Filming the Cry: A Mom’s Eight-Month Colic Journey and Mental Health Battle
An influencer mom documents her newborn Ronan’s eight-month battle with colic, posting cries, soothing attempts, and the emotional toll on her and her family; viewers offer tips that helped at times (e.g., bouncing on an exercise ball) while experts note the link between colic and maternal mental health, including postpartum depression, which she experienced at three months postpartum; ultimately Ronan outgrew the colic and the family expanded with a second child who did not have colic.
