Understanding Cries
With my second baby what I thought was colic - constant, ear-shattering screaming, usually after every time she nursed - turned out to be dairy allergy. It took me WEEKS to figure out why she was so miserable with life, but the very first day of my elimination diet, she became a new baby. If your baby is appears to have colic and you're breastfeeding (or using a dairy-based formula) I highly recommend cutting out dairy, it worked like magic with my daughter. It was HARD and it felt like I could barely eat for the four months it took her to outgrow it, but if your baby has colic, you'll probably try anything to get him/her to stop crying!
