Hey everyone. I just had my son in October, he is 2 months old and has been colicy for a long time it seems. About how long dose it last and what can I do to make him more comfterble. Also I was wondering when he will start sleeping through the night. I go to school and work full time and im drained for energy and sleep. He still wakes up about 3-4 times a night and I put him to bed at about 9:30 everynight, but im going crazy from not having sleep. Smile

HELP.lol.

Thanks in advance!!

Hiya im not sure what to say, Courtney had colic too. We just bought the medicines and i went to a massage class and they tought us how to massage the belly and it would make the babys pass wind lol! I could try to explain how to do it if you want? And then there was Dr brown bottle which are surposed to stop colic which you buy off ebay if you cant find them any where but there expensive. Hope that helps!

We used the Dr. Brown bottles and never had a problem with colic. I praise those bottles. We had a problem at first with them leaking, but it you don't tighten the top all the way, they don't leak. After we learned that tip, we didn't have anymore problems with them. You can also try gripe water...other than that, I'm not sure.

hi both my sons had colic. we used anti colic bottles which worked a charm. medicines never worked. also, with william we used cow and gate comfort milk which is best for senstive tummies

when her colic settles she will sleep better. i think she is waking so often because she needs to feed regularly with the air bubbles in her tummy making her feel full
