Need advice for colicky/cranky baby

[mabdoo]

When the girls got up from their naps yesterday we immediately went to Barnes and Noble and got the book the Happiest Baby On the Block. I read as much as I could yesterday and followed the 5 S's and we had a great night last night. Everyone is much happier and it has only been one day. I can't cure her colic but I can make it more managable. Part of it is the mindset that I can't make it go away I just have to deal with it. I realize that every night I will have to walk with her and hold her until she calms down. Once she is calm I still have to hold her to keep her calm but when I think about it, my husband and I would give anything for our older daughter to sit with us for more than a minute so I better enjoy holding her while it lasts.

Thanks for the suggestions and sympathy.

So glad that some of the advice from our "friends" helped you. Never had the book to read when mine were young, but will have to post mark it for future grandkids.

Happy to hear things are feeling better for all of you after just one day. The realization that you are not the only one and that trying different things is the only way to try to get past it is the first step.

As before, hope it passes sooner than later - good job in being patient Mom !
