Colic

Avery has colic and I don't think I'm going to make it to 6 months.. He doesn't sleep at night, can't nap by himself, screams relentlessly every night... Nothing seems to help and I feel like I'm about to have a break down

I was just reading on Mayo Clinic's website that it improves in most babies at 3 months.  Sorry, I'm no help, but 3 months is better than 6, hopefully he'll get better soon.

Our babies are about the same age and we're dealing with the same thing at our house. We learned about 2 weeks ago that he has reflux and the meds have made some difference but I'm starting to look into switching his formula.

I don't know what you feed him but I'm reading some good things about Meyenberg's goat milk formula. I've read a lot of reviews online and there's some people who've said it's helped their baby's colic. I haven't made the switch just yet but I'm leaning that way. May be going out to buy some of this in the morning.

i have been there with you!! i am the mother of a 5 year old and a 3 month old.  my 5 yr old had colic so bad!! sometimes all that i could do was cry with her.  it was every night for 3 hours straight, same time every night.  we would be embarrassed to have others watch her.  rocking, gentle movements seemed to help.  as silly as it sounds, singing to her helped as well.  towards the end, we also started wrapping her up in a swaddle and placing a blanket on the dryer and putting her on top of it.  that worked well.  also, holding her with her back towards me, like in a cradle over my arms while i rubbed her back helped too.

take a break and have others watch your lo.  it helps!  also, emma's colic just magically went away at 3 months..........just one day, she was totally fine.  she also had reflux as well, so you may want to check with your doc if that is not the issue.  also, have you tried changing formulas?  just some suggestions for you.  but, it does get better.
