the father's drug habit is adversely affecting everyone including him. his drug use is not causing the colic or crying spells so the baby should be examined by the pediatrician. incidentally colic -- if this is what is causing the crying -- improves at age three months so there may be brighter days soon. the drug use is a more serious problem. it is difficult enough to care for a baby but when one parent is impaired it can be next to impossible. the three month old will most likely get better but with drug use it can only get worse; perhaps to the point where the baby no longer has a father.
if a father is taking drugs will the newborn have colicy or other problems? . the baby is 3 months old and has many bouts of crying etc. through out most every day. could the father's drug habit have affected the baby?
