Forum: Colic babies

I'll start... Our dd developed colic around 3weeks. Before that she had been the most even tempered baby, even traveling 2200 miles home with us by road and just waking up every 4 hours for a change and bottle and back to sleep. But shortly after we got home the crying jags started. They...

Alright guys.. What are the chances?! I have identical twin boys that just turned 4. They BOTH had colic. It was HORRIBLE. The crying was 20 out of 24 hours per day for one of them and probably 10 for the other. Needless to say, I went insane until they turned 14 weeks and it disappeared! ...

Ok so I have heard from two different people about this homepathic gripe water called Colic Calm anyone try it? I figure it can't hurt right but the rational side of me says could this really be a miracle cure?

We went to our family summer party (lots of relatives, boring time :) ). Anway, my cousin love kids and held DS the whole time. I told him about the colic issue and we had tried everything. He did two things: first, he massage him, for like 30 minutes his back and his tummy. Second, he held...

My girls were born premature at 20 weeks and were just given breast milk. They came home on breast milk and were gassy I spoke to my ped. and she said decrease the milk in your diet that worked for a while but then they started to have GERD. One is on Zantac and the other prevacid. Now that is...

HI EVERYONE!!! Just to give a little history, I have a beautiful 5 week old son. He has been exclusively on breast milk (pumping most of the time drinks from a slow flow bottle) and he has been extremely colicky since he was 2 1/2- 3 weeks old. I am transitioning to formula and 2 have been...

Hello, I am Jenn. I have a 7 week old baby girl who has had trouble with her stools...She started out breastfeeding fine with yellow stools..then they went bright green. Doc tested her for CF and the fat test came back normal..He thinks it is an allergy...So we started on Alimentum which helped...

I will also post this on the breastfeeding board... My DS is a little over 3 weeks old. I got intro to colic when he was fussy from 10-11:30 at night from day 5. He had such a great schedule. He hit the 3 week mark and help- he now has colic. Yikes... This is my issue. My child is...

My baby is 5 weeks old and since she was born was "fussy" but it got worse around the 3 week mark. There were about 3 or 4 nights that she cried for hours (like 6!!!!) and seemed to be in pain. I went to a nautropath 3 days ago and she put me on some teas and a homopathic remedy for my baby. She...

Wondering if anyone has any experience with any of the above. My newborn son seems to be uncomfortable at times. he has always been very gassy, but doesn't seem to have a problem passing it. However, it seems like he is grunting and pushing more often now with his poops and while he is passing...

My DS is two weeks old. He cries for about 2-3 hours every evening at 6pm. We thought it was gas, so I gave him baby gasX, which he threw up for 2-3 nights. He is gaining weight wonderfully, born 8#8oz, now is over 10 pounds. My DH take 15 minute shifts while he cries. He screams...... I feel...

Hi everyone! My baby boy Gavin is two months old tomorrow. For the past few weeks he screams after feedings. I thought it was gas so our ped told us to use Gripe Water and Mylicon. The Mylicon seems to do nothing for him, but the Gripe Water seems to soothe him a bit. He spits up (what looks like)...

My 10 week old son, since he was three weeks old, has had gassy spells and fussiness especially in the evening, somewhere between 5:30pm going up to 8:30pm or a bit later. His feedings during that time is plainly difficult, it can stretch out for an hour. During that time he has difficulty...

Here's my next dilemna............... I changed Brandon's formula from Neosure to Isomil soy because he had really bad colic. He ended up in the hospital on 7/1 because he just stopped eating on the Neosure. The Pedi kept telling me that it wasn't his milk causing the problem, but I switched him...

Hi My newest little one who is 6.5 weeks old seems to have an issue with gas/colick where he brings his knees to his chest or will arch his back almost in a painful kind of manner. I am currently using something called Ovol which is supposedly a gas releaver for infants, and I have tried gripe...

BC - Let me know if I should not post this and I will delete it. There is a pharmacy here in St. Martinville, LA that mixes meds for colicky babies. I was at my wits end with Mattie, so my pediatrician told me to call the pharmacy and they will mix the meds (all natural) and to give to...

My DS is 17 days old born at 33 weeks. He is still in the NICU (should be home any day now!) as a feeder and grower. I am having issues with my breastmilk coming in, however I am still trying my best to give him as much breastmilk as possible. He seems to be content with the breastmilk, however,...

Did anyone else use these? We just got one (we have 11wk twins) and our son has been in it for 3 weeks - we LOVE IT. Needless to say baby B is now getting her own. We're now sleeping all night and can go down right after feedings w/out getting an upset tummy. THIS THING ROCKS!!!!!

Our DS is 7 weeks old. He was 'colickly' (2-3 hour crying fits in the evening) for only about a week or two but he is a fussy/restless baby all the time. He also has reflux which we have gotten basically under control with zantac. My issue is that he only sleeps for 2-3 hours at a time night...

Tonight I have decided to make a bunch of changes. My lo seems to now be able to sleep for an extended period 5-6 hours. (at least extended for a colic baby) However, it seems to be at the wrong time. From 6:30-7'ish he can sleep til about 1:30 am. But then is up every 2 hours after that. ...

Hey Ladies, I learned of how beneficial chiropractic help can change a colicky baby because of another post on this forum. I took my (at the time) 4wk old DD to see a chiropractor who treated infants and children. I was skeptical, but willing to try anything as most parents of colicky...

DD is 3 1/2 weeks old and has been fussy since we brought her home. At first she showed signs of reflux, so I took her to the Pedi and he discovered she had an ear infection. We put her on antibiotics and started Zantac. She use to spit up 3-4x after eating, now we're down to maybe 1 time. Other...

Hi ladies, As I type this I can hear my beautiful 4 week old baby boy screaming in the other room as my DH tries (for another night since he was born) to comfort him. Its the same old story every evening from 5pm until 11pm. My baby boy pulls up his legs to his chest, red faced screams at the...
