Angry Alice, cousin of Cranky Connor

Alice typically has fussy periods throughout the day, getting worse at night. Sometimes she cries so hard she makes choking sounds and gets hoarse. It’s really hard on Don and I, and it makes it hard to get any sleep. I average 3-4 hours a night (not all at once, of course), Don gets more cuz he could sleep through anything. I wake at the slightest peep from Alice. We’ve changed her formula back to the regular instead of iron fortified, and that seems to help. My sister Tammy had this same problem with one of the twins, Connor. Once she changed the formula he wasn’t so cranky and slept better. We hope Alice follows suit and starts sleeping more, apparently if a baby is “colicky” though it can take a few months. Oh, by the way, babies who are colicky are technically refered to as “active”. I’m so glad we have an “active” baby…
