Emotional Impact of Colic 2008-02-23 23:59:20 Cry, Cry, Cry
Six thirty p.m. is the witching hour at our house. That’s when each day, without fail, our two-month-old daughter begins mewling and wriggling as if prodded by an invisible poker. This state eventually escalates into a non-stop, brain-piercing, four-hour crying jag.
My husband and I pass her back and forth for an hour and [...] Read more:Emotional
Our Beginning 2008-02-13 15:37:51 I agreed to do a bit of writing for this blog over a month ago and I am finding that time is slipping past me at an increasing rate. Before I know it it’ll be January 2009 and I still won’t have a single posting on here!
The beginning of my story takes place over 3 [...]

Getting your baby to sleep without swaddling

crying babies and shaken baby syndrome 2008-01-22 23:20:07 I know it’s probably an obvious connection for most people, but when S. was newborn it never occurred to me (the link between SBS and colic/crying
). Of course now that I think about it, the connection is clear as day. There is nothing like the sound of a baby (YOUR baby) crying…especially when [...]

Coping with a Crying Baby: How to Calm Them (and Yourself) 2008-01-05 23:57:19 Original article can be found at
Anyone with a screaming baby who’s been told, “Just hang in there, in a couple of months things will get easier”, knows how ‘a couple of months’ can seem like an eternity. While it’s true that crying and fussiness peak at 6 weeks, and is generally considerably better by [...] Read more:Yourself

Calming a fussy baby the Karp Way 2007-12-11 22:47:05 I must admit, I was very skeptical about Harvey Karp’s book and his claims about being able to calm any baby. I had actually read portions of his ‘Happiest Toddler on the Block” book, and the idea of speaking to my (then) 18 month old in ‘toddler language’ - kind of like a caveman [...]
A very busy week! 2007-12-02 11:52:46 I haven’t had a chance to update the blog in a few days…it’s been a very busy week! There’s been a lot happening around our place.
1. S. turned one this week! I can hardly believe it. Exactly one year ago, we were starting to realize that our little baby was not [...]

area.
Here is a note about the classes from Helen:
“If you are having a new baby (or know someone who is, or already has one), this [...]
colic message board 2008-04-16 23:17:48 I know when we were really struggling with Sammy, I looked around online for a message board or forum where I could ask questions and get support from other parents. At the time, I couldn’t really find one, although I have since found this message board.
If you’re looking to talk to parents with older [...]
The Nitty Gritty Details of Infant Probiotics 2008-05-01 15:15:47 I’ve said many times before that I wish I had known about probiotics a year ago. Are they the miracle cure for colic? Probably not. But certainly the research that came out in early 2007 looks more promising than any I’ve seen yet (I’d link to the original research in the American Academy of Pedatrics [...] Read more:Gritty
