My baby's colic and I'm going crazy

[Crimetv1]

I feel I need some words off reason because right now I am crying along with my baby since 1pm he has been crying with maybe a ten minute nap and it's now 8:22pm got to the point I did a poo with my son in my arms because he was crying I cannot leave him to cry it's such a painful cry and then he starts to cough he's one month now and I feel completely useless nothing I do settles him I've done massage, colic drops, anti colic bottles, burping, nappy change, rocking, singing, feed, music, baby wrap attached to me that was the ten minute nap he had, I feel like I need some conversation for my sanity I have to admit today was the worse so far as there's no break in between it's continues screaming I know he can't help it poor thing this what makes me cry because I should be patient but after 7 hours I'm starting to cry aswell.

Any parents out there similar situations please I need story's is there a light near soon? Need to distract myself and feel like a normal mum I can't even get out the house and meet people the amount off friends I have loss because I'm a parent it's the isolation as well I know mental health is important but sometimes you can't stop things that effect your well-being it's just life. Arhhhh parents lets have a good chat 😅😅😅😅 as you can see one stressed mummy

At that age its most likely a developmental leap. My ds3 is nine weeks now and just out the other side of leap two and I genuinely thought there was a need for A&E some nights. Then overnight he changed to the calmest baby with the hugest smiles, big voices and cooing noises and watches his hands and feet. The reward of them learning these new things drowns out those horrible days. Babies brains are expanding and making connections at an unprecedented rate when small, it's hard, confusing, tiring and probably hugely unsettling and maybe even painful sometimes just like we'd get headaches with information overload

You have my utmost sympathy. Ds1 used to cry literally all day every moment he was awake and then from 5pm-1am he would scream hysterically and nothing we did would stop it. I tried everything. I felt like I was about to lose my mind.

When he was 10-11 weeks he calmed down and by 12 weeks he was a different baby. He’s 2 now and a happy little soul. I’d never have thought that during his colic days.

It is so hard but it won’t be forever. You’ll get through it and it will get better soon. On the plus side I was expecting the same from ds2 when he was born and he was an absolute dream which certainly was a nice surprise!

My DS had colic. I used to use dentinox, infacol and gripe water in every bottle, which were dr brown bottles. I’d burp him, cycle his little legs, do constipation massages on his tummy, and also discovered from him having a hip scan (he’s a twin) that lying him on his side and lift his leg up towards his chest in conjunction with everything eventually produced some wind.

His screams of pain have still stuck with me (he’s 19 months now) and every burp and parp he does now still brings me joy and a little reminder of how bad it was! It eventually settled at 16 weeks. We’ve got a euan the dream sheep which helped him settle to sleep once I’d managed to get the wind out of him and still does.

Good luck, it will get better, honestly!

Ask for ranitidine.

My dd has cma and reflux. It was utter hell in the beginning.

My 10 week baby is a completely different baby since I gave up dairy. So much happier and none of those awful painful screams. Good luck x

I can relate completely, my little one started screaming like this around week 3 and it didn't go away until week 16-17.. hang in there.. we been at the GP plenty times even health visitor was shocked when saw how uncomfortable the baby was and we tried everything to calm him.down. in the end it was the GP who called us an ambulance as I was concerned about his breathing, I rushed to the GP once she checked him called ambulance right away.. that was the worst moment in my life honestly.. in the end it work out well.. his breathing issues was because of reflux it was burning his throat so badly it was hurting him while breathing.. plus while in the hospital they did so many checks find out he has some heart murmur plus more small things going on with his heart.. all is good now we still have ranitidine and we are 7 and a half months now, that's the only medicine which is helping him for the reflux.. and I forgot to mention we tried everything with my other half, massage the baby do cycling we had gripe water..all other medications we could get but in the end the ranitidine is the only thing help plus we swapped the milk for comfort milk, that was hugge help as well.
Your Health visitor is your best adviced and I'm sure she can help you come up with something.. most of the time in my opinion colic babies have some other sickness hidden.. reflux or something similar or just the milk is not good enough for them..
And my son was non stop on my hands too until today he is falling asleep in my arms and it's really really nice cuddling with him like that.. you gonna be ok give it a time and push your GP about checking the baby up more.. and one more thing, my son's breath was horribly acidic. It smelled like a drink person after vomiting.. I knew that time something is wrong..
