Living A Nightmare With Colicky Baby

It was just so sad to see my daughter in pain not only in the evenings but practically ALL DAY! Nothing would settle her and I tried absolutely everything so just ended up crying with her because I felt so helpless and alone with this problem. I had no sleep and either did she. It was the hardest, most stressful thing I've ever been through. I would rather go through labour pain again than see my baby suffer the way she did with severe colic and the doctors just kept telling me she will grow out of it.. all I wanted was a cure!

Anyway at the time it feels like a lifetime of suffering but colic really does go away. For us it gradually started getting better at 4 months! :)

All you need is patience remember it is not your baby's fault she / he's in pain.. I could never get angry at her.. my sympathy and love for my daughter helped me get through it and now she's a healthy happy 9 month old :)

If I managed to get through colic almost 24 hours a day for 4 whole months TRUST ME so can you xx

Colic
by: Anonymous

My son had colic for 4 1/2 months. He cried day and night and we did not sleep. Instead I walked the floor with him trying my best to offer what comfort I could. We did not sleep much and when we did it was with my son sleeping on my chest with me in the middle of my bed with pillows stacked on both sides to prevent any falls. I knew it was not the ideal way for either of us to sleep, but it was the only way we got ANY! If your baby has colic there will be moments when you feel you can't go on and life can start to seem unfair, but it will get better. Just hang on to that and keep going for the sake of your child. My son is now a happy and healthy ten month old that is walking and talking up a storm. Bless all who have this issue with their child. I was more exhausted with this than when I was working full time job that required travel and going to college taking double full time schedule. Peace be with you and know that your child is a gift and cherish even these hardest of times for they will make you appreciate the good times when they come.
