colic???

[nickluvseli]

having ethan was great at first but now i am really ready to scream and cry.. i want to believe that there is a reason for his cries... but when you are tired of hearing it all day you wonder if he is colicy or if he just likes the sound of his voice. i have taken some advice from my wte girls. the main thing that seems to be working is the 5 S's

when you are eliminating something from your diet to see if that is what is bothering him you have to do it for more than 2 days. Sometimes it can take up to 3 weeks to clear his sytem. It takes patience! If you think it might be milk give it up for a month. Then re-introduce it slowly and if his symptoms come back then you know what it is.

Do some research on food allergies and intolerances. Look up the food allergy and anaphalixis network. I think its faan dot org. Google it or look at websites like askdrsears.

Some pediatricians believe that colic is caused by food sensativities where as others believe that some babies just cry more than others. But if there is a cause, isn't it worth finding it to cure his bellyache?

trust me i am desperate but today i didthe 3 's i know and he slept just fine all day and the only time he was fussy was the last hour but he passed out from bieng swaddled and of coures he was having gulping sounds in his throat when he was drinking and would cry so im going to have to look into it all.
