Neuri - I know that Colby has wind when she has a high pitched scream in her cry. She also wants to be constantly held and if you put her down she screams big time and gets hysterical. I know straight away thats its wind when i hear her cry like this. I tend to just keep feeding her to try and bring up the wind or just constantly pat her back to try and bring it up. These are the only 2 ways i can stop her from crying.
I found that it took a while to understand babies cries. But after having Briley i kinda picked up on it straight away. You will get the hang of it soon. And then you will be able to tell if Willa has wind, a dirty nappy, is hungry or just wants some attention. Its an amazing skill to have i think!
Colby went to bed at around 9.30pm lastnight in our bed. Brent and her were laying there face to face and she just crashed! She woke up for 2 feeds though. One at 2.30am and then again at 4.00am. She slept pretty much the whole day yesterday so i was suprised she went down so early. Maybe a growth spurt???
Well today will be the tell all if it is the potato that is giving Colby wind. We had mash potato with our dinner last night. I am still a little unsure as to wether its just potoato or baked potato's. We'll find out today i guess. I hate having to take the risk of giving her wind but i really need to know as potato is a LARGE part of our diet.
We are going to head into my mums for the day i think. I did'nt want to go into town until either tomorrow or friday but if i go in today i don't have to! I live 40k's out of town so i try to make the town visits once a weeks only. Plus its really hard with 2 littlies.
Neuri, it still amazes me that all the bubs do similar things, but as you said they are all similar ages, we should expect it. I too am struggling with the cry's All I know is if I've done everything he must be tired!! Although if I then try to put him down and he screams bloody murder, then he has wind still.
Sara, let us know how you go with the potato. So far I think I've eaten most of the list of windy things that neuri listed except cabbage, yuck! And I certainly go to town on the potato. Although I have decided to limit my dairy, and have supplemented a little soy milk into my diet.
Yay for us we had a nice 7 hour stint again last night, a few more and I might start believing it's a keeper. then we just have to start working on the 8 hours. Although I know I will just be getting my sleep back and feeling good and the teeth will start coming in, what's a mummy to do?
