[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have an extremely colicky one month old baby. Right now on Similac Alimentum.

Looking for out of the box ideas, like, hold him over your head. Sing the star Spangled Banner. I dunno, something to help me get through the hours.

Preferably things that don't require my phone. It's not good for my mental health to spend hours scrolling.

My first was very colicky - like crying all day and night without breaks colicky. My husband had four weeks of leave (he worked during all of them) and then it was just the two of us for 18 weeks until I went back to work. No family help, night nurses, or nannies. This is how I got through it and went on to have two more kids:

- Sleep trained at 14 weeks 
- Watched lots of bravo
- Drank lots of coffee
- Worked out every day, both running by myself and walking with the baby and dogs
- Breastfed and supplemented as needed

She stopped crying all the time after 5 months. I wish I had asked for more help. [/quote]
