Colic?

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 
Sadie is 3 1/2 weeks old. Since about 2 weeks she's had a screaming fit every night from about 10:30 until 12:30 or 1. Nothing seems to console her. She isn't hungry, she's changed and dry, warm and swaddled, but she's just so fussy around that time.

I have tried bouncing her, rocking her, walking her, swaying with her, singing to her, holding her tight against me, skin to skin, tightly swaddled, loosely swaddled, not swaddled at all, etc. You name it and I think I've tried it. She'll stop crying for a minute or two here and there, and just when I sigh in relief that she's calmed down she starts in again.

So, does this sound like colic? I have no experience with it as DS was the most laid back baby in the world. If that's what this is, is there anything I can do? Or do I just have to ride it out? When will she outgrow it?

My ds is fussy every evening from about 7-9 or 10pm.. We made some breastfeeding changes and started block nursing ect.. and it has helped but definately not eliminated it.

My dd was like that too we would walk her till all hours of the night. She outgrew it by about 3mos. I don't know if your lo has what would be defined as colic or not but in my experience a lot of kids have at the least a "fussy time" and usually outgrow it by about 3mos.
