I have tried everything warm baths, tummy massages and even gripe water and mylicon drops. I don’t know what else to do, I even changed his formula to Gentle Ease for fussy and gassy babies. I am so tired and I don’t get much rest because he cries so much. Any suggestions??!!!
I’m really starting to lose my mind. I’m just looking for suggestions to help comfort my baby. My husband works double shifts half an hour away so I’m alone from 2:30am – 7:30pm with my little screaming machine. Help!
(I use mylicon gas drops, gripe water, sling, swing, bouncer, boppy, car seat, stroller… she still screams. 
)
I have a 2 month old baby, it’s our first. She is breastfed exclusively and is growing just fine, but she has a lot of gas ALL the time. My poor baby starts sleeping and you can see her bending and stretching because of the colic, and you can also hear her tummy sounds everytime it happens, so she wakes up very easily and never has a good straight sleep. I know she is not supposed to sleep a lot at this stage, but I would love if she could sleep 2 straight hours in between feedings with less colic. She doesn’t last too much inside her crib before she is awaken by the pain and this puts a lot of stress in my wife. We’ve tried Mylicon and don’t feel it helps much or probably not at all. Has anyone tried anything else that helps with the gas? Thanks.
I want to try it since my baby seems VERY gassy/fussy, and Mylicon/Ovol/regular gripe water, doesn’t seem to help much. and the Colic Calm is BLACK, and FDA approved, its homeopathic.
My daughter has a pretty serious case of colic, and to top it off she actually has a molar coming in and she’s only 7 and a half weeks old! I couldn’t believe it. Needless to say she’s been feeling pretty miserable lately. She will only sleep when she’s being held or put in her swing or car seat, and will only relax when she’s given tylenol or is being bounced in my arms or on my knee. So as a result I have slept 15 minutes to 3 hours a night for the last 3 weeks. With a few all nighters in between. I honestly don’t know how I’m functioning right now, I’m just so run down. I’ve tried everything to help her sleep and stop crying. Swaddling, shushing, warm baths, Mylicon, The Happiest Baby On The Block, you name it and I’ve probably tried it. Her pediatrician prescribed an antispasmodic (Levsin Drops) to help her relax and sleep, but I’ve been doing some reading online and I’m feeling a little hesitant to give her Belladonna because the possible side effects seem so serious. I’m tempted to just try and survive the next few weeks on my own but I was wondering if anyone on Y!A had tried Levsin and what there experience was. If you’ve tried them did they work? Did your baby have any side effects? Would you recommend them? Thanks!
My baby seems to have major gas. It sometimes keeps both of us up for most of the night. I have tried Mylicon and Levsin drops. Does anybody have any more suggestions?
