So, Cameron has colic and he gets very fussy at night. And lately there's only one thing we can do to settle him down--put him in his car seat and swing it around while we stand and watch TV or something. Not only that, he is also not wanting to sleep in his crib at nap time or night time--he'll wake up after 10 minutes and cry and the process will repeat itself several times until I just give up and put him in his car seat and then he'll sleep like an angel! Well, they say that car seats give babies flat heads, but if there's one thing I've learned about being a parent, it's that if it works, do it. It may not be ideal, but if it works, do it!

At least he sleeps, right? You may have to fight to get him to sleep in his crib when colic is gone, but then he will be a happier pup.
Poor little colic baby! ): How sad for you too Mindy. No fun, that's for sure. I've actually never heard that whole 'flat head' thing. He'll actually be okay with the crib sooner than you think. I was worried that Jack was going to have a hard time moving from our bed to his crib after we moved to our new place here in Maryland, but he actually loved it, so give it a few weeks if you must. Caleb didn't want to sleep in his bassinette either the first few weeks.
that picture of him is SO SOSO CUTE!
I'm so sorry he has colic! So sad! He is still dang cute, though! Let us know if you guys need to go on a date--we'd love to babysit!
He is growing and changing SO much. I can't wait to see him at the end of the month. Yes, when it comes to stuff like getting them to eat and to sleep we do what works, don't we!
Amy slept in the car seat a lot at that age.
