Our photo shoot of our new son, and any advice for colic out there?
If you've been following my blog, you know we had our 3rd child recently, it's been exciting but also tiring as he's not much a sleeper and seems to have some terrible colic much like our first.
It was bad the first time around, and I'm not even sure he's as bad as our first born son was, but the problem is the lack of sleep that spills over to the days. It was much easier to sleep, when only had 1 child, but with the new one stealing our nights and the big ones demanding our full days it's starting to take it's toll.
I remember with our firs spending hours at night, walking on a treadmill in the basement carrying him, or spending hours in the daytime just walking around outside with him strapped to me in a baby wrap. Both those things still work this time around, but once again it's way harder with the others.
I don't think there's any trick to make it all better, and I'm sure it's really just a matter of getting into better routines and ignoring the clutter and disarray in the house, and accepting all the unfinished work and chores.
Anyways, lets change focus and just admire his super cute photos.
But look how cute he is, in these photo's we had taken and surprisingly peaceful.
Maybe we'll have to take him to the photographer's daily to nap, he just looks so angelic and peaceful in these photos.
Anyways bed is calling fast, morning comes early for the older kids

I found the trick with collic (happily only 1 of our 3 suffered), is to just get through the next 10 minutes.
Repeat as necessary.
Great advice man, it can sure take its toll.
Yup, that 10 minute quip is so true. I don't know if it was considered colic, my wife called it the witching hour. Which is a misnomer, because it usually lasted anywhere from 6pm to 11pm.
That sounds about the exact same schedule as our little guy.
God bless ya man! It was a fun few weeks for us, hopefully you don't get it that bad.
You could consider talking to a qualified cranio-sacral therapist, if you have one in the area.
My last born had terrible reflux, and a session with the above did absolute wonders!
Really beautiful photo shoot. Pics to treasure. <3
I'll have to investigate a bit locally, we did try the chiropractor with our oldest.
Baby swing and/or a music box type thing that plays something similar to running water or an ocean. Babies are used to hearing the blood pumping through the womb in their mom's belly and that's often the biggest cause of their discomfort.

Thx man, we have a few things like that they certainly do help a bit, just not for the full blown episodes.
What a beautiful baby boy he is. Things are bound to get easier sooner rather than later I hope. Very sweet! 🐓🐓
Looking forward to that day, he is damn cute though, thx.
Absolutely precious. Thank you for sharing these adorable photos @phelimint :)
