Today I blocked almost everyone on H..ram. My mother-in-law is driving me crazy, insisting that there should be at least a 3-hour break between feedings, saying that babies used to be fed every 4 hours and were fine. She'll yell and then stop 😫. And my mom is driving me crazy, saying our baby's tummy hurts because we don't give water, claiming that they used to give water and it was fine, that it must be medicinal and will cure colic immediately, and that I'm a fool for buying half the pharmacy, when the whole issue is just water 😤. I'm so over it, honestly.

Oh my gosh... one piece of advice is worse than the next.

Colic is tough, and the pharmacy doesn't help much. It's something you just have to get through. Try a warm compress on the tummy, massage, bringing the legs up, and skin-to-skin contact.

Your mother-in-law is right if we're specifically discussing how to deal with colic. But you have every right to block both of them because a stressed-out mom isn't good for the baby.
Are you friends with AI? Ask it, 'What causes colic in newborns and how can I deal with it?'

Kristina My baby can't last 2 hours, and you're talking about 3-4, it's just impossible. We were told at the maternity hospital that we should feed on demand, and that the first month is a "fourth trimester" where they need their mom and breast. Let them nurse as much as they need. I'm already trying to give them the breast for short periods so the milk they just drank can digest before a new feeding, but alas...

Tanya I don't want to completely get rid of it, but at least ease it, I feel so sorry for her, she's crying so much 😕

My mom gives me the weirdest advice too. I just tell her, "I have twice as many kids as you did, and things have changed in 30 years." She gets offended, but I don't care.

Tanya These things help. Only time will relieve colic.

If there's a rash, I know they say to roll it out with a soft cloth, and you can wash with holy water, but it won't save you from colic.

Ours only brag, and we only love our grandchildren from afar. They're both at home, and no one's coming over.

Kristina Those struggling with colic often accept that the baby "can't take it anymore and asks to eat." This means they choose "crying from hunger" over "crying from colic."
I was lucky – both my babies were on a strict schedule (every 3 hours) and would start crying to ask for food not after 2 hours, but after 2 hours and 40 mins, or 2 hours and 45 mins. So, letting them nurse for 15-20 minutes was easy for me. I don't know if I could have handled listening to them cry for a whole hour.
