Eating like a piggy + Gas Pains = 1 Not Very Happy Baby...

Colic...now that word will scare most new parents...but did you know what the official definition of it is according to most physicians...

"An otherwise healthy infant who cries during the first three months of life for three or more hours a day on three or more days a week."

Now understand it isn't that bad, but when any baby is screaming for longer than 2 minutes, and you can't calm them down, then those 2 minutes seem like 2 hours.

There are many suggestions including massage, peddling the legs, slowing the feedings down, changing to a soy based formula, and changing the bottles themselves...but right now I've only used it twice and it seemed to work alright...Gripe Water...a little bit of sodium bicarbonate mixed with some soothing extras and it is suppose to help with gas...and before someone gets in a huff and says that some contain alcohol, the one we are using does not...

So I'm back to work, Lian is at home and I am trying my hardest to get Lian to lie down and get some sleep...of course being a new Mother every little movement and breath is a cause for concern...hopefully tonight goes better, I've got the next two days off so here's to getting my girls to bed for some sleep...
