This is something I found online that was from an issue of Reflux Digest. We found it humerous since it is so true (you'll see a parallel to the "rule of threes" to diagnose colic).
Beth’s Rule of Sixes – completely unscientific
If you can answer yes to six of these, maybe it isn't "just" colic...
- Your baby cries six hours a day
- For six days a week
- It has been going on for over six weeks
- The neighbor six doors down can hear the screaming
- You tried six formulas or cut six foods from your diet if nursing
- You and your baby need six changes of clothes per day
- It takes six hours to feed six ounces
- Your baby never sleeps for more than 60 minutes at a time
- Your baby spits up six times after each bottle
- You keep wondering if you overlooked a 666 birthmark
- At the last six appointments doc said "colic" or "babies just cry"
- You dread driving anywhere more than six minutes away
- Your baby belches like a six year old
- Six hours alone with the baby is the max anybody can take
- You do six loads of laundry a week - just for you and the baby
- By six pm you want a 7 & 7
