[quote=Anonymous]When I asked my pediatrician if colic would end, he said, emphatically, "It ALWAYS ends." He told me that more than once, and I reminded myself of it every day.

You have to try different things. My baby hated swings and strollers and changing formula didn't help. Being upright against my body in a Baby Bjorn was one success. He would still cry but often would fall asleep.

I would sometimes put him down in his crib while crying just to take a break. After a while he did not nap. It was extremely draining.

I would hand him to my husband when he came home at night. I would go to my parents just to be around someone else whike he cried.

We would put him in the car seat and drive in the car at night to put him to sleep. That was magic and such a relief.

One day at about three months old, in the middle of screaming, he smiled at me. After that, there was a reduction in crying and his very happy, laughing personality started emerging. Just in time, because I was having a hard time with it.

It tapered off at four months with just some fussiness in the evening until about six months and then he was delightful. He slept through the night around four months because he rarely napped and that was a plus.

Hang in there. It will change.[/quote]
