An interview with Sheryl, mom of Landon, who was 10 weeks old at the time. (Sheryl and Landon shown in photo, right)
Wondertime: How old was Landon when he started acting colicky?
About a week and a half old.
Wondertime: And what were your experiences with your doctor like?
She was very sympathetic, very understanding, knew exactly what to do to test for it.
Wondertime: Does Landon have a pattern of crying, or is it an all-day thing?
He's really getting to that point right now where he's starting to outgrow it. But when he was having it, the majority of it was at night. But there were still several periods during the day where it would be hours at a time, just screaming.
Wondertime: Did you have him tested for allergies or reflux?
We did. They checked his stool quite often. He did have the blood in the stool, they said from a milk protein allergy, along with the colic. Then we had to go do a barium swallow.
