Right before we headed to Dallas we started seeing some signs of colic. He had several episodes while we were there and they have continued since we've been home. He is still pretty sweet during the day but starting around 5:30 he begins his "sessions". It kills me to hear him shriek and see his little limbs tense up and belly get so hard. Terry is amazing with him during this time. He takes him upstairs and turns on a loud fan for white noise and rocks and sushes him until he finally calms down. Sometimes we are lucky and it doesn't last too long and sometimes he starts at about 5:30 and doesn't completely end until after 9:00.
We did go back to the doctor to make sure it is colic and nothing else is going on. We still need some formula and we are now on our third round of new formula. It has seemed to help regulate him and a rash on his face and head also seems to be going away. While he has colic and is still pretty gassy sometimes it doesn't seem to hinder his ability to eat. This little boy is hungry! He weighed about 11lbs at his doctor visit.
He never sleeps on his back but he wore himself out. It didn't last long...
