Levi's sleeping at night has been getting worse, not better. I know his tummy is bothering him. (This happened with all of our kids, but I think Levi has it the worst.) I've already noticed that it helps if I don't eat dairy, but Levi is still waking a lot at night in discomfort. Enter a wonderful invention called
gripe water. I think it has been around for a long time; it's a natural medicine-type water with ginger and fennel, and you give about a teaspoon of it to the baby. I did this last night with Levi's last feeding, and then he slept for 5.5 hours. The longest he had gone before was 3.5, so last night was great!
Gripe water is awesome!! We had to give that to Zoe when she was newborn too. Works wonders. :)
