This picture just doesn't quite do it justice of how wonderfully peaceful and beautiful she looks sleeping! I had to take it with no flash so I wouldn't wake her! Anyway, we have been dealing with colic at our house the past 2 months. I have read and heard that it does go away at 3 months...I am waiting and praying it does. It is sooo incredibly hard to deal with. I have questioned just about everything. We started her on Zantac a few weeks ago for possible reflux...we weren't sure it was helping so last weekend we trialed stopping it. Needless to say she is back on it today and I do think she needs it. I am nursing and I question just about everything I eat and drink. I wonder if she would better off getting formula...but then some say it is worse on formula. Plus that is so expensive! I wonder if we should be bottling her instead (sometimes it seems like she swallows a lot of air nursing). I wonder if when we do start formula if we should have her on special formula (soy?). I don't know. I am just trying to make it through the next month and then we will probably switch to just bottles because I will go back to work. I plan to continue to pump, but she will also get some formula then too.
Also, night sleep. Allison was sleeping mostly through the night by 2 months already! She would get up just once at 2-3 a.m. to eat and then back to sleep until 7 or so. BUT she didn't go to bed until 10-11 p.m. Kara (usually) goes to bed by 9, but she gets up for sure 1x and sometimes 2x. I am WAITING for the night I wake up at 6 a.m. and she hasn't gotten up! I realize this is expecting a lot. I just need to have faith that she will eventually sleep all night!!! (PLEASE, PLEASE do it by 3 months....please! ;)
