Sucked, but it worked. I was able to add it back in before they were a year old without them reacting anymore.Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07781777966873779828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3741648456493119486.post-39283879608531236822011-09-12T17:37:02.833-05:002011-09-12T17:37:02.833-05:00Hmmm...I'm sure you've already talked to y...Hmmm...I'm sure you've already talked to your doc/lactation consultant/midwife about this? Just a few things off the top of my head (and take it for what it's worth - you know your sweet babe best!)<br />- acid reflux or gas trouble? Gas drops provide a little relief, but if it's greater, may need a 'script.<br />- If it is one of those two things, I found the football hold was great - putting him face down and your palm providing some gentle pressure to relieve the pain.<br />- Swaddle tight, tight, tight. <br />- Happiest Baby on the Block CD worked well w/ Mackie when she was a newborn as it simulated a lot of womb noises.<br />- Check your diet - he might be sensitive to something you're eating or drinking (too much caffeine - crazy!, cruciforous veggies, etc)<br />- Maybe he's not getting enough or too much to eat? <br />- Let him cry it out for 10-15 min just so you can get a good shower. It's tough but it'll do you both wonders - and teach him to try and get through it on his own without mama's touch.<br /><br />Like I said, take it for what it's worth! And hang in there. Lots of prayer, too! I remember praying with Mackie - and for myself with patience! You can do it!!<br /><br />- AmyMama on the Runhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15800521103250814247noreply@blogger.com
