Anyone else in the colic trenches, my little one in seven weeks old and all she does is scream, get wind and fight her naps - it is absolute HELL on earth and it’s draining, she’s so tired that when she does fall asleep it’s for about 4 mins then she wakes up

My youngest daughter is 6 months now but she had colic when she was a newborn, it was absolute hell and it ruined the newborn time for me completely. She used to scream for 12 hours a day, nothing worked and I was just exhausted. I had really bad postnatal depression because her birth was traumatic and I didn't actually want to be around her, as awful as it sounds
As shit as it is, you just have to ride it out. She literally woke up one day and was like a different baby, it just goes away on it's own.
She also had really bad reflux and she still does, so both of them together was just so so bad. About the only thing that used to occasionally help was holding her over my arm on her tummy but it didn't last long
You'll get through it 💪 Have you tried colief drops or dentinox?

I went through this the last 2-3 days. My baby is only 5 weeks old.
They told her it’ll go away around 7 weeks hopefully it gets better.
Gripe water seems to be helping. Also been told told to get infacol

Hi Natalie, my little one was a colic baby from around 3 weeks old to 3 months, I just wanted to let you know right now it will feel like it’s never going to end (I remember that feeling well) but I promise it does. I tried all sorts and nothing worked we literally did just have to ride it out. It definitely put a black cloud over my newborn experience but one day it stopped and he was a totally different baby. He’s 1 now and it feels like a distant memory, I also said while we were right in the middle of it I would never have another one at the risk of this happening again I just could not go through it twice.. and here I am wanting another. I promise you it gets better xx
