Any tips for other SAHM's here ? .............................

this is a long one, but it saved my sanity. Its for colic.

burp bubbie every 50 mls or 3/4 mins if b/f.

I was told to think of their stomach as six parts. The first feed in the morning if one part wind, 5 parts milk. then the next feed is 2 parts wind and 4 parts milk. and so on, until at nighttime (where colic is at its worst :mad: ), its 5 parts wind and 1 part milk.

DD was up screaming until midnight everynight until I started this. Now she's happy at night, and in bed just before 9 (we're working our way to 7 :fingerscrossed: )
