Take a bandsaw and put it in your bedroom. Set it up so it will run all on it's own from late afternoon and on through the night. It should activate at random points anywhere between one and four hours apart throughout the night, for not less than two minutes at a time. Average length of a run should be around fifteen minutes. Maximum time an hour or so.

When it's running, every second or so it will be randomly fed wood, with occasional bits of stone and metal for variety of sound.

It should be built so it has a sweet face, scrunched up in heart-breaking discomfort that you can do nothing about. Cuddling it may help it finish a run sooner, but may not.

This is your baby with colic.

Oh man! Colic!!! My sympathies, both for the bub and for you and Karen! I remember my nephews having terrible colic. I tried singing them to sleep once or twice, and it totally didn't work. Thankfully it didn't last more than a few weeks, I don't think. I can barely remember though, since those bastards are 13 and 15 now, respectively. They grow so freaking fast!!

Ooh. I just talked to my Mum, and apparently I had it too. She asked if Karen is drinking cow's milk? Apparently that doesn't help, but I'm not sure how that works. Okay - just checked the net - here I'll paste it:

Mums who breast feed and who include dairy products in their diet can also pass cow's milk proteins to their baby through their breast milk so don't automatically rule this out if you're breast feeding. However remember to find another source of calcium to replace the dairy you cut out, to ensure you are still getting sufficient calcium while breastfeeding.

Good luck!

While my children never had a bad dose of colic, there were a number of things I did learn to stay clear of as it would give them a touch of colic...dairy as a whole was okay, but there were a number of dairy foods that were problematic. I know chocolate was one of them. And onions. And garlic.
