My son who is now 6 had severe colic. He was born 3 weeks early so his digestive system wasn't quite ready for him to be in the real world. I tried elimination diets, medications, holistic methods. At one point I was only eating chicken and rice .Even chocolate was bad. There's an enzyme in it that babies can't digest. Greens can cause reflux and gas as well. I eventually was so exhausted that I couldn't produce enough to nurse him anymore. He ended up being put on allimentum which is a formula where the proteins and enzymes are broken down making it easier for them to digest. He was essentially allergic to my milk. It killed me that I was basically the cause for his pain, but seeing him start to thrive after was pretty life changing. It sucks. It's terrifying. But you're still actively trying to help him. That's what counts.
Ashley O'Brien first thing I thought of and dealt with myself and many other ppl are saying the same thing so I really hope she sees this even tho it’s probably not something she wants to hear but needs to consider
Flynn was also born 3 weeks early. I think Colleen needs to see this.
@@brandyweaver8043 ive heard stories like this before, i hope colleen sees it and gives it a try
Same with my twin neices. My sister, per neonatal Dr's. advice, once they came home, would have us carry them with their legs tucked in (legs bent, knees to stomach) and they seemed to calm down a bit. Also gentle, but firm tummy rubs in a circular, counter clockwise motion.
Also, my other niece had hip alignment issues & would squeal cry in pain. She ended up having to wear a little brace type thing for a month or 2, which was tough, but she didn't cry as much after that, the painful cry i mean.
Ashley O'Brien I was born in July but was supposed to be born in October
*Sounds really reallllly random, but have you asked the doctor to check his sphincter muscle? Sometimes babies have a super suuuuuper tight sphincter muscle so any pooping, passing gas or indigestion, is very painful. You can check the theory by putting the tip of a thermometer in their bum and see if he relaxes. Sounds weird as hell, but that is actually a HUGE CAUSE of colic that many dont talk about. Stretching the area out with a glove and vaseline can really help.*
*The technical term for it is: anal stenosis*
You should comment this on one of colleens comment
comment
Camille&Bambi omg its so real! Colleen has to try it
I really hope Colleen sees this!
Camille&bambie actually Flynn just has something most baby’s have go check her latest vid on her main channel
Write a book about your pregnancy. Talk about body change, emotional mind set; give us the good and the not so good about it all.
Yesenia Luna yes!!
Omg yes! A book like this needs to exist & Colleen would be the perfect author for it ❤️
Yesss
This sounds like what happened to jessi smiles son. Turned out he was allergic to her breast milk. Look into that maybe! Love you Colleen you’re an amazing mom and nothing that is happening is your fault. You’re doing everything you can! Xox
ericaleexo oh my god yes i wrote comment yesterday saying the same thing i wish your comment get most liked or something so she could see it.... god bless her ❤️
COLLEEN READ THIS OMG
Shannon Huskey I soo hope she does!!
I was just thinking this!
Vote this comment up!!
Have you tried giving him probiotics? My sister is a doctor - her son had colic, gas & severe constipation, so she put him on probiotics (mixes it with his morning milk) & it definitely helped him feel a lot more comfortable & regulated his digestion. You should research it. Mind you, probiotics are natural & safe.
Please like this, so she sees this.
I take probiotics sometimes and it really helped my digestion. I don’t know anything about babies but I’m sure that Flynn would feel better
Good suggestion and safe to try
Gripe water and pro biotic drops!!!
One thing that struck me hard in this video is your unbridled passion and love for caring for Flynn and making sure he's happy and healthy. Far too often we see news stories, videos, etc, of people and the horrid things they've done to their kids or newborns. Even just going out in public, I see so many parents that just "couldn't be bothered" by their child's needs or putting all sorts of things first. I was really touched to see how much passion you have for him and how much drive you have to make sure he's happy and healthy. Keep that drive and focus... It's part of you, and it will help him more than you know. It will also grow into a great bond between you two as he grows, giving him comfort and safety just by being near you. To me, this is a sign of being an amazing first mom.
There is nothing more to say.... 👩👦💕
Well said
yes!!! so much respect for her
I hope she sees this!
Yes ik right
My god I'm on my period and I'm so emotional and the second colleen cried I burst into tears 😭
robie mccdizzle omg same
UR PERIOD AND THIS SOOOO DIFFERENT OMG
@@maddisonsilk6481
Yes but no ya their very different but hormones and mood swings both happen
Colic is awful, I am thankful to god that my son never went through that but I know a lot of women who have had babies with colic and it is horrendous. Maybe he's not tolerating your milk? Nothing to do with you but maybe there's a formula that would be easier on his stomach? Some babies are lactose intolerant and that causes severe pain for them. The fact he has reflux too will be making it even worse for him, poor thing. You are doing the best thing by trying everything you can, but definitely start with maybe changing his milk? I know it's not ideal as I know you love to breast feed but it could be the lactose reacting in his belly. Take comfort in knowing you're doing the best you can and you're not alone xx
FYI: bad mums (parents) don’t get that upset about their children having a bad time!!!
You could not be further from a “bad parent”! You are doing your best and you will learn that’s pretty much all parenting is.. trying to do your best every single day.
It will come, don’t let anyone tell you what to do. Trust your instincts and take each day as it comes xx
You are soooooooooooooooooooooo right
Agreed!
man im just a teen but it hit me hard about the fact that our mothers do so much for us for things that we don’t even remember
Colleen: *cries* Me: *cries*
Samee!!!!
Flyen cry coleen cry we cry 😭
Same
Same
Literally. Saaaaaaaaaame
You are doing great. Doctors will tell you a bunch of stuff but you are Flynn's best advocate. You trust your gut. YOU are amazing. Good for you for going to other doctors. You got this.
Look into sensory processing. Babies with sensory processing disorders are often very upset. When a body has no idea how to process sensations it can be VERY uncomfortable, scary, painful, etc. Just something to look into. Hope this helps!
Rae Delia I hope Colleen sees your comment. She has mentioned that Flynn likes a white noise machine which makes me think blocking noise makes him feel better. You may be on to something.
Agreed! Hopefully you see this Colleen!
Rae Delia +
Always trust your instincts. Especially now, your instincts are heightened as a mom. If you feel there is something more, or feel like there is something out there, don't stop searching. I encourage you to find a real therapist too. Between your pregnancy and your delivery, you've experienced some real trauma and I think therapy would really strengthen your mental state.
Exactly!!!
This is true! Mom instinct is real!
I agree. Colleen, you have definitely had a traumatic year and you are in problem-solving mode right now. But when Flynn is doing better (and he WILL) there’s a great potential for you to emotionally crash.
Watching this 3 years later and Flynn is such a happy little guy now. So happy you were able to get thru this rough time
You’re an amazing mother! And when you eventually get the time should consider writing a book about your pregnancy. You’re story is so moving and you’re so strong not to mention an icon in the pregnant community for showing the truth and all the sides of pregnancy
Please like this so Colleen can see this information! Colleen, please join this group on FB - Breastfeeding Mums with Allergic and Food Intolerant Babies Australia. The mums in this group have been/are going through this exact thing, and can help you and Flynn. They have all dealt with doctors and specialists who say nothing is wrong, and they have had to fight and do their own research/trials to help their babies. Colic is a SYMPTOM, not a condition. Your mumma instincts are right in that there is more to this.
In case you're not aware already, if you're already cutting out dairy, you should also cut out soy (which is way harder than dairy as it's in EVERYTHING) as their proteins are very similar, and bubs with CMPI/CMPA often react to both. It can also take up to 6 weeks to get all the dairy proteins out of your body, so please stick with it.
The group is wonderful for support, and the admins and members just genuinely want to help other struggling mums and babies, as the medical industry are severly lacking with knowledge on this.
Hang in there, you're doing the best you can for him with the information you have. Keep fighting for him and things WILL get better soon x
I really hope she sees this ♥️ my babies have allergies.
@@TylerPlut thank you, I hope your babies allergies are under control now and not causing them too much discomfort ❤ I'm still trying to figure out some food intolerances with my daughter, but thankfully her only symptom these days is poo related. Hopefully once I finish breastfeeding it will be easier to pinpoint her triggers and she can heal her gut.
I ended up having to cut out all dairy, egg and soy. Soy being a huge one. It's hidden in everything. My little one would break out in eczema so bad she would scratch untill she bled. And she had horrible digestive issues. All cleared up once we eliminated it! I was doing a modified elimination diet
I wish I had had all the resources available now when I was going through all of this with my son. I'm so glad you all are reaching out to help Colleen!! We ALL know it is a nightmare to feel so helpless when our babies are hurting and she needs to know that there's a whole community out there in the thick of it as well and that can help. Kudos to all you mommies!! 👏
@@TylerPlut Soy is such a sneaky one that most people aren't told about, but can have a huge impact on bub. That's another reason why switching bub over to a dairy free formula isn't always a good option. I'm so glad you figured it out, and that you stuck with the elimination diet, as it can be too much for a lot of new mum's and they just listen to their doctors and poor bub still has to suffer, just in other ways - like eczema, chronic constipation, mucous in the poo...
Her love for him is literally the purest bliss ever.
I know right
you are trying soo hard colleen and it’s so obvious that you care for him more then anything, just remember that you are doing great, and you are an AMAZING mom, ily and i hope bby flynn feels better
This kind of sounds like something that Jessi Smiles' son went through. Maybe she would be a great fellow mom to chat with! She just moved to LA
My daughter screamed in pain for three months. I was the only one who she would let hold her. She had acid reflux and couldn't tolerate breast milk. We switched to a soy formula, plus meds for reflux, and she slowly got better. She is 21 and in college now. Still has bad acid reflux and lactose intolerant.
My daughter was the same way with my breast milk...
Shelly ??? This is exactly what happened to you tuber Jessismiles as well. She should try formula for a day and see how it goes!
I just posted something similar about soya milk. So glad to see someone agrees.
Lactose intolerance?? My daughter who is now 15, sounds just like your son. The first 2 months was rough. I finally switched to lactose free formula. I stopped breast feeding and only did the LF formula. After 2 days there was a light. She slept 8 hrs and crying for the both of us slowed right down. Thoughts?
You are doing everything right!! Strong mama!!
I think she said she wasn't eating dairy
Yes! One of mine to had to be switched to lactose free formula. .some mom's don't want to give up breast feeding. ..but if it's best for him try it!
Wendy Hampton breast milk is dairy😂
Other animals’ milk isn’t suitable for humans so hopefully Colleen and other parents look into this. :( I’ve learned that it’s not the breast milk. It’s the negative effects of cow’s milk and other animal products. I hope no one turns away from this information just from feeling bothered. Breast milk is essential.
Jenna D dairy implies cow or bovine. Human breast milk is dairy free if the mother isn’t ingesting it. ☺️
As a mom I feel you 100%. For one of my babies I gave him 1oz of chamomile tea it helped. At that time I felt desperate, I'm glad I listened to my mom instincts. Good luck momma 💖
Could Flynn be lactose intolerant? That would make it symptoms worse than colic. You are doing amazing! Being a mum is the hardest job in the world! Xx
Kate Short she already cut dairy out of her diet!
quianna gosau she is feeding him her breast milk though which is dairy.
Bethan Dickenson it’s DEFINITELY not dairy...
It could be something else other than lactose. If I eat anything spicy at all, my daughter gets a tummy ache, gluten makes her break out really bad. Cabbage makes her fussy. So sometimes doing a elimination diet, and seeing if it’s a certain food the mom is eating, and keeping a food journal can be really beneficial.
Dairy comes from cows!
Honey, my babygirl was the same she was crying in pain but the doctors told me that there was nothing wrong with it that she will grow out of it. Untill i took her to a chiropractor. She was sleeping a little funky too. Well next thing you know one of her neckmuscle was stiff that was what was bothering her. After few visits i have the happiest babygirl ever!! Try it! Even if there is nothing wrong you can say at the end i've done it!! Huge mommy hugss 😘
HerpzDerpz yes! A chiropractor helps greatly with reflux too!
HerpzDerpz YES! Pediatric Chiropractic care is AMAZING!
I came to recommend chiropractic help for reflux. It’s pretty rough on babies and their poor mommies. 😢💓
HerpzDerpz I’m actually a chiropractic assistant and Jesus the amount of stress put on a babies body’s while moving through the birth canal is completely bonkers! Also any mamas out there with kiddos who suffer from ear infections should take them to the chiropractor the adjustments help immensely!
Hope she sees this!
I'm so sorry little Flynn is going through a colic phase. My first son was the same way from 2 weeks to 3 months. He got the most relief from Little Remedies Advanced colic relief drops. I hope you see this, in case this is something you have not gotten to try! Feel better soon Flynn!
Don’t be scared to post this, Colleen! You are a wonderful mother! If you need to focus on Flynn, don’t worry about social media! I understand you are trying your your very hardest to help him, and I’ve felt that too!! Even though I’m not a mother, I’ve felt that with friends. When one of my friends is sad, and I try to help them, and sometimes they will still be sad! It is hard because I really feel the need to help!! Anyways, if you need a break for a month or two, do it! Whatever you need for your little Flynn 🥰
I hope you know that the only reason you see other moms on CZcams out and about and your not is because they are only showing the good parts of motherhood and you are showing all of them. THAT is what makes you so unique. I very much hope you find out what is happening with Flynn♥️ love you soo much!❤️♥️❤️
I know you’ve tested everything but not all doctors test for these. Maybe he has bad acid reflux, severe constipation (it’s no joke it sends me to the ER sometimes) or lactose intolerant. He could just not be doing well with your breast milk, it may be hurting his belly. Just some food for thought. I hope it’s none of these things but if they haven’t been checked yet it wouldn’t hurt to try. You’re doing amazing don’t be to hard on yourself❤️
Kendal Marie Hudson My poor friend had to switch to goats milk. It was hard she had a hard time not breastfeeding but it helped.
Kendal Marie Hudson she said he has acid reflux and has meds for it
Or caffeine!!! My daughter could NOT handle when I had caffeine until she was 3-4 months so I had to completely cut it out.
she legit says he has acid reflux
Sammantha Smith okay damn I missed that part.... but that doesn’t mean there isn’t other things going on because clearly there is. Just trying to give ideas that’s all... normally there’s something else in play along with acid reflux.
probably will be lost in comments, but you’re my therapy too. love you, you make my day brighter.
you are doing so amazing already. sending so much love and positivity your way.
"I'm going to listen to my child and I'm going to listen to my Mom instincts."
Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes, a million times yes.
My son cried and cried all the time when he was a newborn. I went to numerous doctors ...all gave me no advice other then colic and cluster feeding....finally one doctor told me try formula- every other doctor told me no to formula..finally I did and it worked!( not saying to use formula rather then breastfeed but my point is eventually you will find a doctor with a solution!)hang in there mama, I now have four little ones and looking back I wish I wouldn’t have blamed myself so much. Also, just my two cents- take him out put him in a carrier and get yourself out! Take a walk around a craft store - even if he screams it’s ok. You needs to get out to, coming from my own experience I was losing it when I didn’t leave the house. Your not alone in this- most of those moms posting happy pictures aren’t posting the many pictures or moments they are sitting on their floor crying because being a mom is hard xo
All three of my babies had the same exact symptoms and crying in pain. The E.R doctors also our pediatrician said just had colic, acid reflux etc... Nothing worked... I tried everything and finally we got a second opinion and switched to soy formula and it helped. As soon as my other two children showed the same signs I switched them as well and I'm telling you it was a complete 360. It doesn't hurt to try. You are doing the best you can. It is not your fault at all. It happens to the best of us. Hope this helps
Tatiana Negron oh man, that must’ve been hard, but relieving to know that you just need to change your baby’s food! Btw, I think you meant 180, because 360 is a full rotation that would put you in the same place you started 😁
@@riana4180 Yes, it was tough, but I'm glad it was an easy fix. Haha, and yes 180. I definitely wouldn't want to end up where I started 😉
Good advice glad that worked out for you! 👍🏻
But she is breastfeeding? She can't change what her body makes 🤷🏼♀️ unless you mean to switch to using formula?
Grace L yea, switch from breast feeding to soy formula.
Colleen, I pinky promise you so much that once he starts solid food his reflux will ease. All three of my babies had reflux and it’s so harsh for them! The cry is awful! A lot of people don’t realise how painful reflux is! Is burning, gnawing, it affects their little tummies. Poor Flynn. 😭 YOUR DOING EVERYTHING RIGHT!! All of my three babies screamed in pain, it’s awful!! Just keep searching for something that could help, to be honest though nothing really helped apart from not jiggling them around as this causes the acid to rumble around in his tummy. Also what he allready doing! Keeping him upright ect.
I promise you solid food will save the day!! Just remind yourself he will get through this and so will u!
Allow yrself to cry! ❤️❤️❤️
Robyn _birde wow that is long
Very true about solid food. My son was 2 weeks away from Getting surgery to stop the reflux and it finally stopped after feeding solid food.
When she cries I crie because I don't want her to be sad
My son had colic for 2 months and he would cry a lot in pain. I changed my diet and took out sugars and refined foods. I also had probiotic foods to aid with my digestion as I've suffered digestive problems all my life. He calmed down instantly. I also used to rub his back and his stomach gently. I hope this helps you and that your beautiful little boy will get better soon!!
She said she changed her diet and had medicine for colic for him. Appreciate your story, but she specified she already did that. I’m hoping doctors find out soon what’s wrong with Flynn! 😢
Have you tried Gerber Soothe drops? It's helped many babies I know with colic.
Aww I just wanna give Colleen a hug ❤️
Same😭
Yesssssssss
SHALOM JACKIE
Ik same
AnnabelleKyria shalommmm
You are the best mom! So much love for you and Flynn.
Girl ilysm your so real and raw and u will figure it out stay strong girl!!💕💪🏼
*oh my. hearing people’s “cry voice” hurts my heart😩*
I know what you mean it sounds so vulnerable and in pain
Mine too❤
Mine too
I know.. when she started, it was as if she was here. I’m like, “ No, stop crying. It’s okay!”
I was 18 and alone with my first son. A new scared mommy. And he had colic. I felt NOTHING i did would help him. I would stay so upset and frustrated because he would all day scream SCREAM. Bloody scream. And i could not do anything but hold him and cry...which he could feel my stress and would only make him more upset. I wish i could give you some advice or tips or words of encouragement...but i can not. I remember feeling helpless just as you are though...you are not alone. Im 26 now with 2 and one on the way...and it is NOT normal for babies to continually cry like flynn and my first son did. My second was night and day from my first son. Im sorry times are tough. I can openly say im with you COLIC is HELL. It is absolute HELL. Im so so sorry.
Heart this
Manda Panda u r such a great person 😊
I know I’m just a stranger but I’m so sorry that happened to you and your beloved son but you are really strong and a great mom. Hope you have a wonderful and happy life with your family 😘
I am not a mother, but my sisters had babies and i often watched them very upset about feeling like they cannot do nothing for them, i really wish the best to all the moms, i don't pretend to knoe but i seems hard.
If you are a mom like colleen,everything would be fine and you are a great mom.
Manda Panda well said ! It is hell ! Both mine had it for 6 months before it got better .
You are perfect.
You need to be reminded that more often.❤️💗
Check your breastmilk, he could be allergic. Jessi Smiles went through something similar and it was her breastmilk. Just a thought.
if a baby's allergic to breastmilk, it's more than likely something that mom is eating to cause this. I'd be tempted to eliminate things like dairy first to see if this makes a difference.
iloveperfume I don’t know how to read this no offense but wat?
@@kidman9471 I mean that lactose intolerance in babies is very rare, but possible. Most midwives and pediatricians recommend illiminating dairy first to see if that makes a difference.
Rude
@@sashaochieng6987 what is?
You are our therapy. You help us escape from reality for a few minutes
Period 😫
This is also very true, I absolutely love Colleen.
She does!!! 💕 I love her.
So true
My babies were colic. We survived with probiotics, meds, hypoallergenic formula after my breastmilk kept upsetting her so I had to switch (even after colic diet). We used RTF similac alimentum (don’t get powdered stuff). As sad as it was the alimentum helped the most. AND it did go away at 4 months. I have colic PTSD. My babies also survive don gallons of gripe water and oval gas drops, baths twice a day.....phew it was rough. ALSO REALLY NEED TO PAY ATTENTION TO WAKE TIMES. It’s so hard he is over tired. Babies cry and sleep less the less sleep they have. You need to get his sleep on track, every 90 min he should nap. Throw him in a stretchy wrap and bounce. It’s a temp fix but it will get his sleep back on track.
Hugs to you and your family. You are a great mom!
I love mommy vlogs!!! You’ll get through this and he will too!! Sending prayers and love!
This happened to my cousin, she had tried everything and in the end she tried feeding him formula, after only a day her son was so much better, her breast milk just didn't agree with him.
I am sending you all my love and best wishes.
Colleen please try this... ok it’s seems like it’s the opposite but my niece had what doctors blamed on being colic but my sister knew that it couldn’t be because it always sounded like she was in pain but one day she was struggling to get milk but it nothing would even if she pumped so we got formal.. it was suppose to be temporary but she completely shifted emotionally. She smiled and was happy and didn’t cry but at “normal” times so my sister let it go another day and she stayed happy but my sister breastfeed again and within the hour she began to scream in pain again so after that she never breastfeed again and we never had a problem
Colic is where his intestines are blocked... or he is super gassy. Its fluctuating pain in the abdomen. I hope you see this Colleen. My nephew/son had it and it does get better. Try a thermometer up the butt to help relieve some gas. It works.!!!! Yall help her see this!!!! Love y'all so much!
It’s called colic when babies cry for more than three hours a day but it’s not necessarily something to do with the intestines. There can be many causes of colic which makes it so hard to cure, but I’m sure Colleen is doing everything she can to help Flynn❤️
They should try to hold him on one arm with his stomach facing down. Hugs for Colleen from Germany ❤️
No offense but Colleen hates when people do this don’t try to tell her what’s wrong unless she asks, just wanted to tell you not trying to be rude :)
she's not telling her she's doing something wrong though, it's just some advice
@@tilleysherrill4507 she is trying to help and she is not being rude
wishing you and your family all the best! You are such a strong and smart woman, I'm sending you much love from Austria!
Dude I love love LOVE ! It when your telling us about your feelings😱 it is so comforting because it feels like I’m talking to a friend. and girl I totally get it. youtube is your your emotional outlet.

He's not fine if you know he's not. Your mom instincts are in full force...DO NOT listen to others. If you feel something is wrong then you keep talking to doctors until someone listens to you. Follow your instincts! You are doing the best you can, you love your son, you are doing a great job Colleen!

So true. Love that

Stay strong beautiful we’re all here for your support. I wish the best your your family!
Colleen you are amazing dont let anyone judge you. You dont need to to post we understand that your stressed. look after flynn like you want to
Both of my girls had terrible colic, it was so difficult & scary. I found out it was a lactose intolerance. I hope little Flynn gets better. Its not your fault, you are a great Mom and, you too,are not alone. Most Moms know the pain when our babies are hurting and we feel helpless to fix it. It is understandable to have lots of tears, fear, frustration ect. It also shows even more what AMAZING parents you both are. To any peeps out there leaving negativity I ask you why? What do you gain? Have you had a bad day or are you naturally cranky? And most importantly.... DO YOU NEED A HUG? I am saying that with all sincerity, FREE hugs found here. Lots of love, positivity, health, wealth and internet ((hugs)) from my family to yours.
Cutest thing I have ever read ❤️
And I’ve read that it can take a loooong time for dairy to leave your system once you change your diet. I’ve read as little as 6 weeks but it could be longer. So don’t give up hope that diet change won’t work - sometimes it just takes time!!
You’re awesome!☺️
Listen to her, my mom felt the exact some thing with me, it turned out I had a weird rare cold (kinda) but my parents took care of me and I over came it.
Colleen you are the best mother Flynn could ever ask for
Watching this pulled at my heart. I just wanted to give you the biggest hug ever. You’re doing such a good job. You’re a fantastic mother. You’ll fix it. You’ll help him. You’ll get there. I love you so much. Keep going, you can do it
Colleen you are truly an amazing mommy. You inspire me so much 💜
Colleen, you are a great mom. You are strong.
I had my daughter December 22nd. She just recently started suffering from colic. I’m in the same boat mama. It’s so hard. Beyond hard and exhausting. We are trying everything too. That pain cry is the absolute worst and I cry a lot too blaming myself. I’m right there with you girl and I wish you guys the best!
My younger brother had colic and a chiropractor got rid of his gas almost instantly by massaging around his spine - it might not work for everyone but it's definitely worth a try ❤
I literally crying watching this and i hope and pray everything will get better for you
You are doing everything you can!!! You are doing great! My little one has just started crying kind of like that and I have cried multiple times. You are not alone!!!
Have you tested him for a breast milk allergy. That's what was wrong with one of my cousins that is why she was always crying. I love you Colleen we will always be there for you!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Isabella Perry I was going to comment the same thing, my cousin had that too and it took foreverrrr to figure it out
I’m a nursing student and although I’m a student this is exactly what it sounds like I would defiantly recommend him for this because it is defiantly painful for his GI tract
Wait wait wait.... kids can be allergic to breast milk?!?! I guess there’s a girl allergic to the sun so anything is possible but damn, never would have thought of that.
Amelia Rose yes actually babies can be allergic to the lactose in the breastmilk and end up being lactose intolerant
Omg I wonder that too?! Like if she used formula? Aye poor Colleen and Flynn!
I can only imagine how many tips/comments you are getting - we went through colic with my second daughter and tried EVERYTHING (Including a severe diet for myself). I finally figured out that it was an imbalance in my hind milk/foremilk. I wasn't producing enough fatty milk, so even though her diapers were full and she seemed to be getting enough, the balance was causing distress and leaving her hungry. We switched to an organic formula while I tried to adjust my breastmilk and she was happy over night. Seriously over night she started sleeping, was happy and gained weight. I hope you find what it is that is upsetting him and I wish you the very best of luck and love because I know how distressing it is. xo
Love you girl! You are doing great, motherhood is not easy but it makes you stronger and it’s so worth it. Sending prayers for no more tears💙
ur doing great! I hope things get much better!
Have you considered a MPA? Milk protein allergy? My daughter has that. Its heartbreaking. But once i figured it out and cut out dairy and she wasnt crying like she was in pain anymore. My daughter screamed at night. It broke my heart. She's much happier now without dairy.
She's already cut out dairy I believe! 😊
THIS!! It can still happen with breastfed babies, definitely worth checking out!
SavvyStardust I have that too. Im sensitive to casein (a protein in milk). I started showing symptoms 2 years ago, but didnt know the cause until a year ago. It sucks
My little brother had it when he was first born and we had no idea why he was crying and when we went to the pediatrician they said he might have a milk allergy so she recommend a special formula and he was totally fine after. Have no idea about breastfeeding though my mom was 38 when she had him and couldn't so I'd do more research.
SavvyStardust my daughter had the same thing and we discovered it around the same time, 8 weeks or so. Changed everything.
My daughter is 4 now and when she was born she had very bad acid reflux to the point where I was calling the doctor non stop. She eventually got better and is happy and healthy now. Stay strong, Mommy. You are doing everything right. Don’t be afraid to ask doctors questions. Don’t feel bad for crying. You are not failing. The first few months were so hard for us. I felt like I was doing everything wrong and I was going to mess everything up. Looking at my daughter today, seeing her thrive I realize that I did fine. She is happy and loved and that’s all they need every day.
Carissa St. Peter underrated comment here. i feel like this needs more attention and likes.
YES! I've commented a few times already on her other videos about reflux. I'm pretty sure this is the culprit. I hope she gets him checked out for that!!
I'm 11 and when I was like 8 or 9 I had an acid reflux attack!
I am sooooo sorry that this is happening to flin u are a really strong mother and I will be praying for flin to help him get better I feel really bad😭😭😭
My son had Silent Reflux. It was sooo hard! he cried so much! I am so sorry that you are going through this. It makes the first few months really rough and a blur. I promise you guys will see the light at the end of the tunnel. I have commented on your videos several times and saying thank you for sharing your honest journey of motherhood.I hope you find a solution and he gets better soon!
Do you think maybe it could be a milk allergy? Try going completely dairy free and see if that helps. If not he may need a hypoallergenic formula or something as much as I know stopping breast feeding would hurt your heart. Try asking a pediatrician about these and see what they say. Sending love and comfort for you all!
I think she already has stopped eating dairy. It was in another video.
Also, she said he mostly drinks breast milk which isn’t dairy.
Yes she has already tried cutting dairy and I think sugar as well. She’s probably tried so many things. I know it’s so heartbreaking and difficult.
I love all of you in this thread being so helpful and beautiful ❤️💗
@@garbageboy9164 do you understand how breast milk works? If the mother eats dairy, the child consumes that dairy though breast milk.
Have they tested for allergies, Colleen? My nieces son was born allergic to almost everything and it took a while to decipher all that he was allergic to. She eventually had to stop breast feeding and they had to make a very specific mix of organic things as a formula for him. MUCH LOVE to you hun!! You are helping him by being diligent in the search for what he needs. HUGS!
Colleen, I love it when you vlog & when you open up.
awwww seeing you cry and listening to you, i just wanna give you a big hug
when my son was born( he was a premie) he use to cry all the time and the doctors had no idea what was wrong, long story short, at 7 months we finally found out he had a double hernia. That was repaired and he never cried in pain again. Just something to look into.
Everyone like this so Colleen sees this
OMG! I hope everything becomes fine!Plz don't cry! Love you Colleen and Flynn!And Erik too!
ARTI WAGHELA what about Erik?!
Oh yaa I love him too!He is perfect!let me edit it
So proud u such a caring mum...just dont give up !!😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘
It’s very import for mother to cry actually!!!! Tears heal
But if Flynn sees her cry he will feel like crying more bcoz babies cannot see their parents crying
Your such a great mom!! Just give it time we love you!!!!❤️❤️❤️👍
You are doing amazing! ♥️ My aunt went through this with her first child. That was 10 years ago now and her daughter, my cousin is the sweetest, happiest, kindest little girl.
You are doing everything you can! You are helping him! You are amazing! And you’re gonna get him through it! ♥️♥️♥️
I think it would be good for you to go to a chiropractor because when baby's have colic they are very gassy and the fart can get stuck and that's very painful but the chiropractor can get rid of that
My daughter's acid reflux was helped by a chiro! Cutting dairy out of my diet was crucial too. I totally agree!
When I was little, I had colic too. What my mom would do was put a little blanket on top of the washing machine and lay me there. The movement of it would help get the gases out of my intestines and I would stop hurting. It’s not a permanent solution, but it stops it for a while. I hope this helps ❤️
Oh, that make so much sense, wow. Good problem solution there!
Yes, my friend also found out that those little vibrating massagers help on her son's back too.
My mom did this with my brother! He would scream for 24 hours... poor babies
My mom did the same exact thing to my brother!
This is a great idea!
I looove so you much Colleen! I’m so grateful for your vulnerability and honesty.
Whenever colleen cries it makes me so sad and then shes happy then I'm really happy
Please remember from another mom that even vloggers are usually posting their highlight reel. One thing I like about you is your willingness to be real about what being a mom is like for you, which, by the way, is different for EVERYONE. Trust your instincts, you are his mom. ❤️ I think seeking a second opinion is definitely a good idea. Please keep us updated, you've got a corner of the internet rooting for you and your little family!
You are doing EVERYTHING right. You are doing AMAZING. It will be ok...in time... But it will never be easy, babies are SO. HARD.
You. Got. This.
You poor thing you are a great mom and Flynn will be okay and you are gonna have a great life with him and so will him
you are such a caring and loving mom, and Eric as a father too. Sending much looove. You are doing the best ♥️
Honestly Colleen is in no way a bad mom. She’s such a great, kind, sensitive person and is one amazing mother figure. So proud of you Colleen! Hope Flynn gets better soon with a speedy recovery! ❤️😇
I agree! 👏
💯 aggree
Colleen, has anyone suggested Pyloric stenosis? It’s a condition that causes babies especially boys to spit up a lot. Like projectile spit up. But can cause babies to be very very colicky. It’s fixed with a simple surgery. Please look it up. When you said his cry was different like he was in pain and that he has reflux, this is the first thing I thought of. Praying for you mama. This mom thing is rough. You’re doing a great job by trusting your gut. ❤️
Also check into pediatric chiropractors. That has helped colicky babies.
Yes, please get this checked! My cousin had this and it needs to be taken seriously!
My brother had that. I'm too young to remember it, but my mom said it was horrible.
Yes, this! Most common in first born sons. My brother had it. Should be simple to identify once you know what you’re looking for and a relatively easy fix, considering.
My brother had that too. I really hope thats not what it is😔
Love this you have an amazing family don't worry and I hope Flynn gets better soon you're the best parents in the world just trust your Instincts and you will be fine stay confident love you soooooooooooo much x
you are a wonderful mother❤️sending all my love I hope everything gets better soon

One of my friends breastfeeds her babe with acid reflux - she had to cut out dairy, soy, and beef. I’m sure you’ve eliminated a lot, so just remember if you can’t breastfeed him that there is absolutely nothing wrong with formula if it helps him feel better. I struggled with weaning my daughter off of breast milk to formula/bottle. It broke my heart. Like I failed. But she did better with a bottle.
YOU ARE AN AMAZING MOMMY!!! You are doing and incredible job with your little human 💙💙💙
Thank you for posting stuff that is so real. It’s helps many moms out there. Even though some mom are annoying and think they know everything, for the other moms that go through this thank you so much for posting what you post
