Spanish term

ya me queda lejos

Non-PRO Spanish to English Other General / Conversation / Greetings / Letters Magazine article
I'm not sure whether the writer is referring to when he/she had to deal with a colic baby a long time ago or whether it's still far off.

Aunque afortunadamente a mí **ya me queda lejos**, sigo leyendo con interés las noticias que aparecen sobre el cólico del lactante: el bebé llora y grita durante al menos tres horas, tres días a la semana y más de tres meses.

it's now a distant memory

or 'I have little to do with it anymore'

This is my impression. A little more context would help, i.e. what the text is.
Note from asker:
Hi Simon, it's a short magazine text about colic in babies.
