Is almost 8 hours of non-stop crying and being fussy the rock bottom? Does it get better from this point on? Our osteopath did warn us that Max could get a little fussy after the treatment but this is beyond, way beyond, what I was prepared for.
Sometimes, I wonder if I have already met the "real" Max. He is such a different baby when he is not screaming and crying in pain. Today, he smiled and almost laughed at something silly that I have said and I was surprised that this is one side of him that I do not know of. It gave me such a boast and made my day more bearable. I do feel gulity being so frustrated and angry. This should be the time when I can enjoy being with my new-born child but up to now I do not have the feeling that I can "enjoy" him yet. There has rarely been a moment when he is awake and not crying (except when he is nursing). I wonder if it is the reflux and colic-ness or do we just have a difficult baby?
Time really does fly, Max is almost 7 weeks old and I am still looking forward to when things "get better". I do hope that we have reached rock bottom and things do get better soon.
