The Blairmonster

Good grief is all I have to say.  Welcome to fuss-fest 2014 featuring Miss. Blair Ryan.  She is something else.  The good news is that my apartment is nicely vacuumed.  Vacuuming miraculously lulled her to sleep for a grand total of 10 minutes.  Another temporary fix was letting her play on the activity mat near my treadmill while I ran.  Again, I think she likes the sound and probably the vibrations it made on the floor.  This only lasted for a mile in a half, but still it was something.  My work out today was extremely fragmented; however, I still managed to work in a total of 8 miles which met my goal for the day and left me absolutely famished.  I'll tell you working out plus breast feeding will make you one hungry mungry!

I don't know if the Blairmonster fits the exact definition of colic:  3 hrs of crying, 3 days in a row, and 3 weeks in a row, but she is definitely blazing a path there.

I came across this lactobacillus probiotic article and I think I'm going to try it out:  http://www.jfponline.com/index.php?id=22143&tx_ttnews[tt_news]=178184  The only problem is that the company it recommends no longer exists.  I'm on a mission to find some sort of reputable brand in a liquid dropper form.  Will call her doctor's office tomorrow.

Two products that have been a godsend:



This paci is the only one that she will take, and definitely helps to sooth her during the day.  This was a free one given to us at the doctor's office.  I plan on picking up at least 10 more of these (preferably in more girly colors) the next time I go to Target.




This is the other miracle worker.  When the little woman is in a fit, she refuses to sit down.  The second I sit, she screams.  So what I've been doing is bouncing/walking around with her in here while popping that paci in her mouth.

The jury is still out to decide if this fussiness is colic or a growth spurt.  I have no idea.  Probably because I can't hear myself think....
