My daughter had it so bad that my husband & I took shifts with her so we could sleep. She would fuss until 5am. Still doesn't seem to need much sleep, and she's 15.
Anyways, I found when solid food was introduced things got better. Whether this was just that she grew out of it or that formula wasn't enough to suppress her hunger I do not know. She was 4 or 5 months old before things improved. (I know I introduced solids way to early, but it worked. Long time complications? Never saw any in her.)
This was about when my sister (had daughter same time as I did) & I decided kids cry because the paint on the wall is bland. In other words, any reason will do. I do recall a time I threatened to kill the next person who in their good intentions told me my kid had "healthy lungs".
Thank goodness these times pass. And when I had my son 3 years later, there was no repeat episodes. He would sleep like an angel. Go figure.
