Really, there's no way to avoid that observation. I was kind of hoping the screaming tomato look would ugly her up some. (boy can you feel the love?)

It did seem to help a bit. I think the ingredients vary, so check the labels. I avoided the ones with alcohol, but I wasn't going to be too picky about anything else--at that point I was trying everything! We used gripe water. It did seem to help a bit.

And remember, you miss me. :P Liz - Oi Vai! SIX MONTHS? EEekkk! Maggie - Thanks for the tip! I've heard of gripe water. Several people in the classes we took mentioned it for calming babies, but I'll have to look into it. I never trust anything that claims "natural" on the label without reading the ingredients. Actually come to think of it I never trust anything period. :P Hence Angel's comment on my researching skills.

I would imagine there's no way to understand colic until you have a baby that is virtually incosolable. I have heard that a lot of people swear by a liquid called Baby's Bliss - or - gripe water. It's all natural and can be purchased in health food stores. It may be worth a shot, as I'm sure the thought of another 1 1/2 months of colic is pretty daunting. Good luck! oh no… I would imagine there’s no way to understand colic until you have a baby that is virtually incosolable.

My son was colicky as well, and I wouldn't wish it on anyone. His lasted almost 6 months, and I am still recovering! (He'll be three in January.) I hope it doesn't last that long for you!

Would this be a good time to ask you about bringing your kid to a local middle school/junior high to reduce unwanted pregnancy rates? I think she'd be a great deterrent. And I mean that in the nicest way possible. Oh man; I’m sorry. :( At least your researching skills aren’t lagging.
