Colic Time

Little Miss has colic. I feel like I shouldn't complain because I know some babies out there have it way worse than Little Miss. With a combination of gripe water, a flax seed lavender bag and Vick's baby rub I am able to combat the colic... a little. The last few nights during her normal 6-11pm colic time she has been pleasant. Today during her normal colic time she was in her swing watching little Monster running back and forth. She was giggling watching him and it was amazing. I couldn't believe that my baby girl who was normally a beast around that time was so happy. Giggling!! D and I tried not to talk about it. I think both of us feared she would turn into a fussy mess. But nope. The rest on the evening went on pleasantly. Then we went to bed and D fell asleep while I tried homework. 11 o'clock came and she started crying. She had just eaten, but being near my breast seemed to comfort her so I let her eat again. When she was done I burped her and laid her down in the co-sleeper. She started crying! BLERG!. So I used the trusty combination of gripe water, the rub and her bag. She is now soundly sleeping. I don't know which of those is actually effective, maybe it's a little of each. All I know is I'm not willing to stop any of those to find out. It'll be our little routine. Hopefully she outgrows it soon, Monster was never this bad. It really is true that every baby is different.
