So I have read in a few places that colic is defined as crying that lasts 3 or more hours a day, 3 or more days a week. I shared that with Kasey, and his comment was "Well, it's definitely colic then." This will be the first time I've had to deal with colic much, and it's definitely trying. Mostly it's just sad, because Edward looks so miserable as he cries and fusses.
We're trying a couple of things to help with it, and having some success. The one with the most success is called Gripe Water, and it really seems to help settle his stomach and help him to sleep. And, unfortunately for Edward, sometimes we just have to let him cry a little bit. :(
Everything I read says most colic settles down around 3 months. I hope for the little guy's sake that it does.
