Not really, but deep breathing helps. Crying is good for them. You know that. And I would always tell myself when it got bad that at least they're crying! Which means they're breathing. Then I would thank God and it seemed a little easier to deal with. There is also the sugar water trick. You'll have to ask her mom, of course, but mixing about a tablespoon of sugar in with a cup and a half of water or two (room temp is fine) and then using a dropper and giving her just a little at a time usually helps if it's her tummy that isn't feeling good. Cara and I both used that trick on more than one of ours. Settled them right down. Yours to use as you choose!! Then on to the diaper rash - my sister-in-law passed on a recipe for diaper rash cream that worked wonders. It's equal parts Desitin, Neosporin and anti-fungal cream. I was wary at first, so I asked our local pharmacist and they said it was perfectly fine and led me to the right anti-fungal cream. I first used it on Katie since Tyler wasn't ever in that situation and it worked almost immediately to get rid of the rash. It gave her comfort right away. I've used it on the little guys and have passed it on to whoever will listen. It's good stuff - especially when the OTC doesn't work. So there it is - advice not wanted or asked for, but given anyway. I hope something in here helps! Can't wait to see the pictures!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5091991553888306933.post-12089558502425524162008-09-03T09:27:00.000-05:002008-09-03T09:27:00.000-05:00favorite flower dandilion, because no body even th...favorite flower dandilion, because no body even thinks flower only weedPutzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08480109111920196513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5091991553888306933.post-35448074615041956732008-09-03T01:46:00.000-05:002008-09-03T01:46:00.000-05:00Shay sounds just like how my Kristin was!

After weeks and weeks of non-stop crying the doctor discovered she had a "kink in her hose"...a crimp in the lower intestine that caused severe pain when waste became blocked by either her holding it in or by foods that didn't induce regularity (many milk products do this)try lactose-free milk and apple juice to keep things moving right along...it is something they outgrow as the body cavity stretches, but I don't think you can wait that long...lol...if mom is still breastfeeding she too can monitor what she eats to benefit baby's tummy...hope your Labor Day was indeed restful and you got lots of lovin' from your grandbabies!Joni https://www.blogger.com/profile/01471677167011145245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5091991553888306933.post-89438268876801300182008-09-02T23:48:00.000-05:002008-09-02T23:48:00.000-05:00:) I hope your Labor Day was great!

What does she hear at home that she doesnt hear at your house? Do they have music playing for her at home??<BR/><BR/>Maybe she is just fussy, We tell people that if she is dry, and fed and not too cold or too hot then she just must be fussy. Not much we can do at that point. I used to sedate Bre with Dimetapp (shhhh) but I am sure you dont want to do that. LOLOLOLOL<BR/><BR/>Hang in there surrograte grandma, she will adjust. does she have something that belongs to mom that she can cuddle with?Tonjiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00355425625416597121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5091991553888306933.post-41464342619696839632008-09-01T20:25:00.000-05:002008-09-01T20:25:00.000-05:00Have you decided what to do about the baby?

Don't be too hard on yourself. <BR/><BR/>I saw eight grandkids on Saturday, and one today, otherwise it was a long, dry weekend! And now they'll be in school so will have to go to bed earlier at night. <BR/><BR/>We're going on a roadtrip as I just posted this evening. Maybe it will give me something more interesting to write about!<BR/><BR/>Take care..........MargeMargehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15398347951744910818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5091991553888306933.post-78569971413104191802008-09-01T15:26:00.000-05:002008-09-01T15:26:00.000-05:00Aren't you supposed to be retired lol.

I am sure it is not you. What does her momma think? Are you watching her again this week? <BR/><BR/>At least the time with your grandkids helped you get over it. Sounds like you had a wonderful time. <BR/><BR/>Hubby's cousins son goes to OSU. He got a band scholarship and seems to be doing really well.<BR/><BR/>How about them Sooners! 57-2. I just hope they can sustain it. They started out like this last year too and then lost the momentum.<BR/><BR/>I got a few photos of Anna posted today.

Don't go blaming yourself either!<BR/><BR/>Maybe you could get a P/T job working in a school somewhere or something to get you out of the house for a few hours in the a.m. LOL if you get my drift :)<BR/><BR/>Thinking of you always and Happy Labor Day to you too!Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18440751066438510282noreply@blogger.com
