::sigh:: My 15 minutes is up.

Time to go pick up the kid up out of the swing & let him scream on me.

::e-hugs:: I feel your pain. I hate(d) when people say this but it will get better! Natalie is 100x better then what she was a month ago. She's still a cranky baby but nothing like before.

Seriously, how can a kid cry this much????

and not just cry, but scream?  With the exception of 30 minutes that I managed to get him asleep & the two bottles he's had, he has screamed since 7am.

Yesterday he cried 12 hours straight.  Without napping.  Which was better than Monday's 13 hours.

I can't even imagine.  You are one strong woman.  I'm sending sleep dust your way...

The first 3 months were really rough here for us as well.

I used to love feeding times because it was the ONLY time she was quiet. (FFFC I guess?) When people say "it will get better" they really mean it. He'll get the hang of life soon and everyone will be MUCH happier.

Oh...and the sleep dust is for H, but you're welcome to sprinkle a little on yourself once he's out for a nap...

There are days when I wonder how G doesn't get hoarse from all the crying and screaming. Fortunately those days are getting fewer and farther apart. I hope the same happens quickly for you too!

Hand in there!

You poor thing!! Did your doc diagnose Harrison as having colic? We had a really rough time with Tahlia from 6 weeks-11weeks.  Then we decided to start some type of daily schedule/routine.  Do you guys have one? I know this sounds like such a simple solution to such a big problem but it has really helped us.  Tahlia is crying a lot less, getting more sleep (during the day at least) and is all around a lot happier.  I think the lack of consistency and the amount of chaos in her life was making her an unhappy baby.  As soon as we started scheduling naps around the same time each day and following a pretty strict bedtime routine she became less fussy.  Just a thought.  Hope things get better for you.

The pedi said it's colic.

& yep, we have a routine.  Typically.  But now it's impossible to do a routine because he just won't sleep.  & he's too little to CIO.  Normally he goes down for a nap at 10am, but 2 1/2 hours later, he's still awake despite every attempt under the sun.

You must be exhausted.  Wish I had some words to comfort you.  All I can say is thank god he is so adorable.  That is what I always tell my LO when she is non stop screaming!
