My baby is 4 weeks old and for the last week or so has stopped sleeping in the day. I've started going for mammoth walks as the pram always manages to get her to sleep. And to ensure she is getting a decent amount of sleep in the day, I stay out for a couple of hours. She has a few alert times in the day where she's coo-ing and happy but if she's not feeding and she's been up for a while, she cries a lot. She can be soothed to an extent but the pram really is the only way she will sleep (in the day).
Tonight she was awake for a good 3-4 hours after her last pram induced sleep. She was clearly knackered but was in hysterics. I'm starting to wonder if what I think is overtiredness is actually colic. She is now asleep as DP took her out in the pram - she was asleep before he'd got out of the gate. So, does the fact that she calms down once she's slept suggest she's over tired or do I need to face facts and accept she might have colic? I don't think she looks like she's in pain but I've noticed that when I try and wind her after a feed, it's getting harder to bend her as she stiffens up especially when she's upset.
