I drank the wretched fennel and anise tea. She was MUCH calmer the last 2 nights - almost no crying.
I got a book today on colic etc. and it basically says that babies are colicky because they miss the womb. So, running the vacuum is VERY similar to the sounds they would hear inside - blood pumping, stomach digesting, etc.
The car works because not only does it also have a "hum" (White noise), but the jiggling motion resembles what they would feel in a watery womb when Mom is walking and moving around.
So Go figure.
I wrapped her up snuggly tonight, jiggled and shhhhhed when she fussed, and pouf. Crying stopped.
