Colic - please help me.

[Writerwannabe83]

I don't know if this is the right place to post and ask for help but I'm tearful and desperate for support,

My 19 day old baby seems to be suffering from colic and I don't know what to do. His screaming is breaking my heart because he seems to be in so much pain. We started giving Infacol last week which seemed to help but he's screaming again tonight. He usually screams for 2-3 hours before he wears himself out.

The only thing that settles him is when he's at the breast but I can't help worry that by feeding him I'm just making it worse - I hear his stomach gurgling every time he swallows.

When he's at his worst I can't stop crying - I just can't bear to see him so distressed.

I don't know what the purpose of my post is....I just need someone to tell me that things will get better.

We've had another good night again so far - touch wood.

I'm hoping that now the antibiotics are out his system it means his stomach is more more settled. He's definitely improved at bringing his wind up over the last few days too.

I'm fully prepared for the fact there may be really crappy nights again at some hit, but for now I'm just grateful me and DH are getting the chance to catch up on our sleep
