colic

[ECMW07]

I think we're developing colic. Madison has been extremly fussy the last two days and that's very unlike her. It makes me so sad because I can tell she dosen't feel good and I don't know how to make it any better. Any suggestions? Please let me know if you know what might work

Jul. 30, 2007 at 10:15 AM She is a little old to develop colic, I think....Usually that starts around 3wks. How old is she? ANyway...Mine had it and it was AWFUL!!! Make sure she is getting her sleep. That was Garrett's problem. He would stay up and get over tired and there was no getting him to bed. I am sure you know, but  I didn't...they really shouldn't be up very long at all. Like, an hour and a half at a time. Even at close to 5 months Garrett is asleep after 2 hours of wake time. I hope it isn't colic. It was a nightmare for us. Try the hair dryer, vacuum, running water...all worked briefly for him. The baby bjorn was a life saver. He would fall asleep in that / listening to the running water while I held him. The Baby Whisperer & Healthy Sleep Habits Happy Baby books worked WONDERS for me! Oh - you can try Gripe Water. You can only purchase it in the Village at Woman's Work store. That is the closest to us. It didn't really work for us, but does great for others. Helps with the hiccups for sure. Let me know if you can not get someone to get it for you. IF my husband goes that way he could pick it up and we could get it to you. I think it is like $12 - $15. I offer because colic was HELL for us and I was miserable for over a month. Thank God for family. Let me know if I can help. What are her symptoms?
