Name: Purvi Patel



I have a 2 month colicky baby who cries almost thru all his feedings, I breast feed and formula feed him. He will eat a little then start crying, Is this common among colicky babies.

my baby was just like yours. where do you live ? i am in US.
my baby used to cry in middle of night durng feedings.i tried burping,rocking giving him ride in car but nothing helped.give them a try and see if it helps your baby.
i gave him mylicon, he was fine. mylicon can be given at every feed. how many drops etc ask your doctr.recent study shows that only 50% babies suffer from colic.it was also mentioned in the same article that most babies were colic because of formula type and mother having improper diet.you should read american baby parenting articles. what tm mentioned 92% is the percentage of gas and colic.both are diff and common in babies for upto 6months. tm, i have read your post in the feeding board also. please don't confuse constipation, gas and colic.they are diff.
purvi, please call your doctr and ask him. if your baby cries too much it's not good for his health. i did the same thing and i was adviced to give mylicon and switch to soy formula.my baby was fine in 5-6days. i am not a mother who hs patience to see my baby crying for weeks together,.so thought of replying you.

hai!!
its very common.he will be fine after 3 more weeks.just try patting him on his back gently afer ufeed everytime.another position of making the baby's tummy lie on ur arm and ur lap supporting baby;s body and patting in tht postions works too..
give them a try..
almost 92% babies undergo this colicky phaseand tht too u r feeing him in combo..soits quite common.all u have to do is be patient.this too shall pass..
i had same experience with my son when he was 2 months.he was fine when he was 3 months.
regards
tm !!
