Anyone have a baby that WASN'T colicky?

What's it like?

I envisage a lovely calm household with a chilled out baby who has lovely sleeps, feeds like a dream, minimal stress and better sleep for Mum. Ah it must be wonderful looks wistfully into the distance

DC2 was amazing. Calm, relaxed, happy. I can’t remember an occasion where he cried and I couldn’t stop it immediately. Very clingy baby, but I didn’t care because he was lovely to be around!

I thought DD had colic or reflux at first but then I realised she was just tired. Although that didn't really solve anything as getting an overtired baby to sleep is quite a challenge! I spent a lot of time walking around the park with her in a sling at all times of day!

I've had three babies and no colic. First was a dream. She would cluster feed in the evenings and then sleep. Second would nap well but never slept longer than two hours. Third had reflux but slept very well.

All three bf, no formula. All 4 of their cousins had formula and all 4 had colic.

Yes my second baby wasn't colicky (first was dreadful til 13 weeks then slept through - prior to that 4 hours max before cycling legs and screaming baby!)
He's been the most difficult child to be honest somoerhaps colic isn't always the worst thing 😉

It definitely makes me feel better to know that non-colicky/refluxy babies don't sleep and cry lots too! Although I wish some of you would stop rubbing it in 🤣😁

@Mamimawr wow, you should do some evidence-based research on that, as another thing to beat ff mums round the head with. Ffs.

@londonloves I chose to ignore that.. with DS (ff) a friend's little boy also had reflux, more severely than mine. He was ebf.
