why is my baby so fussy in the late afternoons?

Sorry I always forget

Probiotic drops like Reutri settle the digestive system. the only thing our paed recommended.

he basically said the meds that can be given basically just make the parents feel better. It does nothing for the baby.

Deidree this is considered true colic. It starts from about 4 in the afternoon and lasts till about 8 at night.

the true def of colic is crying for more than 3 hours at a time not cramps etc.

It is generally from overstimulation and they think kids with oolic are just a little more sensitive than other kids.

I called it suicide time. It was horrid.

good news it lasts about 3 months. Bad news it will be the hardest 3 months ever.

Firstly take your lo to a dr or preferably a paed. This will give you peace of mind that your lo is infact healthy. This made it far easeir for me to deal with the crying. I think a parents greates fear is that their child is in discomfort. when you know they are not you will relax and your baby will.

If there was a cure for colic we would not be discussing this,

What helped was:

Babysense book. it explained overstimulation and signs to look for.

Swaddling baby

baby massage

sining to baby (this actually worked the best - in a darker room and no other sound)

Try the bennets colic drops

Breastfeeding or dummy (I just attached dylan to keep him quite. Not ideal though)

lay baby on your forearm on his tummy ie facing the floor they love it

I carried dylan around in a carrier which he also liked

I really feel for you. xxxxx

Hi girls - I have pretty relaxed and easy days and evenings with Connor, but come late afternoon, between about 4 and 7 he gets very irritable and fussy and is just generally niggly! I don't understand why - I try not to overstimulate him - could I be understimulating him?

Is there anything I can try with him to make him less niggly?
