It's a miracle
First of all, I've missed you ladies! What have I missed?! Anything exciting?
As you all know I've been having an awful time of it and things really came to a head and I had to get some help in. I couldn't take it anymore and at the peak of my little angel's colic she was crying from 7am to 11pm with some small catnaps when she wore herself out. I spent days without being able to have breakfast, eat lunch or anything. I also felt like a prisoner as I daren't leave the house even when she slept because she would soon wake up and start screaming. Anyway, my mum came out last week to help me out and she brought over some Infacol which someone recommended her and if I could kiss the person who invented it I would. It's like I've a different baby since a few days ago. She's happy, babbles away to herself, is interested in the world, barely cries, self-settles.... I've been in tears of happiness so many times over the past few days.
Anyway, I hope to be able to come on here again from now on! I've missed some daily dose of you ladies and sharing our things! And I can't wait to put this chapter behind us. I worried that she might have missed out on some development as she's only just at 7 weeks old starting to take an interest in things and smile and respond etc. But she's been so unhappy before she just hasn't been able to. I'm sure we'll catch up.
Big hugs

Yay for you and your little girl
xxxx
My mum brought 2 bottles over, and my stepdad was coming out here a few days after and brought 2 more when we started to see results! My dad comes over in a few weeks so he'll be bringing the rest haha
I'm giving it to her before every feed otherwise it's not as effective. In a few weeks maybe I'll start reducing a little bit.
It has been so so hard, but I've come through it and there's no holes in my walls, my plates are intact and more importantly, so is my sanity

Glad you had some help off your mom, sometimes its needed!
Xxx
I was just thinking yesterday that I hadn't seen you for a while and was wondering how you and your little lady was getting on xx
After reading your post we are going to ensure we give infacol with every feed. Archie is a screamer from 5pm ish and every time I think of babies with colic and how hard it must be for their Mummies!! So nice to hear you sounding much more happier and relaxed! Get some more photos on FB now!! x
