Questions & Answers

i didnt like the idea of giving him formula because i had been breastfeeding only, but i DID like the idea of sleeping while my mom fed the baby. after i woke up from my nap the difference was amazing!! i was shocked. he was sitting in his little chair, HAPPY! not crying! ever since then i gave him similac sensitive and he was such a happy baby. i dont know if it was an allergy to my milk or an allergy to lactose in general, but i knew this worked and i never did switch back. This may not be the problem with your baby but i thought it might help to hear my story.

I went through purple crying with all 3 of my kids. with my first 2 babies it started around 2 months old to 6 months. they would start crying around 6pm and not stop until 10pm or so. there was nothing i could do at the time and i know how you feel... so helpless and frustrated, but just know that its not something you are doing. I read about a study that found all breast fed animals go through the purple phase which is interesting and comforting in a way.

With my 3rd baby, the crying started right away, as soon as we were home from the hospital. the only time he didnt cry was when he was sleeping (which wasnt often) even when he was nursing he would cry between breaths. it was heartbreaking. I summed it up to the same thing, only it started much earlier then my other 2 kids, and it was ALL day rather then in the evenings. i went to my mothers when the baby was about 3 months old, to get some help and she had bought a case of Similac Sensitive formula,,..cont.

I don't have any experience with purple crying, but I just wanted to say, "Hang in there!" Is there any way your hubby or a family member or close friend could take the baby out of the house for 3h or something just so you can get some rest? Obviously it's important that baby stay near you most of the time, but sleep deprivation is horrible and won't help you to get through this. With a bit more sleep, things often seem more manageable. *Hugs* and good luck!
