I've been trying to post these photos for a week, but haven't been able to till today...some issue with the website.
Anyway, we made a trip to see Dr. H, Maddie's pediatrician, this morning due to some crying spells. She's been crying inconsolably, screaming till she's hoarse, weird eating patterns (6oz at one feeding, 2 at the next, sometimes eating every hour, sometimes every 4 hours). I've tried putting her in her swing, bouncy chair, sling, carrier, car seat, car rides, running the vacuum, swaddling her, rocking her, holding her, letting her lay there and cry it out (which is when the screaming begins)...nothing helps! Mylicon drops work some days and not others, and I figured it was just bad gas since she's fine after a nice tooting marathon. Thankfully, Dr. H didn't find anything wrong with her. She suggested that Maddie has colic (EEEK!) and to try switching to a soy formua which might help her digest her food a little easier. The poor baby grunts all day some days without any luck passing gas or poopin', then farts ALL night and has a couple 'Mother Load' bowel movements. After that she's happy as a clam! She weighed in at 11bls 4 oz (and I have the backache to prove it).
Other than that, all's well on the homefront.
