ZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Remember how I was saying that Fiona was pretty good at night, just waking up to nurse and going back to sleep? Yeah, that ended about a week ago. For some reason now she’s fussy between about 10 or so until around 1 or 2am. It’s not as bad as colic (Pink Pixie was a colicky baby, I know all about that), she just fusses off and on, not sleeping and not able to decide if she wants to nurse or not. Unfortunately for Squid, two days a week he has to get up at 2am to be at work at 3. Last night was rough — about the time Fiona got settled, Monkey Boy started crying and calling for Mommy. He has this weird ailment — his feet hurt at night. Not every night, just once or twice every couple of weeks. They’re fine all day. Anyway, Squid didn’t sleep much and I didn’t sleep much more. Because at 7am Fiona didn’t really wake up, but she was having some, erm, gastrointestinal issues which were evidenced by very loud grunting and groaning until she woke up around 9am. Hopefully she’ll take a good nap this afternoon or it’s going to be a very long day.
I’m not complaining — I love this baby and the chance to do this all one more time. But I’m just a little on the sleepy side today!

Her digestive system may still be reacting to your diet to a lesser degree than colic. Track what you consume for a day and compare it to various colic lists on-line. One of the things that bothered Emma was when Andrea ate green beans (which is something I would never have thought of).

After feeding, or anytime
try a covered heating pad on low on your chest/ shoulder
have baby on tummy while you have the baby over your shoulder
and rub and pat it’s back.
in a rocker glider near a wall outlet. :o)
Micheal Card has some great music CD’s that babies love.
hope this helps

Thanks for the tips! I am currently trying dairy elimination, I am told that is often a fussy trigger. Of course, if you read the next post, you know I pulled a bonehead move with the beans. But I didn’t eat any dairy!!! LOL. Ya win some, ya lose some.
