| Nope. I was asking what technique you used in the end, i.e. was it that your baby had bad cholic or was attention seeking because your husband was away a lot, and how did you eventually get it to stop crying?
For us, we did the following:
1) infant formula with (weak) fenel tea
2) flatulex
3) vigorous burping (babies, not us)
4) moderate leaving the baby to cry (my wife was soft and I'm an uncaring barsteward)
We noticed a lot of differences between our three children re how they drank their milk vs. much crying they did, i.e. in our case it was mostly wind related. | |

surely you will agree how forgetful we would be once you're parent
I barely remember how I get over it in immediate term but my previous post about the learning is pretty much what accumulated since then.
If I have to dig into my brain harder, the single most important thing come to my mind is "routine" which I get it very often in a lot of books too. Baby is creature of routine. Any disturbance to the routine is a big deal to baby. I tried to do thing in fixed schedule and fixed action e.g. even with friends visit, i insisted to put the kid to bed same time...etc so across time, I see my kids getting much calm and stable, and of course, less tears as a reward
