success! (and some about colic)

my girl has been 100% on the breast for 3 days now! (okay, save for one feeding from my sister by bottle while i was out of the house.)

however my girl has, for the last few weeks, been really upset and havign fits of crying.

could it be just normal crying? maybe, but my son didnt have it and it doesnt seem like this could possibly be normal.

for the last week no dairy.

starting tomorrow, NO caffeine, not even the recommended amount.

after that, if it doesnt work...i dunno what ill do.

im weird about colic.

ive always believed that colic isnt crying for NO reason, its crying for an UNKNOWN reason.

and im on a mission.

maybe its something i eat. maybe she wants to be held a certain way. or hear a certain noise. or ride in the car. or be swaddled a different way. or be sang to. or take a bath. or she is too hot. or maybe too cold.

i dont know.

im no doctor.

im no expert.

im just her mum.

and im so sad to see her so sad. matter o fact, it makes me so upset, i just cant believe there is NOTHING i can do. i HAVE to try.

:(

what worked for you and your little one?

tonight the only thing that got her to sleep was the car ride. and even then, once i hit a red light she'd jump awake and be sad panda. but after an hour of driving anda 1/4 of a tank of gas, i came home and fed her and she has been sleeping long enough for me to blog! so we'll see!
