oh, kindof, do you have a vibrating bouncy chair? apparently they can help with colic pain. And if you don't and you happened to have something in the house that had a vibrating action... well it worked in sex and the city.

Kindof I second the colief suggestion, my cousins DS was near hysterical daily with colic and they tried all sorts. They tried him on this and it made a huge difference, they managed to get it on prescription too as it is expensive but worth it if it works.

Ladies how do I add a piccie from FB to here? Only for Glam's benefit as the rest of you are on there already!

We had exactly the same with C when she was about 4 weeks old and it was awful. She was/is BF. I took her to docs to check there was nothing wrong (cos I was convinced she had a blockage of some kind!) and he said her stomach felt fine. Like you, I always said it was when she needed to trump and couldn't. We massaged her stomach and found Gripe water to be best for us (couldn't use the Coeleif as it needs to go into the bottles).

All I can offer is sympathy cos it's awful hearing them cry. C would scream for about three hours every night, starting from 6-7 ish but always stopped at ten pm on the dot for some strange reason. The only thing that stopped her was carrying her up and down the living room on her back with her head hanging backwards! Killed your arms though and she started again, even if she was asleep, as soon as you sat down!

I remember saying to my OH 'It's supposed to stop (colic) at 12 weeks so only another 8 weeks to go/7 weeks to go etc'. One day, it stopped as suddenly as it started, about 4 weeks after it began.

It's horrible going through it but hang on in there, it will get better.

Big hugs to ya xxx

Thanks for all the advice

Jillie what colief??? (edit just seen Boofellys post) yeah we feed him sitting up with his head back just a little bit

Tia - Yeah thats my next step after these bottles, (NT on facebook swears by these bottles, so thought I would give them a bash)

Glam - Yeah we did, he was onto his second bottle of infacol and to be honest he has got worse as the week went on

He usually gets winded after the first ounce, then he will have two more ounces and get winded, then sometimes not all times he will have the last ounce and he will get winded again

Tia - we do but no batteries, funnily enough I was saying this to OH cos he is fine if he is sitting up cos his pumps and burps if he has any hiding in there lol work their way out but he screams if you lay him flat, so I was saying we shold get batteries for the bouncer cos he likes the vibrating motion and he isnt laying flat so might help

Boogelly ah right cool I might mention it to dr then

On a side note, should elliot be having a 6 week check up? just he hasnt got an appointment yet

ETA thanks for your post JAM its reassuring to hear it stops lol he likes wandering around the house flung over your shoulder

Tia i have just read on the science centre page that the tesco vouchers cannot be used for the cinema and it costs an extra £2.50 each to get into all the other parts- tower, imax and planeterium! they sure know how to get the money out of your pockets :P

you used to be able to copy and paste but i dont think it works anymore. there is a public link on the bottom of the photos to copy and paste the link. makes it public so glam should be able to click and see.

Oh Caz! DH says it's ok if you're scared because I'm so weird, everyone is scared of me (because I'm so weird). He said I'm a social leper. I smacked him in the face.

I thought it was just the cinema you have to pay extra for! Those theiving gits!

Kindof, don't take what I said about the bottles to heart btw, as I said, we didn't have much problems with wind, change of milk and infacol was enough to sort out our problems so I have no experience of the bottles. Hope they help! (then you can come on and say - told you so ner ner ner!)

cazscoob

give him a smack from me too!!!! well if your weird then i must be with you lol!! tell him to go and play wi his phone PMSL :D:D

cazscoob

KOAG have you spoken to the HV about the wind/crying? they might be able to give you something on prescription and save u a fortune or give you other advice we may have not thought about?
