Annabelle decided to develop colic when she was around 4 weeks. She typically SCREAMS from about 5-9 pm every single day. She also screams every time she is in the car. We tried medications for reflux from the doctor, who also prescribed her Reglan (to speed up digestion). I decided not to even fill that prescription, mostly due to the possible neurological side effects! Now, I continue to see commercials asking, "Has your baby taken Reglan? Does your baby now have tardive dyskonisia? Call our law firm for a class action suit!" Thank God I didn't give her that mess!
Life is stressful with her being so fussy all the time. It's hard to even enjoy having her. Everyone says just get through it and she'll outgrow it. I don't want to just get through it though, I want to remember every minute because it goes by fast, I can't ever get this time back, and she's my last baby.
Despite her fussiness, Annabelle started smiling around 7 weeks. She LOVES to be on her changing table. She smiles every time she's on it. Who knew a baby enjoyed getting a new diaper so much! I just love my little angel! She even laughed twice, once when I tickled her stomach and once when we put diaper rash cream on her. She absolutely loves her bath now too!
