I don't even know where to begin explaining how bad it's been with my baby girl. Since she was born, she was colic and she stayed colic screaming ALL day long till she was about 7-8 months!! I suffered extremely a lot with her, always thinking there is something wrong with her and carrying her from doctors to doctors wondering if anything else is wrong, every single doctor ended up telling she is just colic and will grow out it. I honestly must cried so much because I didn't know what else to do to help her. In hopes that by the time she is 1 year old everything would be awesome and so much better, I just wanted that first birthday to get here. I honestly feel like I didn't even enjoy her first year before she cried most of it and I just tried to keep her calm and try to sooth her and try to have each day pass in hopes that the next one will be better. I had a lot of help from my dad who would come over during the day while my husband was at work and he would help and he suffered along with me. It's been such tough/rough year for me. She turned one and she did get out of the colic stage, but her temper and tantrums are seriously out of control. I'm so desperate and unhappy and I don't know know what to do anymore or how to handle it. I try my best every day and I still get plenty of help from my dad, but I'm here 24/7 with her and it's become sooooo difficult to handle. When she doesn't get something her way she will scream and cry and kick for hours if I let her.
The other day because we were in the car and she wanted to be taken out of the car seat she kicked and screamed and screamed and it terrifies me the way she screams and I finally gave in and took her out just in hopes that she would calm down and she didn't. She threw herself at me continuously and she screamed and kicked and as soon as my husband would pull over take her out of the car she would stop screaming, we put her back in the car to continue on our way and it's the same all over screaming, kicking. At home it's same if she gets tired and needs her nap she will cry/scream and will refuse to fall asleep in my arms or anywhere unless i take her out for a stroll and she falls asleep. She is 15 months now and it's been such a difficult time for me since she was born.
Me and my husband are under such stress, we do not have any time for each other at all, we are always dealing with her tantrums when my husband is home
Honestly there is no way to let her cry it out because she can go on crying for an hour without stopping and even when I'm trying to help her she is still doing the same. I don't know what else to do. I feel so hopeless like she'll never outgrow this.
I guess I'm just writing on here in hopes to hear some other moms tell me they been through it and it gets better??? I need some hope, stories, hope, hope, hope.
Will she ever outgrow this????
Even her own doctor has said he has not seen a kid with this much temper in a while and she is a special has with her tantrums. He tells me you gotta be tough and not give in to her wants, but honestly it's easier said than done when she cries till she throws up and not only does she cry she is throwing herself and i feel like all this crying is hurting her little body. I don't know what to do.I'm such a helpless mommy.
