Home Gym

Baby in the house, since Daddy is sanding and painting in the Baltimore house.  Miserable colic.  Hours of walking her to try to comfort her, listening to the gassy rumblings in her tummy.  If the carrying and walking and bouncing and rocking keep up long enough it will be better than a home gym for upper body development.

Appears to be a food allergy.  At least that's what green poop is supposed to mean.  Mommy is taking all the most probable culprits out of her diet:  milk and milk products, soy, beans, raw vegetables.  And all vegetables have to be what we consider overcooked.  Things like bread have to be carefully checked, because they, and many other things, use some component of milk in them.  Which really affects a huge part of our normal meals.  No pizza.  Bummer.

Odd thing is, considering that milk and soy are the top 2 in causing such problems, that baby formula is made with  either milk or soy, so not nursing isn't an option.

It's March 18 and this is the scene out the window this morning:

  1. BTDT; colic is no fun for anyone involved. I hope she gets over it quickly.

    1. You and me both. This would be a lot easier if I were retired.

    1. Guess we'll have to - they don't want to send her back for a quieter model.

  3. Have you tried Colic Drops from your local store or script strength from your Pedi? I also suggest trying Gripe Water. I'm not sure where the wife got it, but it helped sooth our little colic monster too.. Just a thought to help.

    1. Thanks - Yes, and they do help temporarily. She also seems to like the taste.

      Today we are holding our breaths - either the change in diet is working or we are getting a respite for some other reason.
