Colic is babies (and parents) worst nightmare

POSTED: JUNE 10, 2009 12:31PM After the Heinel was cured with his “pilay” last Friday, we were so relieved because the erratic fever finally stopped. It was a “hallelujah” moment for Win and me. but hey, not for long. Midmorning of Saturday, Heinel woke up several times crying and screaming like crazy. Normally, a bottle will soothe him but not this time. He will even throw the bottle at your face, talk about temper ha! the only way to soothe him is to carry him and tour him around the house until he tells you to go back inside the room. But mind you, this happened several times! We hardly had any sleep! Then during the day, he was so cranky and moody and he has this sudden dislike for walking. My 24 pounder son wants to be carried by me all the time. these unusual behaviors of his continued until Monday and it is then that we decided to bring him to his pedia. Turns out, he has colic! His tummy is full of gas which is why he was so cranky. Dra., gave him a medicine for colic and advised us to give him a Lactose free milk for the meantime. And also, the very reliable “manzanilla” proved to be very helpful. Hayyy.. he slept so soundly!! Thanks heavens!!!!! I do hope that this is the end of our sleepless nights… but wait, Shen, Nan, and Win has colds! Oh my, I do hope that Heinel won’t catch it…. Better get all the sleep I can get now, looks like the following days are going to be “challenging” once again…
