Can colic start over 3months old?

[GirlWithTheMouseyHair]

DS had colic which thankfully calmed by 10 weeks and by 4months he was calmer and 6months easy peasy, but newborn was hell.

DD is now 14weeks, not a calm or placid baby but alert and at least not colicky. She's always had wind issues but not to same extent as DS.

We emigrated 3 weeks ago and about a week ago the evening meltdowns like DS's newborn colic began. She generally goes from 0-100 in seconds anyway but our evenings from about 5:30 have become more fraught, it's now 9:30 and I can't tell you how many times I've resettled her between screaming fits.

She's sleeping in my arms in bed now, we've coslept from the start but recently tried moving her to a cot, in a gobaf because I think swaddling is starting to piss her off. Am blathering but exhausted, remind me this too shall Pass

Sounds difficult for you. How are you feeding her? Maybe it is a growth spurt / wants comfort (stresses of change due to moving?) and she wants to stay feeding? Or do you recognise other signs which tell you it is pain not demand to feed?

She gets really tense, legs up to tummy, will suddenly scream out of nowhere, and when she's really screaming will do very violent farts

But later on this eve she's calmed quickly once held and is sleeping soundly now in bed with me.

Maybe we should shelve trying to stop cosleeping

Colic typically stops at 12 weeks but my DD suffered from terrible painful wind until about 6 months old. Co-sleeping was the only thing that got us through it. It is so stressful when you can't console them and they cry all evening but it will pass, just hang in there. :)

Cranial osteopath sorted my extremely colicky ds1 out x

We were seeing as osteopath before we moved, didn't seem to make any difference but as soon as our insurance is sorted I'll ask our paediatrician

Could she be teething? Maybe with the tiredness, it's making the pain worse.

That prob is a major contributing factor. She chomps on anything she can shove in her mouth like nothing else. So maybe calpol before bed?

Yes, I'd try Calpol before bed, see wether it makes a difference.
