dos anyones LO cry alot? we think our lil man has colic but even when he not windy he winges and cries anyway. how do you entertain a 5 wk old? i talk and sing and even dance with him,so he is never ignored what can i do? i cant have showe till he asleep or even do things near him like eat or wash up,is this normal? or am i just expecting to much to soon?

Maybe try something for colic to see if it helps atall hun but unless hes absolutely screaming it may just be his way of communicating. Bethany is a quiet baby so i cant really help just would say its all trial and error so maybe try something like gripe water or colief and see if it works and if it makes no difference then you can assume it isnt colic.

Good luck xx

mrskc my lo is the same...i couldn't do anything without having her in my arms...but then when i mentioned this to hv she told me that i HAVE to have a little me time when she is awake, all be it a cup of coffee or a trip to the loo, so i leave her on her mat for 5 mins now & she's fine with that!! my lo is a very cranky baby & i use infacol...it did work but i'm sure it's not anymore!! so i'm off to dr's on Tues for 6 week check so going to see if there is anything he can recommend!!! it's like i can't do anything right for her some days grrrr

im using dentanox at mo and that helps a bit and dr browns bottles,last night he wouldnt sleep and grissly today too and refusing bottle,OH just taken him for walk in pram as im not well today and if he refuses next feed im taking him to hosp as never heard colic baby refusing feeds

My little one was like that until Grandma held him facing out but sort of lying in your arms then clasp hands across his shoulders and tummy (think its called Tiger pose or something). Not sure why works maybe as he is nosey? or bored maybe as Baby Mozart will calm him down even if he is in FULL screaming mode!
