Who else is a member of the Fussy Baby Club?

ShadyKull · April 2013

I love my little guy to bits and pieces, but man is it exhausting trying to keep him happy all day. He has plenty of happy awake time, but it tends to quickly turn into cranky pants time and then I quickly try to get him to take a nap before his mood deteriorates even more. He is pretty gassy, which doesn't help either. I don't think he quite meets the criteria for Colic, as his "inconsolable" crying fits don't last too long thankfully. I have definitely noticed an increase from a few weeks ago in fussiness, so hopefully it will be true for us that it peaks around 6 weeks and then starts decreasing again.

Who is with me in the club?

You can add me to the club! I described DD's symptoms to our doctor and she immediately suggested colic. Not sure if it's true colic as it doesn't happen every night, but no matter what you call it, it sucks. She screams for hours some days. She won't eve

I'm with you! Although I think my little one may constitute colic. She is a gassy little thing and will go into fits after eating. I'm praising Jesus right now bc she has been awake for almost 2 hours in her swing with no yelling (yay!). When things get r

Good to know we are not alone ladies! I always see people posting about how their babies only cry when they are hungry. Lucky ducks. I just keep telling myself that my little guy is just a good self-advocate

My son is like this as well! Some days are better than others. I don't think he technically has colic, but sometimes I wonder. I love him more than anything, but agree that it is exhausting! Everyone tells me that it will pass, and I jus
