My daughter will be six weeks old tomorrow. She already has reflux and is on .4 ml zantac twice a day and drinks Similac Alimentum formula (special formula for gassy/colic babies). We will see a GI specialist on Feb 12th as well. Now I am starting to think she has colic too. She has begun getting fussier and fussier. It begins in the afternoon, peaks in the evening and usually goes away between 10 pm( if I am lucky) and 1 am ( at the worst). Its alot of screaming, turning red, crying, straightening her legs out, and so forth. Every night I am bouncing, carrying her in the baby bjorn, walking the hallway, bouncing on the fitness ball, her swing, rocking her to help her. I also sometimes give her gripe water which is great, and I try mylicon but it does not seem to help much. I have tried just about every bottle too. She has no problem having BM diapers everyday. She takes the gumdrop pacifier. You would think they would have a cure for colic by now. Any other ideas on how to help?
