This is what i get...

I had a fairly easy & uneventful pregnancy...a super easy labor and I get a colicky but oh so cute baby!  I wish my poor baby didn't cry 80% of the time he's awake :(

Re: This is what i get...

  • aww that's rough Pammy I'm sorry Gio's being so cranky :( but he is super cute :)
  • i had colic.. my mom would put me in my car seat and put me on top of the washing machine to settle my tummy... i'm so sorry you're dealing with it. my mom talks about it being the worst part of raising me, and i was a hellion, believe me!

  • He is very cute!!!! Have you tried wrapping him in a blanket when he gets colicky?  Sometimes if you bundle them up it helps their tummies.  My grandma use to wrap me in warm blankets when I had colic as a baby.
  • lol i've tried it all... baby massages, massages for gas, swaddling, bouncing, rocking, warm bath, etc.etc.. i feel so bad for him he's not comfortable anywhere for more than 5-10 minutes.. bouncy seat, car seat, swing. Thank god my mom has been coming over to help me while serg is at work! I'm so glad we decided to move within 10 minutes of both our parents lol
  • poor gio.  :(  i hope his tummy starts feeling better soon.
  • I'm so sorry, Pammy!  I hope he is feeling better soon...for his sake and yours!  I may have missed this because I have been so behind on posts lately, but has your pedi checked into reflux?  Poor little guy!
  • Has he been checked for reflux?  We have a friend who thought their little boy was colic and it turned out he had reflux.  They got him on meds and he was a different baby in a week or so (it take a little while for the meds to work). 

    Sounds like you are doing all you can for the little guy. Such a good mommy!

    when i mentioned reflux my pedi changed him to soy (that lasted about 4 days and i  took him off bc it made him worse and constipated!) I am going to see how he does this weekend and then call another pedi on tuesday. I feel like it may be silent reflux only bc reading some info, he has a lot of hiccups, wet burps, (doesnt spit up very often), and he seems to be fine when he's drinking his bottle.. as soon as i stop he starts crying. but then again.. what do i know lol We've also been trying gripe water to calm him which helps with his hiccups.

    I would definitely bring it up to your pediatrician again and again...you  know your baby best.  Do you follow Heir to Blair?  She talks about her experience with reflux and how people told her it was colic.  Present everything you're reading to your pediatrician...I feel you definitely have to be your own advocate when going to the Dr.!! Good luck!

  • awww poo baby boy. :-( I'm sorry he's been so unhappy Pammy!
