That's one funny thing I've noticed, actually. As a noun, it's colic, but as an adverb, it's typically spelled colicky. What the heck is that about?? The 'K' just comes out of nowhere!

Insist on using "colically" and see if it catches on.

Ask ZippyT how he might spell it, then adopt that spelling. :) It might look something like: kollickeynz*

I think the whole "colic" thing developed because folks were uncomfortable discussing things like "clearly the baby's sucking too much air when she's at your nipple, Mrs. Juju" in public settings.
Victorians didn't go for that. It's not "colic," it's gas ... throw her on your shoulder, rub and pat her back until she burps and then expels an extremely large quantity of warm vomit on your back, entirely missing the "burping pad". Cuddle her as much as you want. The "experts" who are bossing you around right about now probably have horrenous children who aren't allowed back to any restaurant that doesn't have a clown statue at the front door.

people do give the dumbest advice..... i had one person tell me not to change freddie's diaper till after she'd eaten. (mmmmmm... that's a comfortable way to partake.) someone else actually suggested that i should feed her in the bathtub, to improve cleanup. (which might have been more practical, come to think of it....)
people are dumb. but you spend more time around your child than even the doctors, and you should go with your gut. when freddie was a baby, she started having what looked like bloody diapers. this freaked me out, and the doctor told me that she needed her formula changed. i told her i didn't think that was it........... she ignored me. the next doctor ignored me, too. it turned out that she had rectal prolapses, which basically means that she was pooping out some of her intestines. so THEN i told the doc that there was something wrong with that piece that kept coming out...and they ignored me again. thanks to the marvels of a video recorder (and a baby video that she's NEVER gonna want to show at parties) i convinced them that she had a pollup the size of a jawbreaker. eventually, she did a self-pollupectomy (or however you spell that) and we went back to normal. the point of this long gross story: i knew. they didn't. don't let 'em tell you different, when you know.

gas drops... i'm telling you...try them. it's not medicine exactly, because you can use 'em whenever.

Kathy is afraid to give her gas drops, 'cause she sees it as medicine. I do have problems burping her, though. She screams like a banshee everytime I go to do it, and the entire time I'm doing it. So, I can either let her scream, or I can have her potentially vomit all over me. Life is full of tradeoffs, I guess. :)

Bloody diapers, batman! That's got to be terrifying. I'm sorry you had to go through that.
