Thanks for all the advice. He's almost 3 months old and is crying for 2 - 3 hrs every night. But tonight was better - only crying for about 1/2 an hour. I've been using the Mylicon - it's great. I can tell his gassy cry and this one is different.
But hopefully (finger's crossed), tonight will start a trend of less crying. I've been letting him go at if after trying to soothe him. I hate doing it, but I agree that holding him when I'm stressed or angry is not a good idea either. It would help if I had someone to hand him off to - but if the hubby's at work, then it's just me. We haven't really made any decent friends here and I don't have any help. Sigh. Miss my sis (hi, Medusa99!)
I did try the skin-to-skin contact and he seems to like that. I've tried singing too and he responds to that fairly well. But sometimes he is just inconsolable. Thanks again for the suggestions.
