Just wondering if this is a safe site to play the name game

My name is Monty and I have 2 boys (ages 5 & 4). The 4yr old was colicky from 1 month until 1 year. My wife and I started The Colic Shop when we realized that there were only single product websites to treat colic (back then there were only a couple brands of gripe water and other products). We started the business after the year of colic was over. To top it all off, my wife herniated a disc in her back during the last month of pregnancy with our colicky boy. So right when the baby got colicky, she had to have surgery to repair the disc. Her back is mostly ok now. We personally used Baby's Bliss Gripe Water, swaddling blankets, Nutramigen formula and the vacuum CD that we sell on our site. After everything settled down we also started this forum. Today I am very upset and sad about the old forum being hacked and destroyed. Thanks for helping to get this one up and running!

Well, anyone from the old forum will know me, I'm Pam, my baby girl is Abby and she is 7 months old (colicky from 3 weeks until 4 1/2 months). She is a handful now! I am 29yrs old and have 5 beautiful, screaming, loud girls! Abby, thankfully, is our last. Thank you for working so hard at getting this site back up. Like I said in the post earlier, there are a lot of people who depend on this site for support, not just for colic, but for everyday stuff, so it is very sad that this happened. But we hope you can get it back to where it was, if not, atleast we are here!! I hope everyone finds us again...

My name is Kari, I'm 26 and my son is Levi. He is 4.5 months old, and was colicky starting at 1 week. He is no longer colicky, but is a very challenging baby!!

It sure does seem that way! He is actually recovering from bronchiolitis and then an ear infection It was soo scary!! He's still on the breathing treatments (Pam, I remember reading you are a respiratory therapist) and he's been more irritable than usual...I think it's the albuterol. So he's been even a bigger handful than usual, but he's all mine and I love him

Yeah, the albuterol will increase the heart rate and make him jittery. How many times a day are you having to give them to him? Are you doing any kind of chest physiotherapy (clapping on the back to break up the mucous)? How long are they going to have him on the tx's? Just curious.

My name is Maureen and I'm 31. My daughter Georgia is 7 weeks old. I just found this site about 2 weeks ago and what a relief it has been to read stories from other parents that know what I'm going through. Georgia has had colic since she was 2 weeks old and I thought I would lose my mind. However, for some reason, she has been much better the past 4 days or so (a miracle), but is still probably much fussier than the average baby. I'm not holding my breath as I'm not sure it will last, but I'll take what I can get!

Ok, I'll just copy and paste from what I just posted in the old forum....
I'm Jenn, 27 y/o, and my little sweetheart is David. He turned 5 months last Saturday. We're in Texas. He's actually been "over" the colic for a couple months, I guess. He's mostly great now but still a very active and high needs baby.

Dude, seriously, what sort of tiny-thingyed losers would hack into a colic support website? What, was the Department of Defense too hard to crack? LOL! What a bunch of geeks! God, I hate hackers. They're taking up space where a completely wonderful parking lot or landfill could be.
I'm Rebecca, 37, and my son is Gavin. Gavin will be 8 months old (6 mos. adjusted) on Dec. 6th. We, too, are finally over the colic. Free at last, free at last!
