Hi Gontan,dont worry to much since u know whats the cause n check to PD.
js continue the med.u'll see the result.
my baby is worse then urs.colic since day 4 after went back from hospital.
gave him jin feng san (from Eu Yan Seng) 1/3 btl then he sleep longer than usual till i think it has sleeping med.
agree with others,it depends on u whether u wanu give chinese med/not.
for me,my mom v kiasu till we stop the colic drop from PD.cz she didnt see that the med working.
actually the med (PD gave Ridwind) works slowly.
but we're v panic cz my baby alw start to cry since 4 or 5 pm till nite abt 8 or 9 pm everyday.
then it can be happened at midnite too.
u can imagine it happened on my 1st baby (i've no experiance at all) n during my confinement.
very stressfull.
in the end we combine the ridwind with jin feng san.ridwind 3x/day n jin feng san 2x/day.
till he gets better,we js continue with ridwind.
lucky it only last for 1.5 month.
after that everything ok n till now my baby is healty.
abt baby sleeping pattern,i think its normal.
sometimes baby can sleep for shorter period or longer.
as i told earlier that my mom is v kiasu,she alw wanu feed my baby when he sleep longer.
she thought baby too sleepy n later can fall sick if not eat.
but its not true.baby will cry if he's hungry.
let the baby sleep n u can feed him when he woke up.
try to sleep when ur baby sleep,thats my motto.
dont panic when baby cry cz he can feel it.
when he cry,i alw carry him in stand up position (like wanu burp him).its comfort him a bit.
cz the more he cry,the more wind go into his stomach.
hope it help u.
