Hello - For all new parents whose baby is suffering from Colic and/or Reflux you have my sympathy and also this message of support - It does get better!
My daughter is now 16 weeks old and has just experienced her first week of happy, smiling, "normal" baby behaviour and the joy it brings to my fiance is wonderful. Since birth, she has never had a day of crying for less than 3 hours a day and when I say crying, I mean screaming. It always looked like she was in agony, would arch her back and be completely incolsolable. To begin with their was no pattern to her behaviour. None of this 6pm colic nonsense - it seemd to be 24/7 - but then settled into a regular pattern where in every 3 hour cycle she would breastfeed for an hour, be alert, smily and playful for 20-30 mins then scream inconsolably for 1.5 hours whilst I paced up and down the kitchen with her in my arms. Then the cycle would restart and was only broken by her, fortunately, sleeping quite well at night - 8pm to 2am. We were lucky in that regard.
We tried all the medicines, infracol, infant gaviscion, gripewater, colief and none touched it. When people tell you the first 6 weeks are the hardest that's no consolation when you're in the 7th week and nothing has changed. Then they tell you everything will be ok by 12 weeks. It can push you over the edge when you get to week 13 and things appear to be worse. And then, for us, all of a sudden the crying subsides and only hungry, tired, bored cry is heard.
Like I said it took 15 weeks and it seems like 15 years but it will happen for you too.
Oh yeah - she's sick all the time - but that's a breeze compared to the crying.
