so.........last week baby c went through non-stop crying sessions in the mornings. it was pure torture - for me!!!! nothing i did could soothe him. i thought he was in pain and after three continuous mornings with him crying non-stop, off to the doctor's we went. the diagnosis? colic.
contrary to popular belief, colic is NOT gas/wind. while having gas/wind can be a cause of colic, colic is defined as indeterminate crying. to diagnose colic, baby has to cry for 3 hours straight, 3 days in a row, usually at nights and starting from 3 weeks. well, baby c fit the first two criteria. and hence, we were given dentinox. this apparently calms babies down. we were supposed to notice a change in him after two days. well, i can't say for sure if it's the dentinox because i kept on forgetting to give it to baby but his crying bouts did stop. what a sigh of relief!
to be stuck at home - alone - without help or breaks with a howling baby is no joke. it can literally drive you mad. but all praises to god because he has not have any crying sessions anymore! and no he did not have wind in his tummy...............


two ways of pure torture (in case anyone ever needs tips): sleep deprivation AND a non-stop crying baby hour after hour!
