Colic?

in July 2015 Moms
My LO has been having freak outs for the past week now. She will have about 1-3 a day and nothing I do calms her. Once she does calm down she sleeps. I feel like I'm not spending enough time with her awake and it breaks my heart to hear her cry like that. She is almost 10 weeks old. I know it may be a phase but is there anything anyone can think of that may help her? She does still smile a lot though so that keeps me sane :)

    Colic calm. It's amazing!! But it is black and can stain clothes so make sure you put a bib on your LO. Also prepare yourself for black poop lol. It really does wonders. Calls for 1.25 ml for my baby's age/weight but we give .25 ml and that's always enough to calm her within minutes. Good luck!!!

    Have you tried gripe water? When my son gets fussy I swaddle him, give gripe water, rock him, give him a pacifier & play the Lullaby song on repeat.

    Your baby may be experiencing a leap! They get fussy during those milestones and leap weeks. Do you use The Wonder Weeks app? I thought I was going to lose my mind till someone told me about this app.

    Any idea if she's going through a leap or growth spurt?

    If not, and you really need a break I second Colic Calm, it's expensive compared to other gripe waters (about $20 at CVS I think) but you don't need that much so it should last a while, like PP said you can probably get away with using less than the recommended dose.

    I agree with colic calm! Our LO doesn't have colic, I don't think- but it helps with his tummy issues....my husband found it on amazon so we tested it out!

    Thanks everyone! I have tried gripe water but it's hit and miss. I'll have to get my hands on some colic calm. I do have the wonder years app and she finished a leap a few days ago. Maybe I will wait a few more days to see if it was just a growth spurt.

    Colic Calm didn't work for us. I bought Mommys Bliss at target and I think it works better. Good luck!

    I didn't find gripe water or anything help my little one. The stroller or holding her and bouncing her on a excersize ball helped a bit! Such a hard time! Your doing great and it will pass!!!
