the best colic and gas remedy


this stuff works wonders. it stops GG's hiccups as soon as they start. i dare say this old natural medicine, gripe water, which my mom gave me and her mom gave her is way better than the more chemical based Mylicon drops sold for the same purpose. The version of gripe water I got from the organic market is sold by Baby's Bliss and doesn't have alcohol as the one my mom used to give me.

i am pretty sure the alcohol in that old remedy had a lil something to do with the power that remedy had to soothe the tiny tummy or at least knock out baby for an hour or too! LOL.

GG' been having rather painful gas pangs lately and i fear she may be a bit constipated. i'm hoping it will get better.

my plans are to massage her belly tonight when she wakes for her 3 AM liming session.

our twilight hang out sessions usually involves me holding her, sitting Indian-style on the bed.... the two of us looking at each other blankly oh and me praying i don't allow her to roll off my lap.

last night, while she lay happy and wide awake on my lap, i watched 80s r&b videos playing on VH1 Soul while combing through a small bin of old infant toys looking for ones that may be suitable for an almost 2 week old infant.
