I'm Asking for It...

Yesterday was Charlie B's one month-ish check-up and we left there with a laundry list of {minor}problems.  I held it together in front of the doctor, but by the time that boy was locked into the car seat base...the tears were falling.  Not because I got life-shattering news, but because it was just all so overwhelming.  It kinda hit me all at once. So I had my moment, texted Nick, called mom {had another moment}, Nick called me back {had another moment}...okay so I had a series of moments...but then I figured I needed to stop being a baby since I have one that needs my care.

We left the doctor's office with the following:

1. Charlie B has colic. {Not the over-the-top-this-kid-is-OMG-constantly-crying kind of colic, but the I-am-going-to-be-fussy-can't-do-anything-to-console-me-or-make-me-happy-from-the-hours-of-9pm-to-12am-momma-really-needs-to-be-online-working kind of colic.}
2. Charlie B has a slight case of torticollis. {We were referred to physical therapy.} 
3. Charlie B has baby acne.  {I have to start washing his clothes in baby detergent and trying to prevent any perfumes or irritants from coming in contact with his skin.}
4. He needs vitamin drops since I am {mostly) nursing.

Now none of these things are a a big deal.  I realize that.  But when you feel as though you are already burning the wick from both ends {and not sleeping all that great} it makes you cry and wonder how you are going to get a 6 week old to PT while figuring out what to do with the other three maniacs toddlers. It just adds to our plate of craziness/blessings - new baby, 3 toddlers, middle schooler, house under contract, house no longer under contract, training and teaching for new job #1, training for new job #2, current job benefits office being a pain in neck, and now I have to wash the mounds of laundry in Dreft. Again, not that big of a deal...right?

So...this is where I'm asking for it...

I need your prayers and your advice.

• What helped your colicky baby?
• Any going dairy-free tips? {I've read dairy sensitivities can cause colic and a friend of mine swears by going dairy-free while nursing her little ones. I'm seriously considering it.}
• Any torticollis stories?

Ok...gotta go hold my sweet Charlie B. Tonight we will head out to gather supplies for tackling all of these little issues...and perhaps let the toddler trio play at "Chick-fwil-way."

Update:
Charlie B. is doing much better.  I appreciate all of your prayers and suggestions.  Here's what we have tried {and fingers crossed seems to have made things better}:

• Sent Poppie to Costco for the Free and Clear ALL - all kids clothes, blankets, burp clothes, etc. get washed in ALL.  {Nick still gets his Gain.} 
• No formula at all.  Zero. Zilch.  {I think this was the main culprit.}
• I have cut back on dairy but have not eliminated everything.  
• Found a pacifier that he will take for more than 2.5 seconds...MAM brand.

His skin has cleared up  and we haven't had the major fussy spells at night.  Just normal fussy. I do have to wake more at night to nurse, but I rather wake up to feed a hungry/happy baby than deal with the craziness of that poor inconsolable little man.

I have to be away from him for a large chunk of time tomorrow for a meeting so I will be pumping {why do I dread it so?} for the first time.  I suppose the kid has to eat...and I am sticking to my no formula guns for now. 

I also purchased the gripe water  - haven't opened it yet.  Seriously...he has been that much better.  He even has slept in his crib!  What what!

We aren't in sleep all night baby mode yet...but...I think I can at least remember there is a light at the end of this tunnel.
