Colic tips: desperate
My niece is 3 weeks 2 days old and starting a few days ago she’s been incredibly fussy. We’re at the pediatric ER with her right now because today she started crying and wouldn’t stop for hours, it got to the point she was barely breathing she was screaming so hard. It’s hard to know for sure but everything (including timing) is pointing to colic. I’ve done a lot of reading and I know colic will eventually resolve on its own but for the sake of my sister, brother in law, and myself, who are all living together and taking care of her (I moved here to help them with the baby), please let me know your best tips for colic. Best bottles, best nipples, soothing techniques that worked for your baby, anything. I’ve been reading a ton and I have a few nurse friends but honestly I trust actual parents more than anything else. Please help! We will all lose our minds if it’s like this for the next 3 months, none of us can bear to watch her in pain/uncomfortable like that 😭
