I am interested in this too. We are just entering into this world with my 3 year

old. Of course, I keep tracing it back and I can make a bit of a pattern. Of my

three kiddos, she was the only one who was at all colicky. She also started

behaviors that are arguably compulsive pretty early--like not being able to go

to sleep at night unless she had a binky in her mouth and one in each hand.

Granted, that could be a " normal " thing, but when I start to look backward, I do

wonder.

I'm just wondering if there is any kind of link between colicky babies and OCD.

My daughter was very colicky as a baby and I wonder now if she was having " bad

thoughts " even then and that's what caused the endless crying.

Not that it really matters now. Just wondering how many of you out there

experienced that.

I feel so bad for our kids and what they have to deal with sometimes. I wish

there was something I could do to make it all disappear.

My firstborn, who was diagnosed with Asperger's and ADHD first, had his OCD hit

when he was in 6th-grade. He was colicky when he was a baby. He had major

contamination fears and high anxiety level. (He is now almost 20 and rarely has

contamination fears and his anxiety level is extremely low to what it was.

 

My 11 year old daughter had her OCD hit in 3rd-grade and she was not colicky as

a baby. (In fact she was my wellest child ever!)

 

Wish I could give you more help as to the colic thing, but my daughter didn't

fit the profile with that.

In our case, my OCDer wasn't colicky. His twin was. And my oldest some too,

but mostly the one twin.

Interesting... my son had colic as a baby--lasted 9 months. My girlfriends

son had colic as well, and now at the age of 5, is showing OCD tendencies.

Extreme separation anxiety, won't sleep alone... has to follow his routine

to the T or he has a break down, extreme hoarder.. he won't even let her

throw away broken toys.

Curious if there is some relation since I always thought his colic was

really just his persistent personality coming through as an infant. He is 6

and when his OCD is flaring, he

cry's and throws tantrums and there is nothing we can do to calm him

down... just like when he was an infant.

Feel so sad for these kids, I can't imagine what it is like living inside

their head.

held, didnt want to sleep in his cot,only when craddled in arms, he found it

hard to go to sleep on his own for many years, just thinking this may hav been

signs of OCD, he didnt sleep through the night for years...............wonder if

there is a connection?

YES! My daughter did not sleep through the night for YEARS!! As an infant she

did not sleep for more than 20 mins at a time. Blood curdling constant screams.

Some days she would scream ALL DAY. Husband and I would take turns leaving the

house to get a break from the crying. Always walking on eggshells not to wake

her up. She would wake up crying until she was 3 1/2 years old before it

stopped.

I think there is a definite connection. Her separation anxiety started at 5

months and persisted until 3 1/2 as well. Never had a break in separation

anxiety like all the text books said would happen. It was constant.

Tired of hearing.. " It's just a phase " .. been hearing that her whole 4 1/2

years.
