^Ano mga ginagawa mo para magcalm down siya? Mom ko tuloy iniisip baka daw nausog kasi nung una hindi naman siya ganun.  I read up on colic, apparently kabag siya di ba? Mukhang hindi naman kinakabag si baby.

^ako sis ginagawa ko naglalakad lakad kami sa luob ng bahay... minsan sinasakay ko sa stroller... o kaya sinasakay ko sa kotse... nabasa ko kasi ito sa net and so far effective naman kay baby. Yun lang lahat to tinatry ko para lang mapatahan siya bukod pa yung pagpahid ng manzanilla sa tummy, bumbunan at paa

sis kulotski, ganyan din si baby ko before. di ko na maalala kung kelan nag start. pero yes, very timely ang pag gising and pag iyak niya. 1-3 AM si baby ko. as in walang humpay na iyak. kahit anong karga ang gawin ko. na try mo na ba idapa sayo si baby mo? ganon kasi ang ginagawa ko before, ipag-he-hele ko sya. kapag nakatulog na, dahan dahan na ko hihiga habang naka dapa sya sakin effective samin yon.

and dont worry, kasi mawawala din yan. nung nag 3mos. si baby ko. derecho na ang tulog niya from 6pm-5am. pero syempre, feeding in between tapos nap time after taking a bath, 11am-3pm. kung 2mos. na si baby mo, malapit na matapos ang sleepless nights nyong mag-ina for now kelangan mo muna hulaan kung anong cause ng pag iyak niya. di naman kasi palaging colic diba? goodluck!

Hi everyone...my LO (baby boy) is turning 2 months on June 8, 2012...I am so happy to say that he is a well baby and is currently on breast milk...I have a problem though...he seems to be very upset and constantly he cries when 10 o'clock pm strikes...pinapadede ko na siya...malinis naman yung diaper and I make sure that he is warm pero ayaw pa rin mapacify (his cries just become louder when I give him a pacifier yung iyak na tipong buong barangay makakarinig...no kidding)...he keeps on crying after feeding and I let him burp...Actually back to office na ako coz my maternity leave days is over...I feel like I am a walking zombie in the office because of lack of sleep (evidence: dark eyebags)...can somebody here give me advice how to remedy this? Thanks.

hi sis.  i recommend watching The Happiest Baby on The Block. 



ganyan din ang baby ko lalo na nung first month. pag dumadating na ang gabi, kinakabahan na ako kase alam ko magwawala na naman si baby.

i knew it was colic pero how was i gonna address it?

i read that merong specific time na talagang ma iiyak ang baby.

i would cry at night.  and i felt that i was doing something wrong.

the dvd [The Happiest Baby on The Block] not only helped me with the baby, it also made me realize that I was not the only mom who experienced this.  It was a huge relief.

Now my baby is turning 5 months.  And those horrible nights when she was 1-2 months old are nothing but a memory

[abz22]

^ ayan.. si baby first ko, 1month ganyan.. every 2 hours ng madaling araw, iiyak.. buti na lang hindi masyadong malakas iyak niya dati.. what I do is make hele.. then binibgyan siya ng milk gang makasleep.. ganun.. after 1 month ok naman siya..

I really pray sa 2nd baby ko hindi na ganito.. huhu.. 

[Mommy Jazz]

Wala kayo sa baby ko... ( )
Magigising ng hating gabi, iyak ng malakas. Hindi siya mapapatahan ng kahit ano. Not feeding, hele, rocking, toys. So I need to take him to the living room and watch sesame street video. Hanggang 4am na yon. Minsan he doesn't want anything but to rock him to sleep. Ayaw niya na steady lang ako, gusto niya lumalakad ako habang karga ko siyang niyu-yugyog. Pag tumigi ako, he will know and cry again, back to square 1 kami. Pag akala kong tulog na, I'll slowly lay him down. Pag nakaramdam ng paghiga, he'll wake up ang scream again. So marathon akong parang lukaret na paikot-ikot sa loob ng bahay ng hating gabi just to get him to sleep. Breastfed ang baby ko so ayaw sumama sa daddy kaya nasa akin ang stress that I sometimes lose it. Sa umaga naman, sensitive masyado. Konting bangga lang iyak agad. Malakas siya umiyak that I need to close doors and windows dahil baka ma report kami sa bantay bata. Hindi ko naman mapalo to stop kasi hindi niya naiintindihan yung concept ng "palo" besides, it will make matters worse.
This went on til he turned 2. I read about it actually. 1 in readers digest and 1 in another local mommy mag. Yung story sa readers digest, her baby's condition stressed her marriage. Medyo umabot din kaming mag asawa dun. Tapos nawala nalang when her baby turned 2.
Yung sa isang local mommy mag naman (not SP), the condition was termed "high-need baby". Walang solution na binigay. Description lang. Yun yung ayaw tumigil umiyak no matter what and it wears off by the time the baby reaches 2. Ang common sa stories nila sa akin is boy ang baby namin lahat.
My husband thought then that he might be special so we had him assessed. Thank God hindi. The Dev Ped explained that the wiring in his brain responsible for not reacting to small stuffs isn't fully developed yet. He was so self centered and he doesn't see me as a mommy but as a slave.
His night time crying eventually stopped pero yung behavior niya went on. It was remedied by occupational therapy.
Now he's the sweetest boy ever!

[abz22]

^ natawa ako sa part na bantay bata.. hahaha.. so ganun siya nakakaawa umiyak? 

anyway, isa din yan.. minsan challenge din talaga sa marriage.. hay.. dami ko natutunan sa SP.. kasi yung next baby ko baka boy ee.. sana naman hindi ako pahirapan ng ganyan mommy..  huhu.. 

[eekai]

ganun din ang pag iyak ng baby ko.  usually kasi 4am din sya nagwawala noon eh.  and naiisip ko talaga na baka pinag chichismisan na ako ng mga kapitbahay namin na baka kung ano na ginagawa namin sa anak namin ha ha.

it does put a strain sa marriage.  sa amin naman parang palagi kaming nag aaway noon kase i felt that most of the burden was on me while my hubby gets up early in the morning to go to school and then i am left with the baby.  sure merong yaya pero i did not like the idea of giving the baby to the yaya all the time.  we only really let the yaya take care of the baby pag meron kaming work. or else if we are free then we do everything ourselves.

the good thing is that this passes.  we don't know for how long but it does.  depende na lang talaga siguro kung merong ibang issues that need medical help.

hang in there mommy

[Mommy Jazz]

Oh sorry I forgot to share the solution given by the Mother-Child Psychologist we saw. Yes, umabot sa ganun, na nag pa check up kaming 2 kasi hindi na kaya ng powers ko yung pag iyak niya.
He was first given the basic test, hearing, sight, to see if he looks at the direction of the sound, etc. Nung naguusap na kami ng Doctor at nainip na siya (5 mins max siya sa isang lugar), ayun umiyak nanaman. Nakakahiya pag sa public place so I want to pick him up pero sabi nung Doctor huwag as she observe him.
Her conclusion was, my baby sees me as an extension of his body and directs me to what he wants. Hayaan ko daw umiyak so he will realize crying does not work and he should learn how to ask. Expect the crying to increase so I briefed all family members na tiis muna, kailangan siyang hayaang umiyak at huwag pakalmahin. Importante kasi na siya mismo ang matutong tumigil umiyak. That's what happened nga, lumalakas at tumagal ang iyak ang I leave him alone provided alam kong wala naman siyang kailangan.
Again, naging away namin ng husband ko kasi ayaw niya ng maingay. What I do is I let him cry when my husband is at work and defy doctor's orders when he's at home.
Yes the crying subsided but it wasn't easy.
I  never wish this same situation on anybody. Nakakaloka promise!

I did those things to my baby early on,  kahit hindi sya palaiyak basta once na nagtantrums kasi ayaw magpababa, i still placed her on the cot, then iiwan ko sya even if she is crying so loud, i talked to her kahit she's only 4 months that time that i wouldnt be there with her all the time, lets say nasa toilet ako then nasa cot sya, sinasabi ko then while im there i talked to her kaso syempre medyo pasigaw na ako ng konti so she could hear me. She gets used to it, so now kahit may tantrums sya i still left her sa cot with toys and she pacify and calm down on her own, then once na tahimik na sya thats where i picked her up and praise her for a job well done. I do rewards her at times when she follows instructions kahit nowna 1 year old na sya she seldom cry ng napakatagal because she knows na the more na umiyak sya the more na hindi ko sya kukunin my husband taught me that idea

[danel_em]

pag umiiyak si baby in the middle of the night, first: nilalagay ko muna yung pacifier kasi minsan un lang ang hanap niya. 2nd: baka nauuhaw 3rd kakargahin ko na at pupunta kami sa salamin tapos titigil na iyak niya hehe tatawa pa

[graciemie]

My baby also cries at night, at 3times talaga! i'm a working mom and hubby's away, weekends lang siya nasa bahay so imagine how lutang I am kapag nasa work. Pero dati once nabigay ko na dede ko tatahan na siya (he's breastfed), but ngaun he turned 6months grabe di siya titigil sa pag iyak unless i-carry ko siya e 8kilos na siya ang bigat talaga. Is there any way para mabalik ko siya sa dati?
