goslingI *can't* get sick. I can't. I can't. The baby needs me. Chip is still sick, but he *has* to go to work Monday.
The baby is up screaming all night, every night. He's totally digestively not coping, and the only position that doesn't hurt him seems to be completely upright. And so far I can't figure out how to sleep while holding him that way.
(He also completely flung himself out of Chip's arms, and I still don't know how Chip managed to catch him, so, as at this point my wrists have given out and keep shaking, I pretty much only dare hold him on the bed or somewhere else where if I couldn't hold on to him he'd be ok.)
I can't get sick. My whole body aches, but I *can't* get sick.

Not Sure If You Want More of My Advice, But...
Date: 2005-01-30 12:22 am (UTC)1. Simethicone (sp?) drops.
2. Homeopathic colic drops.
3. A sit-up baby seat and a dryer. Turn on dryer. Strap baby in seat and place on dryer.
4. Elimination diet for you: try getting rid of legumes, cruciferous veggies, chocolate, dairy if all else fails.
5. Play "bicycle" with baby: moving his little legs around makes him less gassy.

Date: 2005-01-30 02:05 am (UTC)I have been eating a lot of dairy, but I was eating at least as much before the problem started. (I just finished a course of antibiotics for my infected incision, so I was eating a lot of yogurt. If I'm very lucky, the antibiotics were the problem, but that's unlikely, as I was on them for ten days, and this has just started to be a problem in the last few days.)
