[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It sucks.[/quote]

Pretty much. I didn't have to read further than this, lol.[/quote]

Any suggestions as to how to make it suck less?[/quote]

Honestly no! And this is coming from a mother of three, expecting her fourth! Lol. It really all depends on the personality/disposition of the baby. My first and third were both colicky/reflux babies who had seriously bad witching periods every night. My first was a horrible sleeper (didn't sleep for longer than three hours until five months). My second however was a happy, easy going baby who was a great sleeper from the get go, probably because he didn't have the tummy troubles that the other two did. He was the kind of dream baby that suckers you into having another one, lol.

There are things you can do to mitigate the crying and try to prolong sleep (Happiest Baby on the Block 5 S's) but you really just have to ride the rough patches out. And keep reminding yourself: this too shall pass![/quote]
