Million dollar baby indeed! She’s so lovely and I’m so happy she is doing so well. I still can’t believe how big she’s gotten. The crying can be unnerving I know, but it sounds like her lungs are doing just fine. What a blessing that is! Now to help her get to sleep…. It will happen!

My kids both did the same thing @ about 9-10 weeks – I don’t think it’s colic. My kids got super cranky when they were sleep deprived, so I would take several days at home to ensure good, solid naps (no napping in the car, etc.) to get them back on track.

This too shall pass. Good luck, hang in there (in my head I see a Hallmark card with a cat hanging from a branch, with your name on it!)

I have a friend who is a home nurse for moms who need help with the baby for whatever reason (sickness, depression, fears)…anyway, she always says that babies go through a phase at 10 weeks.

We had been battling colic every night for weeks (couple of hours each night) or at least so I thought, but maybe it wasnt since my little girl is only 8 weeks old yesterday. We have reflux too, and its it amazing how quickly we can tell if its a reflux pain cry or something else. My daughter is on Axid, twice daily .8 ml…. I think she is around 11 lbs now but I will know for sure next week as she has her 2 month check-up. After 2 weeks on Axid we really noticed the SCREAMS of pain were pretty much over, every now and then we get one, but nothing like what happened from 3-5 weeks of age. For the most part, Allie’s fussiness in the evenings has gone WAY DOWN..

What I want to know from reflux moms is WHY THE HELL can you sail through some days with few bouts, or just small ones, and other days its just relentless. I don’t breastfeed (please refrain from flogging me) so I just dont understand how giving her the EXACT SAME FOOD everyday produces different results. (something I plan to discuss with the doc at her appt next week).

I doubt it’s colic. I’m sure colic would’ve appeared by now. Probably just a passing mood….

Best of luck with the test. In high school I had an old New Yorker cartoon taped inside my locker door; the caption read, “Remember, in real life, there is no algebra.”

It is called Colic… starts about 9-10 weeks and if you are lucky is gone in about 6 weeks. Every night.. same time.. for same amount of time… endless pitiful crying.

Yeap. Colic, and there is nothing that can be done about it sadly. My doctor told us it was very usual in reflux babies.

Just know that it will get better.

The crying is probably a processing thing — there seems to be a cognitive leap around 10 weeks, and that’s often accompanied by crying and upset. Simon did the same thing for a week or two — thankfully, although they seem endless at the time, these stages are actually quite short!

I’m interested to hear your reflux saga, we’ve been weathering the same stormy seas with our kidlet. He was on Zantac, and has just started Prevacid. He’s only getting one dose of 7.5mg in the morning (he weighs almost 16 pounds or 7kg), so I’m curious how your Ped will correct for weight. I just gave up all cow-milk related products too, and DAMN do I want some ice cream.
Good luck on your test, when I had to take the GRE the math part almost killed me. Who the hell needs trig in the real world?

Maybe it is a wonder week. Those happen a lot the first year and usually precede some cognitive or physical leap/milestone. My son always cried, got very clingy and slept for crap. Here is a link to more information. We were usually right on the money with the dates but even adjusted, Simone may be a bit off.
