I think my baby has colic!

Someone please help me! I have a 3 month old son who was recently treated for an ear ache. I thought that was the cause of his crying. But, here recently he doesn't want me to put him down, he crys for hours at a time. I just cant seem to calm him down...

when he starts. He wont let me put him in the swing, bouncy seat, or anything. Sometimes he doesn't even want me to hold him. It is driving me nutts! I have taken him to the doctor and they told me that it was normal. I have 1 other child and never did she once act like this. It is not normal. I am about fed up with all the bull that they are feeding me. Sometimes I just get to where I want to walk out on him and leave for awhile. It gets that bad I am just about to break. I think it is sooo bad that I need to take myself and get help. If someone could please help me I would keep you in my prayer every night and day. Thank you!

My oldest son had colic. this lasted from when he was 1 week up till about 6 weeks. Every night from about 4 till 8, he would cry and cry and cry. I finally figured out that the more stressed out I got, the more stressed out he got. A lot of babies that get colic have it around the evening meal time because that's when their families stress level is high. The best thing for you to do would be to get someone you trust to watch him for a little while and you get away, take a walk with your daughter or go somewhere by yourself, even a half hour would help. If there is no one to watch him then lay him in his bed and go into a different room and calm down, DO NOT go back to him till you are calmed down. He will be fine. Just rememeber that this is not something that he's trying and it will get better. Good luck

Ok, for starters, you know you can't just leave him. He's crying because he's just as confused as you are. He doesn't understand whatever it is he's feeling.

See if there's anyone you can trust to watch him while you go out by yourself for an hour or so. That way you can clear your head.

If you were just at the doctor, and they said it was only his ear, that just maybe whats still bothering him...

Is he teething? It may sound silly, being that he's only 3 months, but that's when my daughter started teething and it caused ear aches, fevers, runny noses, sneezing...every could symptom you can think of! Try giving him a cool washcloth to chew on. Or rub his gums with it.

And I understand your daughter never acted the way he is, but she was a completely different baby, even though they are siblings, they will never act the exact same way as each other.

I hope some of what I said helped. Fun Mail me if you have any questions or just need to talk.
Have patience and good luck.
I'll pray that whatever is bothering him is relieved!

You will get through this, and so will he. Have you tried giving him some Mylecon for gas? (I'm sure you've tried everything ) I know it must be hard. Colethky gave some great advice, but in addition, if you need to vent, feel free to funmail me.
