Thankyou Reading other stories has brought tears to my eyes. Tears of relief i think. I really, really appreciate everyones comments. I really think tho that there needs to be alot more support for mums with colic babies. And alot more awareness of what it can be like.
But yeah, he was diagnosed with the colic first by the gp, then by 2 different paed's in different towns so i'd say its definatly colic. But he is also on reflux medication losec wich hasn't made a difference as of yet. Fingers crossed tho.
I've tried every off-the-shelf medication for it, none which worked. And all the specialists say 'it will go away with age'. I've never been so patient (or impatient) in my life.
Assemble an army. Get who you can to come over and take baby for an outing or walk for a couple of hours. Eat, shower and sleep in this time. You will feel stronger if you know you can get a break. Don't be afraid to ask for help, this is no reflection on you, your parenting or the colour of your hair.
You are not alone. I'm so glad you came in here - I don't know what I would have done without BB during this time (DS is 3 now). He settled a little at 4 months and I don't think I got out of my pj's the whole time!
