"They say this is the best phase so enjoy it while it lasts. Those tiny hands and feet, those random laughs and funny expressions. I am going to miss this so much, he is growing up too fast. But let me tell you what I am not going to miss. Those sleepless nights, him crying for hours and being not able to comfort him and watching him in pain. This one is for all the moms with colicky babies. I feel you and I want to say that you're not alone. It was so overwhelming and it took me so much time to figure out what was wrong and I still couldn't take away the pain."

Ishita mentions why she opted for breastfeeding her child instead of other baby products

For the unversed, colic babies are those who are healthier but keeps crying for longer amount of time for no obvious reason. Thus, Ishita further shared switching exclusively to breastfeeding her baby as this was somehow preventing the pain from being caused. Ishita also shared that she tried various methods like tummy massages, holding him upright for at least 30 minutes post-feed, singing, and car rides to comfort her baby boy. Ishita said:

"This is what I did to comfort him, I switched to only breast milk. Held him close and walked around for hours till the pain passed, warm baths and tummy massages. Holding him upright for at least 30 mins post feed. Most nights he would sleep on me. And somehow, singing to him and car rides really relaxed him and helped him sleep. And of course, lots of love and patience as this can take time to settle. 5 months later as I look back, it all seems like a distant memory. There are still bad days but he is so much better. The crying has finally stopped and I can see him smile. To all the mommies, hang in there it is going to get better."

Ishita reveals when Vaayu stopped colicing

Ishita added another long note as she captioned her video by revealing the most challenging phase of her life with her little one. She mentioned rushing to the hospital at midnight as Vaayu's crying was overwhelming for her and Vatsal. Moreover, she said that when unsure, one needs to visit the doctor, which she did in Vaayu's case. Finally, after 3-4 months, it was when Vaayu's colic was finally getting better. Excerpts from Ishita's note:

"No denying it was a tough phase but it gets over making you and your little one stronger. I used to give him both top feed and Breast milk. I switched to only breastfeeding as the top feed was not suiting him. We tried a couple of brands and finally, at age 3 months he accepted the feed. There were lots of midnight hospital visits for first-time parents which can be scary but I always feel it’s better to be safe so if you are not sure just go to the doctor. At what age did it get better??? So for every child, it’s different but for Vaayu, around 12-14 weeks I could see his colic getting better. Even today he does have bad days but it’s so much better."
