The witching hours have now spread into the witching afternoon. Really? A few hours in the evening were expected with Max, yet all afternoon into the evening is almost unbearable with Charlie. I have no idea what to do for him anymore - all I can do is hold him, shhhhhh til I am hoarse, bare the back pain, and pray for a better afternoon the next day.
I am trying those drop things for gas in babies. I am not sure what I am supposed to see - I am guessing less crying and more farting? Anyone know?
Pray for me!

hang in there:):):):)
ReplyDeletemy suggestions would be to try the wrap again. i would try that and put him BETWEEN the fabric and with his SIDE against you, not his stomach.
and when you are holding him and he is screaming, change his position to see if it helps his stomach. it may only quiet him for a couple minutes before you have to change again, but at least it will give a couple minutes of peace:):)
- over your shoulder holding him under his bum
- over your shoulder holding him across his back, so his legs (and stomach) hang 'loose'
- head in crook of arm with him facing down
- head in crook of arm with him facing up
- back against your chest so he is facing out, holding him under his bum so he is kind of 'sitting'
-back against your chest so he is facing out, holding him across his chest, so his legs and stomach hang 'loose'
love youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu:)
