Tummy Troubles

For the past few weeks, my little princess has been having some tummy troubles. She has been extremely gassy. At first, there was just a lot of grunting and gas passing, but more recently its been accompanied by the crankies. One night it was so bad that we had to let her sleep in her car seat so that she was sitting up (this night she slept for 6 hours straight, which was heaven!). I tried everything-bicycle legs, tummy rubs, burping every few minutes (or ounces), keeping her sitting up for an hour after eating (this was not happening in the overnight feedings though), and gas drops. Nothing seemed to be working. Cue online research-

I googled and spent a lot of time on Thebump.com and finally found something that I was interested in trying. This something was called gripe water. We found it at walmart and while it was not cheap (ten dollars a bottle), it has been THE solution! She has never been so happy! Last night, I gave it to her in a bottle after her last feeding and before she went to bed and she went right to sleep! It was great! And then today, shes napped like a champ, which hasnt happened in awhile and has resulted in her being completely overtired at night. Being overtired + gas pains=a severely fussy Savannah.

I'm so happy to have my happy baby back! And perfect timing too, because I've started babysitting two other kids during the day so I need for her to be happy during the day :)

Way to go princess! :)
