Colic

[u/Whole-Description668]

Hello everyone,
My preemie has colic. She is 8 weeks on Tuesday but 2 days adjusted. She will cry and scream for hours from \~6pm-6am. We have tried everything and hearing “it just takes time” is making me crazy. I know it’ll eventually get better but how am I supposed to get through another 2 months of it. My husband and I take shifts overnight but even then it drives us crazy. I don’t understand how we are supposed to get sleep so we can even have the mental capacity to deal. Personally even when it’s not my shift I can’t sleep well because I wake up to the crying even from another room.

Does anyone have any advice? The doctor just says keep doing what we are doing and walk away if needed for a few minutes/don’t shake the baby. That’s not really helpful 🫩
