Colic ?

[Colourfulltrees]

Not sure if baby has colic he is my third ans didn't have this with my other two. I no babies cry but he seems different like a cry and I can't do anything to settle him.

He cries in the evening from about 7pm to 12am he is a very windy baby. Farts a lot and I always get him to burp after a feed.

I don't no what to try or do, does infracol work if so how much do u give? Does mam anti colic bottles work any advise be great. Thanks

Colic means unexplained crying - because they don't "diagnose" anything, although it's likely to be digestive discomfort. I had this with my first. Infacol seemed to help for a couple of days but tbh you just have to get through it. It's awful! No long-term harm though.

You might get people telling you to cut out dairy in case it's an allergy, although I assume you are not breastfeeding? Can't advise on teats as mine were BF at that age.

I also remember looking up "purple crying" eg https://www.hey.nhs.uk/patient-leaflet/prolonged-purple-crying-in-babies-information-for-parents-and-carers/ as that seemed to describe it.

If you're worried, film the screaming and take them to the gp and show them it. I look back on the video i took and it was horrendous. Tbh the gp didn't do much and it fizzled out after a couple of months.

You could also look up how to massage the stomach to get wind out. Good luck.
