Colic. It affects craptons of households. It rears it’s ugly head around the 3 week mark. It causes screaming for at least 3 hours a day … for 3 days a week … for at least 3 weeks … and disappears around the 3 month mark. It’s super fun.
At our house, Jonah’s jam sessions usually include 1 to 3 hours during the daytime {not consecutive} and about the same in the eve. There’s no method to the madness. No telling when or where it will strike. But when it does, well, you better be ready.
And, if you’ve never experienced the cries of a colicky babe, then I’ve got a treat for you.
I just like to share the love with ya {one minute of the love at least}.
We’re 3 weeks into Jonah’s sad screams and I’m hoping we’re at a peaking point. Otherwise, momma’s going to move onto something stronger than water and diet soda to grapple with his gripes.
And if you’re curious, the big fluffy blankie used in the clip is just one of the tools in our arsenal. As noted in my prior posting, we’re reaching deep into our bag of tricks for this little man. More suggestions welcomed.
So, if you don’t hear from me for awhile, it’s because I’m locked in a dark, quiet room … er, um … not really. But maybe:)…
