Infacol didn’t work, colic calm helps slightly, he’s suffering also with constipation and he never ever lets us put him down! Why haven’t they created a cure yet it’s 2026! I’m exhausted and I feel like I can’t do anything right. Any suggestions?

How is he fed (BF/FF)? Has reflux been looked at as a possibility? Even silent reflux (without vomiting) can cause inconsolable crying

We had some mild success with Colief, which acts on the lack of enzymes to digest milk rather than gas. But I have to warn you, it's such a faff with bf. I would pump some breastmilk, keep it in fridge and give my baby the drops mixed in my milk roughly every 3 hours in a shot glass (easier to clean without sterilising!).
The GP saying "it'll pass" is maddening. They don't know what causes colic cause no one actually checks what it could be! In the meanwhile you go insane.

Our baby had colic and constipation we think infant gaviscon helped a bit and we also used comfort milk but honestly, I hate to say it, but I think a lot of the time you just need to wait for them to grow out of it 😓 by 12 weeks our baby had basically stopped with the screaming, and before that the screaming nights got less and less! Her gut matured and she no longer has constipation, but we did use lactulose while she had it which worked!

Hang in there 😥 honestly medications don’t help, only comforting (holding, gentle swaying, or rocking, it will be better in a few weeks. It was like a switch for us - all the screaming stopped by 14 weeks.
