First born had this until he was 8 months old, tried everything and I mean everything. Friend of the missus said to see a homeopathic doctor, I laughed when she told me, all that airy fairy sh*t, that's not going to work.
In the end we went a booked one up, might as well give it a go, not cheap £50 a sesh, 6 minimum booked in.
Doc said the colic all comes down to the Vagus nerve which is in the back of your neck, (google it) needs to reset via massage. He told us to expect him to be grouchy for a while after and to watch out for really really bad nappies, which in due course he had, after 4 sessions he was sleeping well, no grumpiness, no squirming about, a thousand times better. The doc even said 4 sessions were enough, even though he could of dragged it out for a long time.
In all honestly give it a go, what have you got to lose...

Mine too bell, proper horrifying to watch.
I couldn't go down on her for at least 3 hours after.''
Joking aside, going down on a woman in the early stages after giving birth can kill her. Fact.

Don't worry it will soon be a thing of the past and you'll be fretting over the fact that your little cherub is coming home late, getting drunk or worse, giving out random blow jobs to strangers.
You'll look back and think laugh at the colic days.

When I was a kid, my mum used gripe water, and so did we when we started a family. It actually had alcohol in it, probably didn't cure colic at all, just knocked the baby out!
I don't think it's available these days, although I've not checked for thirty odd years

Oh and originally they thought it was colic but it was acid reflux, doctors are pretty shit though with things like that. The amount of times doctors told us things were normal, when we knew they weren't was a joke

Re: Colic

Dr Browns bottles tended to make him take in less air which helped, also gaviscon (the baby stuff they provide you) but I only used half the dose as the full dose seemed to constipate him.
The good thing is it does all pass, one of my boys was a nightmare with it. He used to projectile vomit about 3 or 4 times a day, our washing machine was constantly on. Things do get better, I look back and wonder how we coped.
Good luck, and hope it passes sooner rather than later

I feel you mate. it was the same for my wife. it's steadily improved over the last 4 months though, fwiw.
My sister-in-law thought their baby had colic and turned out to be really bad acid reflux. I forget how they figured it but I know it was the grandmother and not the doctors. She basically had to eat white rice and boiled chicken while she was nursing in addition to putting the baby on medicine. good luck

Mate of mines littl'un had it for about six months.
They tried everything and ended up going to one of those Chinese herbal gaffs, took a couple of weeks but sorted it out.
Feel sorry for anyone that has to go through it must be terrible for the kid as well.

I got lucky, mine rarely got it. Dunno if them being breastfed was a factor. My younger one would not take a bottle.
