My son was born in October 2013. Around Christmastime, he developed colic symptoms. A.K.A crying for no obvious reason at the same time of day, every day. Every evening at 5p.m. he would start screaming. He wouldn’t stop until 2a.m. This lasted for 2 months. We were lucky in my opinion because I know others who have had to deal with it for several months longer than that. During that phase, we were grumpy due to lack of sleep and extremely frustrated. Our doctor told us he would grow out of it, and that is literally the last thing I wanted to hear. I wanted a quick fix. I wanted to know what was causing his discomfort so I could stop it. We tried a lot of things but nothing seemed to work. He even fussed as I nursed him during that period of time. It was miserable.
The good news is that we made it out alive and he was a wonderful baby after that. This experience also made our second baby seem like a breeze. So, see? There are positives! I really wish I had Gerber soothing products during that phase of our lives. They would have been very helpful in aiding my son and giving him relief.
