Colic?

Ah so confusing, some of it sounds as if its acid reflux with the way she cries and spitting up a while after eating , but she gets hiccups alot too, I hold her all the time she still cries , put her down still. We have a swing I brought it back out to try again, last time I put her in it she didnt like it to much then joseph wouldnt stay off the thing. Hopefully he doesnt notice it out. Jason got her to sleep the one night rubbing her tummy. I tried it last night , didnt work. I always burp her halfway through eating. I dont think its my diet thats bothering her since even when weve use formula the few times its still the same deal. Been there done that swaddling, what sucks is we dont have like colic things here, like gripe water well they might have it at a german drugstore maybe I dunno. But in florida igot it at a health food store haha I had to drive an hr to the place.
Someone told me before like 2 oz of water ina bottle and dissolve a peppermint in it and that helps soothe the tummy. Not sure if anyone has tried that or not.I think ive tried almost everything but the car ride at this point and the gripe water and stuff like that since meds are limited here even vitamin and herb supplements they dont have to much to offer on base either. I might try and keep her awake the rest of the afternoon or something and hope she sleeps tonight, shes been quiet all day sleeping and waking up to eat and diaper change. She gets a lil quiet in the bouncy chair wich has alil vibrating thing on there. But she ends up leaning sideways and looks uncomfy in it lol. After she eats again im gonna put her in the swing and see how that goes. Hopefully something helps. Just sooo tired.

Wow, .Kia basically covered it all.

You also need to get a nap time routine in place, and put her down for a nap at the same time everyday before she gets tired. If she misses a nap or her nap is interrupted etc. She will definately be cranky.

Thats why im a lil confused cuz sometimes she spits up like right after eating but then even like an hr or so after eating she does sometimes. I havent really heard much into acid reflux in babies till recently a few people I know there kids have had that problem. Is there like a website with the symptoms of acid reflux in infants on it?
Sometimes she turns red crying if u just lay her down. Like all day today shes been on the couch propped up with the boppy pillow when shes been sleepign wich I tried in the bed last night but didnt happen. Shes been sleepin fine all day like that and somewhat fine in the bouncy chair until I moved her . And she falls asleep fine on me throughout the day.

No but then again I dont really have much dairy in my diet to begin with , I am trying to eat more dairy stuff. The formula ihave when ive supplemented is the similac with dha and ara but we hardly supplement unless she seems like she is starving and thats only been a handful of times. Cuz I sit here thinkin maybe its the formula but she is the same way when I just breastfeed and she has had no formula that day. But of course it cant hurt to try right? I tried lookin up stuff on acid reflux as well . Somethings are odd like how can u tell if they have heartburn lol. Sometimes it seems like she jsut wants to eat but then she sucks for like 5 min and starts bobbing her head like crazy and starts crying. And this can go on for alil while. But they say poor weight gain but she is gaining weight fine, just the spitting up way after eating is odd. But he rnose has been congested but its only at night and not during the day.
And she was at the drs waht 3 days ago he said shes healthy as can be so I dont know lol

I dont think anyone wants to go through months of a screaming baby not knowing whats wrong or nothing is helping etc. I did it withjoseph and it wasnt fun and I felt bad because we tried like everything under the sun to help him out. I was running out of ideas at the time. Its even harder when by the time she does get to sleep now a few hrs later josephs awake .

And everyone knows all babies cry but colic is likea thousand times worse. Joseph used to scream from 11pm to 5am for 2-3 mths straight lukily I hadnt started back at work yet

For the next few days keep a diary of your baby's routine....Or lack thereof ...Then make a dr's appointment and discuss all this with him and see what he tells you to do....Babies are trial and error....Just dont' keep playing a guessing game when you have a doctor at your finger tips.

My son has acid reflux, I was told he was "colicky" until I did my research-you can pm me.
