Bec - ahh tummy pains are so hard to help them with.... in addition to the methods you tried, I also lay Hannah across my forearm. Her head is near my elbow, her feet near my hand, she sometimes lies completely on her tummy on my arm and others sort of on her side. It also means if she spits up it just goes on the floor. I try it along with all the ones you mentioned and hopefully each one helps work the wind out til it doesn't hurt. If Hannah is really desperately unsettled then I give her another bath and if she has that inconsolable angry pain cry I give her some panadol. Mind you have only given panadol once in those circumstances, and it was after about an hour of that sort of crying.
Hope tonight is a better night for you both. And awesome about the giggle. Too cute by far. I love it when H giggles and so does she - she seems just so pleased with herself.
I took a leaf from your book last night. Hannah was restless in her sleep and woke up at 10pm, 2 hours after I got her to sleep. So I brought her into bed with me and gave her a BF lying down and we both went to sleep until DH came home from work. Then DH put us both to bed ( me on my side and H in her bassinette beside me).
I think Hannah is not far away from starting to roll. She eeked one out yesterday after about 20 mins of effort - poor kid. I saw her trying before when she was supposed to be sleeping but she's in the land of nod now, so no more attempts til later.
