Dh had mercy for me today and shelled out the 130 something for the cradle and swing from fisher price!!! I'm so ecstatic! Dom's sitting there happy and content!

 

Yay for happy and content babies lol

Quoting Juggernog-aholic:" Yay for happy and content babies lol"

Holy crap...He's got colic and it's driving me flippin mad....He's usually only happy if you're holding him 99.9% of the time....even if you rock him to sleep...he wakes up the second you try to put him in his crib/co sleeper/newborn rocker/bouncer LOL
The moby wrap and bjorn has been getting me by.....but at some point your back hurts SO bad....LMAO!
It doesn't help that gripe water only seems to dull it down a bit.

My daughter was the exact same. I had to stand and rock her all night every night or she'd just scream.

Now she's over it and I am in HEAVEN! Watching her play on her own will literally bring me to tears of happiness because of how far she's come, lol.

It ends, and when it does, it is the most amazing thing ever.

HOW DID YOU DO IT!??!!! It's only been a month and some change and between the cloth diaper laundry, breastfeeding and this god awful complete lack of sleep I feel like I'm dying!!! lol His screaming doesn't make me angry...but I do become terribly upset and heartbroken trying to make him happy. lol.

How in the world are you alive??!!! lol

Can you nap when he does? Or if your partner can look after him while you have a nap?
I used infants friends drops, worked wonders!! Still have some rough nights here and there.. It's very heart breaking to hear them scream and cry!
I was so against co sleeping but I was always up with him every hour so I just let him sleep in our bed & his also settled down now!!  

Colic Calm works wonders. It's a homeopathic gripe water and it settles their colic. My daughter had colic for the first month or so and when I found Colic Calm it was imediately alleviated and after just a week of nightly doses it was gone all together. She never had it again.

We use gripe water....he seems to like the taste...but that's about it...ROFL Dominic wakes up an hour after feeding him to eat like clock work...Dh doesn't lactate so.... 

Regular Gripe water didn't work for Cheyenne either. The Colic Calm was the only thing that worked. It is expensive but well worth it for her to get a good nights sleep and not cry for two or three hours every night.
