    Oh no! Not good! I am so sorry he's showing all those symptoms. Neither of my girls had those. I've heard "gripe water" works well on colicy babies. I've also heard that massaging baby while upset helps them too. Definitley swaddling tight works well. Is it your breastmilk..sometimes you can eat stuff that upsets the baby's tummy. Just trying to help. If you need to talk, hollar at me! Love you!

    I didn't have a real problem with colic, but I think all kids have what they call the "witching hour" =) Jacks still gets upset around 4:45 or 5. If you think he has gas, give him mylicon with his feedings, it only works on upper GI gas, so make sure you give it with the feedings. I hope it gets better for you!

    Melanie Cahill told me about a great book that helped me with my third called "Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Baby" or something like that. It had some great info on colic. I bet she'd copy you the chapter!

    Mine all had a little colic when they were babies, but nothing seemed to work well. But, I got through it with God's grace--in the form of a nice hot bubble bath and a glass of Sutter Home Moscato wine every night while Aaron dealt with the babies! Call me anytime if you need anything, Suzanne!! I'll pray for you tonight.
