Comments on: Confession#1 : No More Colic! http://newsinglemama.com/506/confession1/ I am a single mother of a biracial baby boy just trying to make it on my own. This journey is hard, yet rewarding. Blogging is my therapy, these words are my heart, and people doing better and being inspired by what I have written is my passion and hope.

I'm pretty good at leaving him alone and zoning him out for a little while but since he's gotten older he will cry longer and harder than when he was a wee baby. He'd give up and fall asleep after 5 min, now he will cry as long as he needs to! It drives me crazy! I was just joking about the weed and cheeseburgers because I've quit both of them .. but when I'm stressed the idea of the comfort that the both of them bring sounds great lol.

Hang in there, it will get better i promise, but your right, I can't imgine how difficult it must be not having someone to give the baby to for a few minutes to get your head back together. All i can suggest is put him down in a safe place, and walk away from him to a different room for a few minutes. Letting him cry for a few minutes alone is far better than feeling like your going to lose the plot, and turing to drugs to help you feel in control. Oh the dreaded Colic.
