[quote=Anonymous]I’m so sorry OP, I have been there. In addition to ruling out all the GI issues, here was my magic tip:

Baby Got Colic - try the hour long YouTube video (don’t watch, it’s creepy). I bought the music download and played it on loop all the time. Like all night during sleep, whenever he was super fussy. We tried SO many kinds of white noise, but this was the only thing that worked. I would stand in the pitch black bathroom, baby in the carrier, doing deep squats and listening to that recording over and over until magically at 3/4 months old, he was a super happy baby, and then a joyful toddler!

Also, do not feel bad walking with a crying baby. Maybe not at midnight, but seriously, babies cry. It’s part of life. We lived in the city when my colicky baby was a newborn and I would get lots of weird locks pushing him screaming around the block, but eventually he would fall asleep. And the fresh air and movement helped me too. I did occasionally have to reassure nosy old ladies that he had just been fed and burped, didn’t have a dirty diaper, wasn’t too hot or cold etc.

I had two more kids after my first, and they were both super easy babies! I was sooo worried, but most people I know who had colicky babies just had one. [/quote]
