Daytime colic?

[candr]

My DS (9weeks) has had colic at night for some time. Tries to feed and it seems to trigger it as he screams and you can't break his concentration, as soon as he is calm he tries to feed and it starts again untill he passes out knackered after 2-3 hours. We have tried everything massages, baths, colief, infacol, baths and are now on gripe water which seems to have loosend his bowls (3 times today as opposed to 1 every 3 days) but has been doing his screaming fits alot during the day aswell for the last 2 days. Is this colic? He is ebf and normally calm and chilled - really want some ideas about helping him avoid the screaming.

My Son suffered with colic in the first few months too, we also tried and used everythin you mentioned but the only thing that actually helped him was Dentinox Colic Drops, you put the drops in to their milk - it really helped bring up his wind and a drop on his dummy when he was screamin always calmed him down. Other then that, as hard as it is, we just had to wait for it to pass but the Dentinox Colic Drops took the edge right off it! Best Wishes x

I'm not sure what colic actually is.

But I would ask - how is he napping in the day? When babies get massively overtired, they basically scream their heads off (hence you see it a lot at the end of the day). He might be too tired to feed hence getting upset.

Try less stimulation - forget the baths, massage etc - it's too much for many tiny babies to take him. Use a sling or carry him a lot so he can sleep a lot easier (will be comforted by your presence) - after a week you should see a difference. Also try and avoid too much play - not necessary really. Don't bother with baby gyms or the like until older and can handle it (as little babies can't escape and look away).
