I seriously admire moms of colicky babies

SammyJJo

DS was absolute hell for two nights over the long weekend (don't know why, I tried everything and he would not stop wailing), the past two nights he returned to his more peaceful self. 

Those few days made me seriously consider what it would be like to have a baby with colic and I have to tip my hat to you ladies.  I'm sure you're under-appreciated in more ways than I can count, so let me just say how much I admire you!  Your little ones will thank you one day (ok, probably not until they have their own kids, but one day nonetheless) until then have a drink, and treat yourself to something nice, , you deserve it!

It is hard work but, like everything else in this world of parenting, you just deal with it and make it through! I'm so thankful that K's colic starting letting up around 12-13 weeks.

still dealing with it here.  it is he!!.  I had my 6 week check up and had a long talk with the OB about me feeling down.  He said when her colic goes away I will feel better.   But he made a note to chat again in 4 weeks at my IUD check.  It is hard, especially with a 3.5 year old!!

it's rough, I cannot lie. I like to refer to 5pm as the witching hour, as thats when he starts screaming... But you deal with it because in the grand scheme of things, its such a short period of time. I'm just counting the days til 3 months cause that's when most babies change............

Yes, it absolutely sucks and I cannot wait until it ends. I seriously hate waking up in the morning not knowing what the day has in store. I've seriously considered going back to work and sending my 6 wk old to day care (that was last week-not thinking that anymore). I just want my normal happy life back.  This is awful...I wasn't sure i wanted more than one child and I hate that right now I regret my decision. I am sure once it passes and life goes back to normal, all will be rosy.  The good thing is that when Abigail is not a screaming machine, Olivia absolutely adores her.  It is a wonderful feeling knowing I did this for her.

It does get a little hectic, as all the pp's have said. When it lets up though, it's worth it... You get your sweet, happily cooing baby back! Gripe Water has been a godsend for us, it helps his colic 110%... So nice to have a night without him constantly screaming at me.
