Savior in a Bottle

We have found salvation in the age old remedy of Gripe Water. What a difference! It appears, thanks to the observations of my brilliant cousin Karlene, that Gabrielle eats so quickly and with such a vengeance that she is also inhaling so much air that even the world -record belcher could not force out. So, apart from keeping freezer packs on the source of the boob-food (not fun for mom!) we now place a few teeny tiny drops of gripe water on her little tongue as her little lips are smacking at me like a crocodile...and voila...no more gas pains! No more screaming...and we have a content little angel once again!
Sure, she has her moments of fussiness - she's a baby and if she didn't that wouldn't be normal...but we have alleviated some of her discomfort - and I feel much better as a mom!
More to come in the next day...I'm off to bed. It was a long long-weekend!
