After a few days of having an upset tummy we finally took Kinley into the doctor to see if anything was going on other than just being fussy.
** Side Note: At the doctor they weighed her. 7 Weeks old - Weighing in at 11 lbs! **
Thank heaven it looks like everything is fine, she just has colic. :( Poor thing. (and poor us...) haha!
We were given a few different things to try for her.
- Gripe Water (Liquid herbs that makes it so she gets less gas bubbles in her tummy)
-An acid blocker
and
-Some soy milk formula
We tried the Gripe Water first. I didn't want to try the soy milk for fear of it working and finding out she was allergic to cow's milk.
As soon as I gave her the bottle with the Gripe Water, she calmed right down and I found her sleeping soundly for the first time in 3 days! I was SO happy!
I am SO glad she is feeling better!
Although I am not a huge fan and believer in herbs....Its true what they say......
Gripe Water = Liquid Gold!

Oh man, I'm so sorry! Wade was colic too and gripe water didn't work for him so we had to go to a special formula. I'm glad it worked for you! :)
Love the pics!
She is so cute. I love her. Evan had colic for three weeks. I would mix in some chamomile and fennel water (it's like gripe water) with his formula and he would sleep like a new baby.
Gotta love the gripe water! If you're nursing, you could try drinking some chammomile tea (super nasty- mix it with peppermint!) before her night feeding. It seemed to help settle our little one's tummy and make mommy nice and sleepy too. :) Good luck!
