The second week and a horrible memory.... That is, colic.

Colic is such a word that I hate. I have never heard about the word and thought that it makes me crazy before being a father. Of course, our nurse talked about it before we came back home from the hospital, but I did not really pay attention to it because I thought my daughter would be healthy enough.

Our baby has been healthy since she was born, and now she does not get any pain for her stomach anymore, but colic had botheredmy baby for a while regardless of her health.

I and my wife were really upset when we observed our daughter's colic for the first time. According to my daughter's family doctor, colic is something that causes a baby cry for a couple of hours or more without any reason at night. Isn't it crazy? Normally, that does not cause any serious problem for a baby; however that does for their parents sometimes. Some lucky parents do not experience the horrible moment of colic
because not every infants get this.

Unfortunately, I and my wife were not lucky parents in terms of experienceing my daughter's colic. I do not remember the exact date of the night when my lovely daughter got colic, but I am sure that three of us were having a pretty good time at that night. All of a sudden, my daughter, Erin, started crying, and I thought she would stop very soon because babies cry whenever they want, but I was so naive. She seriously cried almost
straight three hours, and she finally stopped right before I decided to go to emergency. Since that time, Erin
had colic for about a week every night.

Of course, I and my wife became exhausted whenever she got colic; I do not want to remember the time never ever again, but it was a good experience for us because we are plannig to have our
second baby near in the future.
