Babies be cray.<\/p>\n

The Black Magic Culture of Infancy<\/h4>\n

It\u2019s just a fact. We all know that infants can\u2019t tell us what\u2019s bothering them and it can become an exhausting and frustrating guessing game of trying to figure out what your little guy needs. This game is worse for some parents\/babies than others. And all parents of a \u201ccolicky\u201d baby are nodding their heads. However, modern American society has sort-of embraced this culture of mystery (and parental helplessness) around infants. And I get it! Often times we never figure out what was keeping our baby up for so long at 3AM \u2026 but when that phase ends, we don\u2019t care! But this kind of thinking encourages parents to embrace the feeling of helplessness. Often you hear parents saying (or you have said!) \u201cI\u2019ll try anything!\u201d<\/p>\n

My sweet sweet nephew JJ certainly gave my brother and sister-in-law a rough go in his first few months. He\u2019s now outgrown his \u201ccolicky\u201d phase, but in the midst of it, I remember my brother saying: \u201cIf a witch doctor told me that smearing poop on my door and running around my house naked would help \u2026 I would be naked right now!\u201d Nasty mental image, but the point is clear!<\/p>\n

Gripe water is often viewed as just such a \u201cmagic potion\u201d that no one really understands. You even see this kind of language in the marketing! Well, I think parents deserve to know exactly why Gripe Water may help a baby. OR if Gripe Water doesn\u2019t work \u2013 what information does that give you about your baby There\u2019s a new thought! Either way, you should be able to get some useful knowledge about your angel if you understand exactly what you are giving her. The same goes for gas drops! So let\u2019s get into the differences and details so we can all start getting to know our special and unique infant\u2019s biology a little better.<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

This is a complete<\/strong><\/em> guide! It goes into a lot of detail because I think it\u2019s all important information. So prepare your inner information-junkie for a treat (and maybe go pour a glass of wine).<\/p>\n\n

I did a Happy Hour about this topic, so if you want to watch instead (and don\u2019t mind the distraction of my crazy babies), here\u2019s the video.<\/em><\/p>\n
