You might try changing formula brands, sometimes helps.

Failing that if you get really desperate you could try knocking her out with a dose of calpol! Not that you should do that on a regular basis of course!

Ellie had the same thing. It is awful, , but be re-assured it does eventualy get better.

The thing we found that helped most was doing special massages on her tummy, and then folding her legs up to her chest, then massaging her tummy. As soon as the pain started to hit.

I will try and find the details I wrote up a while ago and send them to you.

They typically grow out of the colic at 3months. Ellie did. It was worse at about 1.5months IIRC.

thanks for your help, roll on 3 months, she has her jabs on friday! so she will be having a dose of the old calpol

I found that Maddison got better when we changed her milk from Aptamil to SMA Gold. Before this we had screaming sessions 9am-11am, 4pm-7pm, 9pm-midnight and 3am-5am We were exhausted When we switched her milk her colic times seemed to be between 9pm-midnight for a couple of weeks and now she doesnt have them at all I also think giving her cooled boiled water around 7pm helped her tummy loads
