Boo-hoo-hoo... a colicky baby?

Babies cry... why, of course! If your baby doesnt cry, you will get panicky and wonder if everything's fine with her. But when your baby cries, you'll find yourself feeling super stress - especially when you do not know what's the reason... oh, human! :p

There are a variety of reasons a baby cries. She's either tired, hungry, lonely, feeling discomfort (too hot or too cold), in an uncomfortable position, weewee, or poopoo! But sometimes, a baby will cry for no reason! This type of crying can be the most stressful for a parent! Hmmm.... i get that lots! It's called "colic". Baby Sarah will cry for hours at a time, no matter what hubby and i do... and it happens mainly between 12mn till 3/4/5/6am! (My latest encounter was from 2am - 6.30am! Thank God it was a public holiday then!) I read that this extreme type of crying in a baby lasts till about 3 months of age. I sure hope that she's back to non-colicky by the 3rd month. Boy, we sure need some good rest after that!
