I feel like a terrible mother. I can't handle this anymore. My son is 10 months old and is extremely clingy never sleeps and cries for the most part of the day. I can't go anywhere with him because he's so fussy. I take him to the doctor all the time being sure something is wrong, but nothing ever is. I would never hurt him, but I think about leaving him and my husband all the time and I love them both. My husband is incredible and my soul mate but I feel like I can't do this anymore. I'm not cut out for this. Please tell me how you stay? I should add that I'm a stay at home mother.

In addition to my 6wk old with colic I have a son who just turned one last week.....yeah its crazy. I am a working mom but because I knew I had to go back to work when he was 12weeks old I knew I had to get him on a strick schedule so I wouldn't kill myself when I went back. I totally suggest the book called 12hrs of sleep by 12weeks. Obviously ur baby is older but what is most Important is schedule....n a sleep routine. Try it! It cant hurt. Also it tought me that it will take a week to break every bad habit ive created. ....n it does mention that it will b a hard ass week to break the habits. ..mbut all worth it by the end if the week.
Dont give up...u got this mom thing u just need to iron it out n take control! Ur the boss!!!Not the baby! Keep us pposted. I dont think there r many people following these days on here but I check in every few days.
Being a mom is super tough n I wish my mom was still alive so I could thank her for all the sleepless nights...tears n selflessness she gave to me!

Look into the Wonder Weeks. I dunno if your 10 month old has good days, but my daughter was the same way and is still more fussy than others! I see other people and their babies and I'm just like, mine is never like that, she can not just chill, but thats just how she is. I felt the same way you did, about leaving and all that. I am a stay at home mom and it gets so much better once they can walk and play with things! I have a 15month old and I would take the annoying toddler temper tantrums than that colic crap ANYDAY! But while she will be great for a few weeks, she gets into these crazy fussy periods where I can't stand her anymore and I start wanting to rip my hair out. Clingy and won't let me set her down. It always corresponds with a wonder week, I swear that stuff is real/true and it helps me be prepared when she approaches these phases!

I just had my second baby girl 3 weeks ago and she is starting the colic pattern. I already did this with my first daughter and I told my husband if this one has colic I will leave. Some days I pack a bag, some days I even put my bag in the car. I know where I will go, how much money I will need and everything will be set. I don't know how I stay, I don't know what keeps me home but something does. As someone who has done this once before it will pass, it gets better and those babies who have colic are the most well behaved toddlers. Just take frequent breaks, drink coffee, hell smoke a cigarette or 5 just know that you can do it!!!
