Can colic come back?

[chinateacup]

Thought we kicked it but have had a hideous 24 hrs. Doc says nothing physically wrong but much crying and writhing. Just wondered if it returns ?

I assume it can because when you think about it colic is only trapped gas in the stomach which is causing really bad belly ache, so i supppose it can happen at any age. Try taking him/her out in the pushchair over rough ground because movement can help move the trapped air. My little boy was terrible for colic so i feel your pain. More than once i used my feet to push the pushchair back and forth in the living room so he would be able to go off to sleep whilst watching eastenders. I hope it gets better soon. x

Both my DDs had colic. DD1 was horrendous day and night. DD2 has just had a month of regular 3 hour crying bouts in the evening.

I bought some Bio Gaia drops (probiotics) last week. The first day I gave her them in the morning with syringe, just mixed them with some expressed milk. That night - 3 hours crying as usual. More drops the next morning, that night - lots of poos and passing wind but no crying. She fell asleep at the time her colic normally passed so no extra sleep really. The next 3 nights, still no crying and fewer poos and wind and her bedtime has come forward too. It hasn't been a week yet but fingers crosses it's gone.

Think you can only get them online but they've worked better than the cranial osteopathy we tried with DD1.

I didn't have colic experience, but dd had quite bad reflux, and we eventually got it under control with gaviscon, plus tilting her cot etc. Every time she had another set of infant jabs though, she would be back at square one with the reflux. I mentioned it to the GP, who basically poo pooed it (my imagination, pfb, etc), but it was true. She had reflux, we got it under control, she had another jab, she got reflux again. It would take something like 4-6 weeks to sort out each time.

Is this at all relevant to your situation? Good luck with it all.....
