Bad Memories of Colic

I was lucky with my twin girls, but not so lucky with my son. My son was born 4 years after my daughters. He was healthy when he was born, but when he was 10 weeks old, he developed colic.

It was the longest 12 weeks I have ever experienced. After we could think past all of the headache's and few nights of no sleep, we began to notice a different cry. This cry sounded different and was mostly after meals. We took our son to the doctor and discovered that he had colic.

I had read about many different types of massages that would help to soothe a colicky baby. My husband and I would massage him after ever feeding and this did help the situation, but it didn't make the situation go away right away.

I must say this was a very hard time on our whole family, but after 12 weeks it slowly went away. It takes lots of love!
