Does my baby have colic?

So for the past two weeks my 7 week old has been hard to settle at night around his bed time at 7pm up until about 10. i use the tommee tippee advanced anti colic bottles but they don’t seem to be helping. I’ve tired switching to dr browns but he won’t take to the teat as it’s different to the tommee tippee bottles. I’ve also tried the nuk perfect match bottles. I’m yet to try mam bottles and the Philip advent bottles. I’ve also been using infacol drops but I think they are making him worse. Please help I feel so bad. I just wanna help my boy. I also feel like it’s because I haven’t got a proper routine with him yet as he sleeps a lot in the morning

Welcome to the witching hour!!! You're not doing anything wrong and your baby doesn't have colic. Just settle in for a few weeks of crappy evenings! Get your dinners in advance, baby wear, soothers, walking outside in the stroller, sway, rock, swaddle, white noise, low stimulation. Grab a glass of wine and some noise canceling headphones...it'll pass soon enough!

@Molly thank you he also have 20 minute cat naps during this time is this normal?

@Kaitlyn its totally possible. They're little weirdos and all have strange behavior during the witching hour. Mine just screamed bloody murder and wanted to be on the boob the entire time. Her witching hour was also 11pm-1am 🤣

@Molly that’s brutal. His is 7 till about 11 12 ish

Probably because 7pm is also too early as a bedtime for a 7 week old. Also yes infacol made my boy a lot worse if it is colic don’t think any bottles are really anti colic either x

@Amy what time would you recommend for a bed time? He seems to only want to go to sleep at 12am

@Kaitlyn for this age between 10-11 x

@Amy thank you i have actually since changed his bed time to about 10 and he seems a lot happier with it x
