As you say, it's painful for everyone. <BR/><BR/>I hope you're able to figure something out.

I've had two babies with acid reflux, which could be what you're dealing with. Our ped prescribed Zantac, which we gradually phased out once we introduced solids.LawSchoolMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04046765472582434708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552008288188142238.post-27456808487305854552007-08-26T13:17:00.000-05:002007-08-26T13:17:00.000-05:00I had the same thought pop into my head in the beg...I had the same thought pop into my head in the beginning, but only in the middle of the night and after a lot of sleep deprivation. (Thank God; I felt so awful for having the thought pop into my head at all.) It really made me realize how close to animals we still are. <BR/><BR/>We struggled to find a good formula and ended up with Nestle Good Start with b. lactis cultures (it's in the green can). It really improved matters for Eden. We also drop a couple of drops of mylicon into her bottles to break up any bubbles in the formula before she gets it. (We mix powdered formula with water, and it can be really bubbly.) <BR/><BR/>I feel your pain. It just sucks.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552008288188142238.post-32071476767687410732007-08-26T12:46:00.000-05:002007-08-26T12:46:00.000-05:00There, there.

The gas pains (colic?) will pass and so will your not so parental thoughts.<BR/><BR/>Have you tried a few sitz baths in the waking hours of one of his 2 really bad sessions?<BR/><BR/>Rubbing his belly in a circular, clockwise motion?<BR/><BR/>Are you formula feeding? Using expressed milk? It could be he doesn't like what's in the bottle..at least his tummy doesn't like it.<BR/><BR/>Sleep deprivation is bad enough but when you have a little one that needs you, lack of sleep is intolerable.<BR/><BR/>Please, please try to sleep when he does for now.<BR/><BR/>Good luck.VRKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17146592599940009911noreply@blogger.com
