Miracle Water

Our sweet baby has had a difficult start to her week. I have suspected for a while that she has issues with reflux but her symptoms have been manageable. Well, that all ended on Monday. She was incredibly fussy all day Monday and wouldn't nap for very long. By the end of the day, she was having inconsolable crying jags. She cried hysterically off and on from 10pm - 1 am and didn't sleep well after that. It continued through Tuesday while I did some research. Several other moms posted on some websites that they had used Gripe Water for their child's reflux so I sent Tim the information and he volunteered to go and get it after work. When he got home, Claire was crying pretty hard so we went ahead and gave her some. Within 15 minutes, she was calm and happy and she did well for the rest of the night and she's had a great day today. Here's proof:


Tim also bought a wedge pillow for her crib so that she isn't sleeping flat on her back. I'm not sure yet if this is going to help. She's such a squirmy baby that I keep finding her at the bottom of the pillow.
