind of bottles do you use? (I found Dr. Brown's Natural Nursers to be very helpful.)

 

Go to the doctor and tell him he needs to help you figure something out with the formula.

 

Some of it might be temperament - like if she gets upset, she might have trouble calming down. My daughter was like that and to this day, I doubt she was in pain all the time, though she screamed like she was. I think she was just born grumpy!   :?

 

Have you tried the techniques from "Happiest Baby on the Block"? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ddRkI5wVIqQ

Great advice! My boy also cries pretty much all day most days (at least 5 out of 7!). I also have a 2yr old & a 4yr old. Most days I'm pulling my hair out by 8:30am!!

Do you have a wrap or sling? I made 1 of each - the wrap one works much better because its more hands free than a pouch type sling. But the sling is good for the cradle hold when you have to bounce and jiggle around. There are some great instructions for making your own here http://www.wearyourbaby.com/Default.aspx?tabid=121  and here http://www.handmade-adelaide-baby.com/make-your-own-baby-sling.html

The wrap is easy as it doesn't have to require any sewing!
