Well, its 1:52am and Tristan is STILL awake being cranky. He's been up since 10 or so, and if tonight is anything like the past few nights he will be awake untill 4. I think its colic. This is something we dealt with with my daugher too, but this time I can't sleep during the day. I can't sleep EVER. On top of being soo exhausted it makes me cry, I have an aweful cold that has me feeling barely functional, and my step kids are here for the weekend.

Any good tips for dealing with colic? I'm not sure how much longer I can handle this. I'm an emotional mess. I've cut out all formula, didn't help, kept him awake during the day, didn't help, I try too keep things mellow when he's awake at night so he's not encouraged to think its party time.

I really need help. Or a night off. Anyone wanna babysit for a night? Lol. (j/k)

I'm sorry you have to deal with that. I hope you can get some sleep soon. Sorry, I don't know anything about colic, but maybe if you call your pediatrician they will have some advice?

Have you tried putting him in the swing, or in a bouncy seat on the dryer? The dryer trick worked for my niece.

Belly sleeping seems to be helping a tiny bit. I suspect it is something I am eating, because we had one good night in the midst of the bad ones. I'm wondering what I did diffrently that day? Anyone know what foods might cause it?
