    I found it calmed down around the 2 month mark....

    Occasionally I will still get screaming fits from both of them at the same time...

    Want me to come for a visit tomorrow so I can add my two screamers into the mix as well?

    oh lordy good luck mate. I had 2 screaming at once for a long time. I often would put Jovie in the sling so I could just have hands free to deal with Matilda. Do you have a HAB? If not when my stuff gets here I'll post you mine.

    Both my kids did this too. DS i was so uneducated though. But with DD i learnt there are things out there like Infant's Friend and Infacol.
    Do you know why he's crying? Does he look to have any colic or be in pain? Does he do it reguarily at night? As soon as we started DD on Infacol (at 1 month) shes slept through the night and has been a perfect angel since. If it keeps up might be worth giving one of those a try? You can get them at the chemist.

    Best of luck, and i know what you are going through hun

    I hope he was settled for the rest of the day PP.

    I'll be there with bells on tomorrow to give you a hand

    (OOhh that reminds me - you know the old type of bells that you shake and it like, tinkles? my chiro uses that to quiet the babies when he does treatment on them - it shuts them up straight away.. that could be useful huh? lol)

    lol mel!! *runs off to buy bells*

    kell - we tried infacol with no real luck - been using bruars colic formula for a few days now.
    he crys when tired but dd wakes him up but if he is in a silent room he wont settle - go figure
