The Infacol elephant is like the Absinthe Fairy for babies. Could this be the answer to all the questions we've been asking ourselves in the hours leading up to dawn? From the product website: "Colic is usually recognised by bouts of inconsolable crying, often for hours at a time, for no specific reason - i.e. your baby is not hungry, overtired, needs a nappy change or has a raised temperature." Inconsolable- that's the word I was probably looking for last night. Inconsolable, incessant, senseless screaming.

"Colic most commonly occurs in the late afternoon and evening when your baby may cry out in pain, draw her knees up to her chest and go red in the face. Her tummy may be swollen or bloated as if she's swallowed a lot of air, and she might pass wind more than usual."
Yes! Exactly. Well, almost exactly. More like straining to pass wind to the point of nearly passing out, but just about right. I haven't been this enthused about a health product since the two weeks between starting to take Airborne and looking into what it actually was. The NICU staff recommended this for him... If this works... wow. We'll be happy. Other than the standard screaming baby stuff, the week has been good. Grandparents visiting have been invaluable, we got him out for a walk when it wasn't raining, and he cracked the elusive 5 lb barrier (we weighed him with a kitchen scale and a cutting board, which was kind of funny).


I'm not quite done recalibrating my Team Moeckel Self Portrait Aim.
