The definition of dumb

... is not going right to sleep when your baby is down for the night. The Facebook time is so not worth it :(

Good night!

I wish my kiddo liked the moby

I bought my moby wrap during the pregnancy and was so sure I'll be one of those babywearing mommies who get to walk around with the their baby all day long.

Not so! Baby Milk hates the moby and would rather scream her head off than relax quietly om mommy's chest.

I managed to carry her peacefully in rhe wrap a grand total of 2 times... Oh well, gotta keep trying.

Best gift ever

My favorite thing right now is the baby bouncer!

I got this really cheap and simple bouncer as a gift, and it's such a lifesaver. It's the one thing that helps baby Milk poop in the morning with least discomfort.

Milk usually starts straining and grunting loudly in her sleep at 3-5 AM. I've tried everything from feeding to baby massage and nothing worked. The bouncer has been working consistently, though! Yay to easy poop!

Anal probing oops

The thing causing Milk most discomfort is gas. She'd strain and huff for a while and then will cry in frustration. Can't wait for the gassy period to be over!

So when she started crying really loud and desperate the other day, I, of course, blamed the usual suspect.

Belly massage, leg pumping and breastfeeding didn't help at all, so DH and I decided to try the thermometer method. We haven't taken her temp ever at that point.

This is how baby Milk got her first anal probing and it didn't even help!

Turns out the baby was just overtired. Parenting fail! Gentle leg massage and some rocking put her right to sleep.
