He will be awake for 6 hours at a time starting at about 7 pm but getting worse at 9 and unbearable at 11. At first he is just fussy and then it escalates. The Drs have said it's just colic and it will go away in time. We are now a very unhappy family. I can't find anything on-line about babies this young and crying and sleeping - or letting them cry to sleep. Or what to do if choices seem to be disappearing.
He is formula fed - we've tried the soy and the lactose free. He seems to do best on the soy. Over the last 2 weeks - we have tried rocking, the bouncy chair, a drive in the car, a pacifier, holding him while he sleeps sitting up or lying down or however he seems the most comfortable, the swing, the crib, the bed, etc... all have not worked for more that 15 to 20 minutes.
We know that our baby is sweet and wonderful and this is just a phase but we don't want to hurt him in any way developmentally and we are all getting worn out!
HELP!
