Any parents with a colicky baby?

Jensen, have you asked your pediatrician if he's maybe suffering from acid reflux? One of my little ones had that really bad. It wasn't diagnosed until she was about 4 months old. The symptoms where colic like with a LOT of spitting up and when she was laid down, the acid would apparently rise into her throat and cause more crying. For the longest time I just let her sleep upright in her swing until I told the doctor and she suggested acid reflux. Once she got on medicine for that, she was much better. Just a thought.

could be, but I'm not seeing any difference when I hold him up versus straight and he doesn't really spit up much :/ I'll ask when he visits the doc (called to get an appointment today... he was supposed to have seen a doc at 2-4 weeks but as always there is christmas breaks etc etc.. %/"#)%/)

Mylicon was my best friend at that time. Worked great.

I've heard you can strap the little one in their car seat and put them on top of the dryer on air dry. Of course then you get to hang out in the laundry room for a while. DO NOT leave junior unattended.

Gripe water was good if it was a mild case and only give like 1/4 of a teaspoon.. just enough to get out the gas.. but when my grandson had it the only thing that really worked.. was the hoover.. ok.. we used a dust buster too.. who knows why it works..
