anyone have experience i have been up for 36 hours and am beat... i just want to sleep and all i can do is cry with him i feel so bad for him

Both of my sons had it. Other than crying along with them I have no advice. It was hell.

Semethicone(sp) drops you can get at the drug store.
I used to massage my babies stomachs too.
I would lay them on their backs and softly feel their tummys for gas bubbles, then I would massage it until they popped.
You could also maybe put a warm cloth on his belly.
Good luck girl.
I do remember those days well.

There is a natural colic remedy that walmart used to sell-can't remember name(been 17 years) but I have seen it- it is with the baby stuff- it worked wonderfully! I will check tomorrow and find the name if I can.

You can just heat up a blanket in the dryer and lay it on your chest with him on his belly against it. Worked well for my son. Good Luck and I know how frustrating it can be.

My second son Wes had colic and nothing the pediatrician said worked. Then I listened to my mama,and put some corn syrup in water and LO AND BEHOLD it WORKED. Just a couple of ounces of it every 3 or 4 hours. Moms know BEST!!!
