[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 561279, member: 84"] My girls used the infant gas drops to help colic. I used an old method that in my opinion worked better. Tummy to tummy. Hold Meggie as if you're gonna nurse her, her bare tummy against your bare tummy (doesn't have to be bare, but works better.....just pull up your shirts) hold her firmly against you and beat her fanny in a steady fairly fast rhythm. The heat from your body will act like a heating pad for her tummy and help ease the pain and move the gas. Beating her fanny is soothing. It takes a while but it almost always works. If you aren't skin to skin it takes longer but also works. You and Meggie are getting to know each other. It takes a while. As for the tears/anger, sleep deprivation can do a number on you without you realizing it, also you're hormones are trying to settle back to normal. in my opinion this is a normal thing. And why I believe many native cultures (not just native american) were wise and let new mommies stay secluded with their babies for 4 - 6 wks after birth. Nursing is not really a good time to shoot for weight loss. You're keeping calories up to feed the baby properly, it's not going to help weight loss. As you and Meggie get more sleep, you'll both become more active and you'll see the difference. :) Hugs [/QUOTE]
