@ponsgirl that's the same thing my sister's doctor did. If it happens to me I'll definitely be trying sensitive or soy formula...anything to help.

Is anyone else freaking out like I am lol

The doctor would never give me anything to help them. He just said they'll grow out if it and after he said that I just broke down sobbing. Its definitely hard to describe to someone who hasn't gone through it.

I'm also a single mom and not sure if I'll even be able to take a full 6 weeks maternity leave, I'm just freaking out as my due date is creeping up

Yeah I got really depressed after I had her cause of the non stop crying. My first had colic also. I told my husband we're due for a easy baby. I'm just scared I'll fall back into depression if this baby crys like my other kids did. My husband works from 6a.m to 7 p.m so I can never get a break from it.

That's what I'm afraid of. My daughter was a really good baby and I think if my son it'd anything like she was it shouldn't be too bad, I'm just terrified he'll be collicy

I honestly didn't think I was gonna survive the first 3 months cause my daughter had colic and cryed constantly. It was extremely difficult, but it was really easy after she got to the 3 month mark. Now I'm 14 weeks pregnant and so terrified this baby will have colic to. I don't know what I'll do if he does cause I'll still have 2 other kiddos to tend to.

Irish twins are siblings that are less than a year apart.
@ponsgirl how hard was it bringing the newborn home
