Amendment to Colic Entry



Well, as it turns out, after talking to our pediatrician, he doesn't think that Tyler has colic. He said infants do get fussy in the evenings from tiredness or over-stimulation during the day. And a few people commented that I obviously have not seen a colicky baby if i think Tyler has colic.

As we get to know our little fussy-pot a little better each day, we tried a few new things to try to soothe him when he gets fussy. One of them was one of the things we tried to avoid - The Pacifier. The alternative was to sit with him and let him suck my finger for hours. The only encouragement we get is he doesn't seem to like it very much. Makes the most miserable face when we try to give it to him. But my will must be stronger than his, so eventually he usually takes it, sucks on it for a while and spits it out once he calms down.

So, there you go, my baby does NOT have colic. Thanks to those who expressed concerns.
