I follow this lady on insta, her last baby had colic bad! Maybe following, seeing someone go thru the same as u and come out the other side will help! Sending love

Hi there! Your baby will be a happy and amazing human being. I was a colic baby. My mother had me (her first) at age 32, she was a new doctor at the time and she told me I was a challenge. I made her question if having a child was the right move, nothing she did (in her vast medical knowledge) nor tips or tricks from other mothers did anything. I cried for hours on end, didn’t sleep, hated the boob, you name it. She told me I nearly broke her and instead of taking full leave she had to go back to work to get some piece of normalcy after 4 months.

I am 36 now, a first time mom to the happiest baby. But I just want you to know I turned into a happy toddler. A well adjusted child, a somewhat testy teen and I like to think a successful adult.

You WILL be okay, your baby will be okay I promise. He loves you too and you are his world. He isn’t mad at you. It’s not you. It’s his little body figuring stuff out and trying to become human. You’re doing a great job and I’m proud of you. ❤️

My LO had colic too, maybe not as bad as yours, but the only thing that truly helped us was windy. Maybe, not everyone cup of tea, but it helped her and me, as I was heartbroken. Also, bonnisan. And by the way, I am sure you are doing an amazing job and at around 3-4 months, your LO will be a happy baby. ❤️

Thank you all so much and that made me cry my eyes out thank you so much. I’m forever grateful for this site and the kind and selfless women that take the time to share advice and spread kindness to those who are struggling. Today I was at breaking point but I am much better now after getting him down for a couple of naps in the baby carrier. I know on a rational level that this will get easier but I find it so hard to see light at the end of tunnel when he’s in a scream fest. It’s a visceral, physical reaction of dread, fear and despair coming straight from my nervous system. I grew up in fight or flight mode most of the time and although I’ve done a lot of inner work and healing since then, I think I still carry a lot of fear and my system is very easily triggered. I love my boy with all my heart and I cannot wait to see him happy and thriving when this awful affliction is over x

I’m taking an alternative medicine course for school and I read a lot about how Craniosacral therapy can help infants with colic! As well as ear infections and stuff. Worth looking into 😉

great reference she’s amazing with her babies

I’ve spent £150 on 3 cranial osteopathy sessions. When I say I’ve tried everything I mean I’ve tried everything! 😔

I was in your shoes it’s the worst ever. You are not a failure nor is it your fault.

It was the darkest time in my life feeling like I was failing as a mom and failing the new love of my life. But I wasn’t! And you aren’t either.

It will get better!!

I was breast feeding / bottle breast milk feeding and convinced it had something to do with eating or his stomach. I ordered some HIPP hydralazed formula from Europe and he was not collic anymore within a week.

how old is your baby?
