I spent some of them sobbing in the pediatrician office as I struggled to get anyone, ANYONE, to tell me that 12 hours of successive crying was NOT normal! If it helps, it is much calmer now. However, when I was there....it DID NOT help! If all else fails....Lexapro works wonders! (Just a thought) Colic, how I remember those days!
