You can't quite see it, but Jack's sleep suit is embossed with the words I'm lo
ud and I'm proud.... this has been very appropriate for him in the past few nights.
He is now nearly seven weeks old, but he seems to have a very grissly evening slot when he shouts the house down and nothing you do can shut him up. Is he colicky?? Eventually he goes to sleep. To be fair he has been sleeping longer through the night - it's just getting there that has been a bit of a struggle...
Any advice then please let us know ... I guess he could have a bit of colic, but that seems to be a fairly unscientific problem with no solution how to cure it.. I've found this article and this one. Hope they help ... for us we'll try anything to soothe home a little, although it does seem that my wife Charlie is far better at this than me.

Hi James,
Just seen your blog on Jack's cries. Sounds like colic. Had the same problem with my daughter. She started at around 8 weeks and would start screaming at around 4pm and scream until about 8.30pm every night. Tried everything, gripe water, changing bottles, changing formula, over the counter stuff but nothing worked. Dr said she'd grow out of it and she did when she got to 3 months...
One thing you can try is putting him over your knee on his tummy and rubbing his back when he gets it. That seemed to work quite well for her. I also put her to sleep on her front because she was always restless on her back and the Dr said to give this a try and it did work, even though everyone says babies shouldn't sleep on their fronts!
Hope this helps!!
Sarah.
Many thanks for this Sarah - we will try this out... at the moment a hair dryer is soothing the little fella.
