How does it make you feel that one visit to a RMT or paediatric chiro would’ve fixed it instantly and avoided the PTSD? It’s hard when you’re in the middle of it. My son was extremely colicky for months and no one used to look toward a cure because we were just told “some babies just are colicky”.. looking back I think he was probably sensitive to the dairy I was consuming. Once weaned get was sensitive to casein for about six years. Live & learn 🤷🏻‍♀️

@@Puglover130 How does it make you feel making such a nasty comment? Like it was her fault for not going to a paediatric chiro, and when you actually have no idea it would have worked?

@@rachelcherrie1647 right!? WTH!? I was caught off guard when I read that. Super strange. Anyway, I came to say that I was also traumatized by it. So much so that I didn't even want to have any more babies. Luckily my second baby was so, so happy and content. ❤️ I never did find out why my daughter was in such agony for four months.

@@rachelcherrie1647 I don't think she meant it that way. I think she was genuinely asking.

@@Melissa-is-a-Raincloud yeah idk, she should have read it again before she hit send 🤦

Thanks for this comment, this made my day!:)

Same! He would stretch out in pain. We took him to the ER 3 times. I was nursing and changed my diet drastically. They gave us a prescription for something to give him. It was green and smelled like alcohol. It knocked him right out. This was 26 years ago and I can’t remember what it was. We were so stressed out. He was our first baby and we didn’t know what to do to help him. It eventually went away. It’s just so hard to see them in pain. Only the medication and his swing would work. It lasted about 3-4 months. Thankfully our other children didn’t have this problem.

My baby did cry the first 4 months as well. I also had a shit pregnancy and had post partum depression and post partum preeclampsia which almost killed me after birth. Yeah I am done with producing children. She is 1 now

Hahaha facts!

Why would you disturb your neighbors like that anyway?!

The doctor said massage therapist

Same. He cried for 2 1/2 Months 19 hours a day. Slept from 12-5am.ugh. Then the easiest boy ever all,the way to adulthood!

Mine too… she finally stopped the colic at three months…it was hell for both her and us. She became a happy baby when she could sit up on her own. It’s like she wanted to be in control, and finally could do something for herself. She became a happy baby.

Mine too!!

Not my son, he didn't stop till almost 9 months old

@@jesusislife9259 Oh my, I am so sorry you had to go through that. Couldn't imagine. Blessings to you.

Ø

In Jesus name amen!!!

I was told that my older sister was a colicky baby. Also, she wasn’t smiling in her official baby picture.

Amen in Jesus name ! 🙏🏼🙌🏻

So true 👍

Hello 👋 dear, how are you doing?

I wish I knew this 13 years ago when my daughter was born. I had an emergency C-section after pushing for 3 hours. My daughter slept very little and cried so much. I swore I would never have another child because it was so hard.

Same thing with my niece!

Yes I took my babies in the first few days of being home to get adjusted and both slept hours more that night!

Chiro helps me so much,love it

I cried and I never even had fuzzy babies, even tough I had twins 😭😭😭

It is a living nightmare. My daughter, who is now 31, had extreme Colic. I received so much criticism. The experience was devastating. I promise if my daughter has a baby with colic I will be there for her.

@@LoriJMarshall honestly, just hearing another mom understand what its like - is such a huge thing for me. And then hearing that same mama already knows if their own child experiences the same - that they will assist them? Wow. I am honestly blown away, and just amazed at humanity right now. I appreciate you as a human.

I still have PTSD because of this, and my daughter is 3,5 already. After her first year I needed pshychiatric treatment, as she would sleep only 5-20mins, constantly crying, nothing worked, absolutelly nothing, my brain and body was giving up… I wish I had help. Any help. She developed into a constantly fussy/tantruming toddler so for us it never really stopped just changed. We did not have a second baby and I think we never will and I feel so guilty about that but I dont think I could handle it again…

@@rekaberegi2511 oh I hear you. That’s pretty much where we’re at/ what it’s been like for us. You said it perfectly, and this is how you feel/what your experience has been - it’s okay to be honest with yourself about the realities of what you have faced and to have come to the decision of not having a second one. Honestly, we had some hard conversations about it - and came to the same conclusion. My body had other plans, and we found out I was pregnant and quite far along. Needless to say I have been through all of the emotions/thoughts and even though this was the farthest thing from planned - I am excited but cannot get over the seemingly insurmountable anxiety that he will also have colic. I don’t know if I can survive another bout, and a hypersensitive toddler. Not to mention my partner and I both recently changed jobs, so neither of us have an allotted parental leave. So the likelihood of me doing it all, and alone - is absolutely terrifying. Safe to say, from me at least, listen to what your mind and body are saying. It’s okay to not be ready for more. And i see you and hear you. You aren’t alone. And I applaud you for having gotten through everything you have thus far. You are an incredible human.

@@Medaya14 I day. Just 1 day at a time. Be kind to yourself.

Good job, Mom! 👍💐

Same with my son. He is now 52

I hear ya. Sleep deprivation was used as a form of torture for a good reason.😱

Just want to say, my daughter is 14 months and still doesn’t sleep through and is nowhere near to it 😀

Sounds like my first. Even not sleeping all night until 9 months. He'll be 45 in Dec.

Same here😄

Nope never been maternal whatsoever. My animals will do me!

Well this baby was in excruciating pain. I've massaged adults who have the most aggravating kink in their neck, can't turn their head, & desperately needed a massage because it was ruining their day. To me watching this video was tough because this baby can't support his neck & I imagine the bouncing plus putting him on a pillow that pushed more on the crown of his head instead of just supporting the base of the skull was agonizing. At 3:00 is where she had it right. But then the movements got jolty, if I did that to an adult with mild Torticollis they would undoubtedly yelp or gasp in pain. But this baby can't talk so all the talking & infantilizing they are doing is annoying & then talking about the tummy in the end was a confusing random moment there.

Me too! I can't stand the screaming...for nothing sometimes!

Me too, and she is only five month old. But she will be our first and last child 😅

Same here

Nugget??

Been there .....feel u mate

My baby would begin crying at 11pm and go on till 4 am for 2-3 months..my mother was a godsend she and I would alternate in holding him and rocking him till he tired himself out..it was such a traumatic time...but it got easier around 5 months old....he s now 8 months old..💕🌸

Many, many children are fatigued and hungry at 4:00pm. If you're in a Mall, you can hear them all go off around that time: it means parents need to plan around your baby's needs --- and getting enough sleep, fluids, and food are the Big Three.

@@inaayatsingh8794, Thank God for your understanding and strong, motherly heart ❤️ clearly your mother shares your understanding that babies sometimes have difficulty transitioning from living in the bliss of pre-birth, to the sounds and new sensations of life outside the womb. Congratulations and much love to you from California. ❤️ Your baby will grow into a tender, strong, and wise parent! Namaste! 🙏💕

Same. Made making dinners so stressful.

Kinda. She kept talking like "What what do you want to say to the cameras?" Like lady just cradle the base of the skull & massage the baby. Also the pillow she put him on made him scream again because it was pushing on the crown of the head. Then randomly at the end they talked about collic like...what in the world does this have to do with collic. I have had a mild form of adult Torticollis from sleeping wrong & have worked on clients with the same neck pain. A pain that ruins days & if stretched wrong can be excruciating. So to me they seemed more interested in their video & more infantilizing to even the parents. Poor baby indeed. I treat clients slowly with care. Support the base of the skull & do not push on the crown because ouch.

Wondering if being born face up gives baby a kink in the neck. My son screamed at teatime for 12wks

​@@fairynuff167my last two were born sunny side up, no problems. I've raised 7 babies. Most of the time they're just hungry and parents think because they've just been fed that it can't possibly be that but some babies just want to eat small amounts all the time or suck for comfort. This baby wanted fed this entire video, it was very obvious. I get that he just reached a feeding time during the video but a lot of the time, they want fed.

For sure! Imagine having a kink in your neck and not having the strength to lift your head and stretch it on your own. Babies need so much love and care. ❤

@@Mandaxx25 So you don’t think he was fed between segments?

Please follow indian ayurvedic diet while breastfeeding and promote it , raising ur infant will be 100 times easier...i cant stressed it enough...you will find diet charts online and your infant might never get colic.

My baby was tremendously fussy and LaLeche League person suggested he could have issues with dairy. I stopped having dairy and he stopped the constant fussing and so many other things.

My friend’s daughter was the same- terrible colic if she ate any dairy. My daughter had to go to soy formula. It was like the difference between night and day.

My older boy would scream and cry so much. Turns out he was dairy allergic. So much so that he was troubled by any dairy that I ate and passed through my milk. We both went dairy free and that fixed the tummy trouble and severe excess he had been experiencing. After a while I realised that I didn't get migraine headaches anymore so I guess I can't handle c I was milk protein either.

Further proof that none of us are cows, therefore should not be drinking cows milk or eating any bi-products of cows milk. I seriously hope none of the parents that have experienced this thru breast milk make those children drink milk as they age.

Doesn't surprise me the right chiropractor can be amazing

New parents need that ❤

It takes a village........lovely to hear the solution, and that you were open to it!!

What type of exercise??

@@sabahere8002 turning his head the opposite of how he held it. Put toys to that opposite side for him to turn to grasp & lots of neck massage

@@stormiweathered and lots of tummy time. My grandson was born with torticollis too. He didn't like being out down, always wanted to be carried around, but he wasn't really a very colicky baby. He had a lot of wind and would fling his legs around but he wasn't an all day screamer like my first child, or an all evening crier like my second. He absolutely hated tummy time, but it did the trick. it was resolved by the time he was three or four months old.

@@warpedweft9004 yes!! I think that having them in their backs so much these days makes it worse!!

I’m dealing with this right now, my baby is almost 10 months and I feel like he’s never going to settle down. Thanks for sharing! It helps knowing that I’m not the only one

Can so relate! Your experience is so similar to mine! My daughters five and I can't ever forget how hard it was and really don't want another child and the constant when are you giving her a sibling upsets the hell out of me.....

I had a friend (an RN no less) who claimed all 3 of her children had colic. I was horrified and a bit incredulous. It is pretty rare to have 3 in a row with colic- what a nightmare Then she said it, "Yes all three cried all the time...unless I was holding them." I told her, "That is called normal. Babies cry so you will pick them up and hold them." My first was a perfect baby and never cried but she also demanded that I hold her 24/7 which I pretty much did. For a couple of months, she generously accepted substitutions (Daddy, Grandmother etc) but then at about 3 months or maybe 4 it had to be me and only me, and no one else. She wouldn't even sleep away from me so I slept with one eye open. She wouldn't let me "wear her" either. I had to hold her in my arms. Still she wasn't a colicky baby. She quieted the second I picked her up.

@pippadawg7037 unfortunately not everyone has that experience. Hold her or not my daughter cried for hours. I would be holding her, comforting her and walking around the room for hours losing my mind lol.

​@@King_Anime528 Why would your best friend say, "Oh you are just probably not used to being a mom" when you already had another child? Plus didn't your best friend hear your baby crying and see that he wouldn't settle or quiet? When you say he didn't sleep, do you mean he wouldn't let you sleep or he fussed for long stretches at a time at night? All babies sleep. I had two "easy" babies but neither let me sleep. I remember thinking if I could just get 2 hours in a row I would be happy. I called a lactation consultant and I told her I would nurse, change her, and 45 minutes later she would wake up hungry again wanting to nurse and the cycle would repeat. She said the most devastating thing possible, "That is normal." Eventually she slept for 2 hours but never longer than 3 until she slept through the night at 18 months.

God Bless you, and God bless this child

Bless you....

Oh wow! Thank you for doing that!

Wow my heart goes out to you all it must affect everyone in your family my eldest daughter caused us similar problem it is so so hard my grandson is 20 now and a fantastic young man keep strong and look after yourself as well as you are looking after your grandchild much love and blessing from Manchester England ❤

After listening to all of these remarks, I realize just how lucky I have been with my two sons. They were easy all the way to when they left home and that was the hardest part for me.

Social media is absolutely amazing, it’s all about what you show your children is available on it, and monitor

That's heartbreaking

Agree totally! First born c-section, so fussy all day then 1 to 2 hrs constant crying starting at 6 p.m. Switched formulas, had a couple adjustments but "grew out if it" more or less. He's 28 now!

@@melmel007 😁

Osteopathic treatments are also a godsend.

I took my son to a chiropractor for his torticollis. It helped, but we later found out he needed eye alignment surgery. His head tilt was actually caused by his eyes not being aligned correctly. He tiltedhis head to compensate for his poor vision! Never quit advocating for your children. Even good drs can make mistakes. If your gut tells you differently, go with it!

@@amberjoy533 I always tell my friends that, go with your gut, nothing is better than a mama or Dad's intuition.

No. Baby arent even developed. Psuedoscience aint science.

They do not have to either have the Child for that day or pay child support for that day. They aren’t held responsible- one way or another - in America. They just go out and make more babies

@@katefish3754what?😂

​@@Neza1234pay her no mind LMAO, she must be on drugs

Maybe he didn’t want to be filmed?

Shutup😒 ​@@katefish3754

How did you have 3 kids especially with those issues! God bless you!

Absolutely! Dealing with a screaming infant is stressful, constant, and makes you doubt your capabilities. Ask for help. All moms know how tough it can be alone. An hour break for a hot bath or a forest walk can work wonders. If you feel like you are losing control, put the baby in the crib and shut the door for a few minutes. Call someone who cares about you and get the cheerleading you need. Then go back to caring for your baby.

@@laurachapin204 I needed this when my daughter was teething . I still remember the terrible ness of constant screaming and nothing working

❤thank you..info was great...love your take on masks🙏👍

​@@ah5721Ugh! I hate that our bodies are designed this way. We all need to cut teeth, so it's not fair that it hurts.

That's the problem of modern parenting. It's very isolated, especially when it comes to young babies. Before the "nuclear family" became the norm, it was more of a community effort. Moms weren't alone so much. I've known lots of moms with these stories of fussy babies who were largely impossible to soothe, so they'd cry with the baby.

My 2nd child for me. I had to set her down and take many 5 minutes breaks where I cried too. But after about 3 months, she became a brand new baby. I WISH we had KZfaq when I was a new mom.

It's so hard to realise that gad we just had experienced medical help we would not have got traumatised by the whole experience. Also the fact that husbands , in laws all believe as a woman you should know answers when you are literally going through the grinder. Very lonely experience that something inside you just doesn't want to repeat.

Such small babies is never lactose intolerant. They could have a milk protein allergy but never lactose intolerance at such a young age

​@@vl7175my parents said I couldn't tolerate the popular formulas, so I needed expensive goats milk formula. No problems once I switched to milk and solid foods later. It's interesting how our bodies react to different things.

I feel very bad for what you went through and I completely understand why you were one and done! The toll it takes is tremendous!

No damn way!!! How offensive to the parents! Babies can be uncomfortable but they don’t have real world problems lol 🤣

​@@Ging3rs I would say not being able to talk and being in constant pain is a real world problem for a baby. Poor thing.

@@Ging3rs I agree with you! I know the baby is stressed, but more stressed than me? I think not!

@@JaneSmith0709That’s rather self-centered. The child was in constant pain. The parents were stressed but SO WAS BABY. The hell? Is this the pain Olympics??

@@germyw I'm not saying the baby wasn't suffering, I'm just saying so was the parent(s).

My mother said similar to me. Still makes me emotional...

Was it lactose intolerance too?

@@Xtina4444 my first daughter was the same. She can't tolerate milk, which usually makes her vomit and affects her bowels if she has anything with milk in it, but it's not lactose intolerance as she can't eat hard cheese or lactose free products either. Unfortunately we didn't make the connection for a couple of years as the reaction wasn't that bad to begin with. It got worse as she got older.

Pasteurized milk was the trigger for mine. Raw made all the difference.

@@mechaunejacobs2642 unpasteurised milk is not legal to be sold in a lot of countries because of the risk of other diseases you can get from it. Australia is one of those countries. You shouldn't be giving cows milk to babies under 12 months anyway, pasteurised or not.

😂

Wow

Same! My first could not be soothed and did not sleep. I kept being told to "hang in there". We went to the pediatrician many times and a GI dr. No one helped. It was traumatizing. ( He is now 5.5 and the sweetest, happiest boy ❤️).

@@kerbell1 mine is actually almost exact 5.5 too. Maybe it was something in the water. Haha

Yes, this. My daughter cried so much as a baby I would actually get her crying stuck in my head, like you would with a song. It was extremely hard. She has gotten much easier now at 3, but she's still a tough cookie. I'm so thankful that these parents are getting this sorted out, because you just can't live like that day after day.

Same... Bless you all for getting through it!!

Same here ugh

What beautiful wisdom! Glad your daughter and grandbaby found relief

Yes, Sage advice, Thank You!

Thank you. My son was so fussy and soooo many people say "it gets better". My son had reflux. It needed a diagnosis . It wasn't going to "get better"

@@TheArtofThings I hope he did much better after his diagnosis!

Your daughter is soo blessed to have you by her side. So many mothers have no support. You're such an awesome mom and grandma. Glad to hear your new grandbaby is feeling better

I don’t know how you single mothers do it honestly. You guys are incredible

Also, try baby wearing when naps are just not happening. It really helps when baby is getting some rest between the long, endless hours of crying.

I'm so glad that nursing helped you stayed bonded :)

Mine was the same and he never slept longer than 20 minute bursts either and would even be crying in his sleep. Once he was awake for a solid 48 hours at only a few weeks old. He's 6 years old now and very highly intelligent with sensory and social issues. The toddler and preschool years were so rough with the meltdowns. Hang in there, it gets so much better.

Mine also was like that and she also has this sensory issue. What do you do to improve that? I would love to hear some advice!

Mine has SPD and autism. He had to sleep in his swing with the vibration on. Otherwise he would scream. We took turns sleeping on an air mattress in the living room where the swing was set up so we could keep an eye on him in the swing. He would sleep maybe 2-3 hours at a time. Then after eating he had HORRIBLE reflux to the point he looked like he was having a seizure. Now we just have sensory overload issues and a few autism related issues but I’m so glad we finally got through those months. If we hadn’t already had his older sister, we wouldn’t have had another one

Thanks for watching!!! I sure love what I do!

This is a common experience for people with hypermobility syndromes. All I can say is: PHYSIO PHYSIO PHYSIO. Avoid the hype and horror of stories on social media- few people ever posts about good or manageable outcomes. It’s critical she stays conditioned. Do not let her decondition herself. If you can afford it, get an open water rowing machine, or loan one. The lungs and leg muscles of open water rowers are best for combating the impacts of POTS, OH and similar dysautonomic conditions. Keep up her social inclusion, face to face. It’s critical for teenagers especially. Get her working with a clinical psych experienced in chronic conditions in teenagers, to help her process and then embrace her differences. Focus on goal setting and routine. Both hard/challenging goals, and fun exciting goals! She’s a teenager and life should be fun. Avoid opiates, benzos, and if you can, gabapentin with everything you have. My love to you both

@@ScoobyDoozy thank you! My girl is actually a dancer, and has been since she was 2.5. I actually put her in dance because I noticed as a toddler that her foot began to rotate in (like mine did at that age). The ortho said her "leg was shorter than the other"...which I knew was crap. I knew her hip was out of alignment. I had her start dance and took her to the chiro, who gently kept moving the hip into place. Thankfully for her, she inherited her father's naturally athletic body, and she has amazing muscle tone.. There were no further issues with her joints until she got lyme at 13...and it was a crap-show after that. At the same time, one of my sons was involved in a sledding accident that caused all sorts of issues, including what may have been an autoimmune that effected his brain. Then we were mold exposed... Anyways, the loose joints became more obvious, I believe because the mass inflammation. All 4 of my kids have this, as do I. We also have mast cell. I've been working on diagnoses for the last 4 years, but no one is really receptive unless we present with a vascular issue. I definitely agree with you to avoid script meds like that... we do cranial sacral therapy, topical stuff like bio freeze and heat, and maybe ibuprofen, but even that tends to upset the stomach. I'm also a strong believer in supplements and herbs, so we do a lot of management of inflammation with those things. Thank you so much for responding and caring! Much love to you as well :)

Look up elhers Danlos syndromes.

@@andienantz, oh yes... I've been trying for about the last 2 years to get a diagnosis for her, and my other 3 kids. I have one dr who is convinced the 4 kids and I have it, but no one in my area wants to do anything unless you've had a vascular episode. Makes me mad because I'm in Massachusetts and I *thought* Boston had some of the best hospitals...

​@Francine Mitchell Ehlers Danlos maybe?

Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome? Google it.

@@marlenegold280 No, luckily I don't suffer from that. It is called developmental dysplasia (dislocation) of the hip (DDH), and is not so rare. It is also heritable, so anyone who had such cases in their families should best have an ultrasound of the hip performed on their baby after birth and during the first year of life (because it can also still dislocate during that period). My doctors noticed it as my legs didn't flip outwards like baby legs usually do, but it isn't always so visible, depending on the degree of the dislocation.

Hi Sonya How are you today?🌹🌹

Thank you!

Hello Danielle how are you doing today how’s everything going?
