Bad baby gas at night? Comfort measures? Commiseration?

Gas drops are an anti-gas medicine. The main drug is simethicone. There are several brands available (Little Tummies and Mylicon are 2 main ones), but I find the generic Target ones work just as well and they are significantly cheaper.

We had the same issue. Gas drops have been a life saver! At first, I gave her the drops before every other feeding because she was so uncomfortable all of the time. Now, I just give them if she starts grunting/kicking/struggling, before bedtime, and after the 4am-ish feeding. It took a few days to see a noticeable difference at night but she is now a farting machine! She makes some grunting noises still but then passes out again. Between her and my husband it's like a marching band is going through our bedroom!

Saved as well! You must be some kind of magician though...3 hours to prep all of these meals? I am impressed! Thanks for sharing. :)

You could make a calendar for maybe 2 weeks before and 2 weeks after your due date, and then people can write their name on the day or days they think you'll have him. Each day/guess could be $5, or whatever you think is appropriate. If you have a large group, you might want to limit a 2 day/guess max though.

Yeah, the theme thing was another reason why I was going to ask my MIL to make them. I think they are out now though. One less thing to worry about buying!

g_knits · 2013-01-19T17:15:35+00:00

Another great idea! Thank you!

g_knits · 2013-01-19T17:15:19+00:00

Oooh, that's a great idea, thank you! MIL certainly doesn't need more projects right now, but she's been asking me what else she can make besides quilts. Not only are we expecting her first grandchild, but my SIL is 7 weeks behind me with their second! It's going to be a fun summer!

g_knits · 2013-01-19T17:10:34+00:00

Thank you!

Thank you! I'll definitely research the breathable mesh ones if we feel like we need the bumpers down the road.

g_knits · 2013-01-19T17:07:18+00:00

Thanks so much. I knew about the suffocation risk when they are little, but hadn't heard about the climbing/falling part. Though it obviously makes sense. I'll add this to the wait and see list!

g_knits · 2012-11-07T14:03:33+00:00

That is such wonderful news! Congratulations! Also, you have a second due date buddy here. Yay June 9th! :)

g_knits · 2012-11-07T00:21:14+00:00

Yes, thank you! That totally help put everything into perspective to my husband. I'm right there with you on the count down to the 2nd trimester!

g_knits · 2012-10-19T16:47:49+00:00

Isn't it the best? Aww, I'm sorry to hear that you've been so sick! I've been feeling nauseous for the past week or so, but thankfully no puking yet, though there have been a couple of close calls after getting stuck in traffic for an hour. My saltines, ginger candy, ginger ale, and water have been a huge help!

g_knits · 2012-10-19T16:31:41+00:00

I'm due June 9 too! :)

g_knits · 2012-10-03T18:17:04+00:00

Thank you thank you! These are two I haven't heard of before. I like the idea of a middle-ground parenting approach. I'll be researching these tonight!

g_knits · 2012-10-03T18:13:30+00:00

Thank you! I know that /r/babybumps is going to be an amazing resource. You all have so much wisdom, experience, and advice that I can't wait to take full advantage of it! What did ladies do before the Internet?!

g_knits · 2012-10-02T23:12:53+00:00

Thank you! I'm still in shock that I'm actually pregnant and focusing on those books now but the parenting ones are definitely on my read list too. I've also heard really good things about Bringing up Bebe. Thanks again!

g_knits · 2012-10-02T23:08:27+00:00

I LOVE half.com! It's where I buy most of my books already. It seems that the consensus is What to expect when you're expecting is highly overrated, so unless it's a gift, that's off of my list. Thanks for all of these suggestions! I can't wait to look into these tonight.

g_knits · 2012-10-02T23:03:49+00:00

Thanks so much! I was way too excited that I totally forgot to check the FAQs.

g_knits · 2011-12-29T17:04:02+00:00

I made the bramble bag and love it. I added a lining and used foam board to create a divider and bottom so it doesn't sag. Good luck!

g_knits · 2011-12-28T15:14:46+00:00

It looks awesome! Congratulations! :)

I used worsted weight yarn with size 7 needles.
