Desperate- 24 hour "colic"

[MsPea]

My dd is 4 weeks old. Over the last week and a half she has gradually become less settled and more grizzly to the point where now she basically screams unless she is feeding or asleep (which she doesn't do very much). It's driving me wild, it is so hard to see her so unhappy and I feel I must be doing something wrong. We have had her checked by the dr who says its colic and we are using infacol which doesn't seem to be doing much. I thought colic happened regularly in the evening for a few hours, not all the time. Can this really be colic? Has anyone else experienced it?

This is the baby who gains half a pound a week, yes? And you're the mum who has 'tons' of milk?

No - she does not need to be woken up.

It's unusual for a baby of this age to go through the night, and it will probably not last, but while it does, I can't see it doing any harm at all.....if you think she is suffering in some way if you do let her sleep, then you can revert to waking her, anyway.

then we'll make the most of it while it lasts...
