Is it colic??

hi all. The past few days my 15week old son has been very unsettled and will only fall asleep if being rocked in my arms. I noticed yesterday that he was crying so much, that his legs went as red as babies do when they're having a huge scream. And he screamed like he was in pain. Are red legs a sign of colic cos im not too sure?

hello i dont know if you are still having colic problems but i got told to use fenal seeds and it worked well with my daughter. you get a tea spoon off seeds poor boiling water over them and then poor the greeny looking water into there bottle. i used to give it to her a hour before settling down time. hope this helps

Hi ya, i found the same with my daughter Aleeshsa. She was about 14 weeks old when she started it. She will for no reason start screaming and she will go bright red in the face and have her arms out and shake. No one can carm her down except me and i have to lie her on me and talk to her and rub her back. Not sure its colic as she has always suffered with it from the day i had her but I think its she just gets over tired and wont give in. She is now 20 weeks and does not do it as much.
