Right after she turned 5 weeks, we started having some serious issues with gas. Poor thing was just miserable! Worst feeling as a mom...So, thus began the process of eliminating foods, and trying to figure out how to help our sweet girl. By mid-week 7 it was at it's worst. I mentioned my attempt to get my hair done, and boy was that a huge fiasco. Between the over-stimulating surroundings and her gas, she was done! Screaming and crying. Big fat tears started falling...then mom started crying. Felt so helpless. During the week and a half of the unbearable gas my sweet baby girl did not enjoy being the in the burping position on my shoulder. For over 5 weeks I had loved the cuddle time of feeding her, burping her, then her falling asleep on my shoulder. Just some of those priceless moments of being mommy. I was super sad to see that phase come and go.
Fast forward to the end of week 7 were the dairy was leaving my system and the medicine we tried started working. The combination equals this...
Thankful for these precious moments! Huge reminder to not take advantage of these sweet moments. Like they say, the dishes can wait, the cleaning can go til later, laundry can get done tomorrow, but these moments with my sweet girl will be gone in a blink of an eye! Don't forget to cuddle while you can!
