Ella is 6 weeks old today. She has now had colic for 4 weeks straight. I went to the doctor because I thought something was wrong with her and the doctor said it was 'just colic'. JUST COLIC!!!!!!! Tell that to my frazzled nerves. I want to cry and do regularly. I don't even remember what a day with out unconsolable crying is like. I probably take her back to the doctor thinking something else was wrong with her. Our record is 12 hours a day of screaming. Daily best ; 2 hours. Those are good days. However we average about 5. We try every thing and anything all afternoon and evening. She likes the hum of the dryer that will work for a while. Nothing, however is long term. Pray for me.

know what's funny(or not)my brother was my mom's first and he had colic-bad too! Even after she had my sister-a year later he still at a year old was barley getting over it. I'm sure you and Brent pass her back & forth at the table just so one can eat in peace....! Tough stuff-definitely in MY prayers-really(:
Sing!! Sing primary songs or your favorite hymn. It probably wont calm her but it WILL calm you and help keep your spirits up. Keep going, it will pass. Concentrate on the goos things ( her cute toes, when she sleeps etc)
Hey Ashley!! I know that I havent talked to you in the longest time. Alex was a colicy baby too and I switched his formula to a gentler brand and we lived on gas drops, they also have colic tablets that just disolve on the tounge.
My sister-in-law also had a colicy baby and she would sit on one of those big excersize balls and bounce her. She said that helped alot. Anyways, hopefully something here will help you. Sorry you got a colicy baby, but hopefully she'll grow out of it by the time she's six months or younger.
ashley i feel your pain!! allie was the same way! the 1st 4 months with her were tuff!! good luck!
hey ashley, wow that sucks. your baby is beautiful though. my only advice is this: my kids were colicky if i ate 1.dairy 2. tomatoes 3.too much greens. i'm telling you, abby was so bad i couldn't even put milk in my mashed potatoes. you probably have already tried, but if not, get off dairy. it takes about 2-3 days to get it out of their system. good luck.
Hi Ashley, I'm sorry your baby has colic! Hopefully it will pass soon. I wish I could take in your cats but Duane thinks "we already have too many animals!" I hope you can find a way to convince your husband to let you keep them because it's not easy finding homes for adult cats. Good luck and you look GREAT!

Oh that really stinks...i thought Evelyn had that at first but then realized it eas just the foods i was eating like Annie said. I don't know if anyone has told you about gripe water but I heard it really helps with colic. You just buy it at like a pharmacy. Best of luck...love you.
