Baby Has Reflux, Need Some Help!

[Guest nini]

Beth, that is hysterical! I read it to my dh and dd, and it reminds us of my daughter's infancy! Especially the wondering if you've overlooked a 666 birthmark!

Matilda....your post made me laugh. Alot of our neighbors don't have children, and I joke with dh that our kids probably scare them away from even trying! It seems like screams of some sort, whether in play or tantrums, are always coming from our house. I'm sure they wonder what the heck is going on.

You know though, as trying a time as we have had with Emmie and now Lucy, it is still SO worth it. They can be so much fun, and of course I wouldn't change a thing now! That being said, I thought I'd post this funny that I got in an e-mail today. I know the mommies of reflux babies will find this very amusing!

If you can answer yes to six of these, maybe it isn't "just" colic...

Your baby cries six hours a day

For six days a week

It has been going on for over six weeks

The neighbor six doors down can hear the screaming

You tried six formulas or cut six foods from your diet if nursing

You and your baby need six changes of clothes per day

It takes six hours to feed six ounces

Your baby never sleeps for more than 60 minutes at a time

Your baby spits up six times after each bottle

You keep wondering if you overlooked a 666 birthmark

At the last six appointments doc said "colic" or "babies just cry"

You dread driving anywhere more than six minutes away

Your baby belches like a six year old

Six hours alone with the baby is the max anybody can take

You do six loads of laundry a week - just for you and the baby

By six pm you want a 7&7

Wishing you a few minutes of peace and quiet,

Beth

Dear Beth,

I will remember this list for when I adopt! He he! Here is a story everyone will enjoy. A woman had just had her first baby. She spit up a lot. She had just seen the exorcist, and thought her baby was posessed! So, she took the child to the emergency room. Once she explained it to their preist, he laughed so hard he had to sit down! LOL! Hope you enjoyed this.

Sincerely,
