Back in The Swing of Things...
I cannot believe how time flies - and all you can do is grab on to Its coat tails and go for the ride! Little man is almost 2 months old and has increased his birth weight by 50%! He is doing exactly what he is supposed to do - eat, poop, sleep - and he does it well apparently. He is more alert - and if I can be genderist - he is already a true man - all he does all day is grunt and fart 
.
For Colic/Stomach discomfort - There is a great chinese herbal tincture by blue poppy which is for kids (glycerine based) called Quiet Nites and is based on a popular "Food Stagnation" formula called Bao He Wan - I have used this - 1/2 a dropperful - when he seems uncomfortable - grunting away working on a b.m. and it really seems to help.
Little Man seems to not appreciate caffeine - coffee/chocolate/ etc seems to upset his stomach when imbibed through breastmilk. The girls are adjusting - My eldest, turned 10 is an amazing helper and my almost 5 year old who "loves her brother!!!!" is going through the typical regression - talking like a baby and wanting to be the baby - good times. Too bad Patience isn't patented in a pill - I would buy some!
I am back to work and while I seem to be helping my patients/clients - I am the first to admit to them/the world/anyone who will listen - that my brain is running on 70% - luckily, that seems to be enough. However, I am looking forward to the day when I have a full night's sleep - or at least a 6 hour block - and my cognition improves.
Anyone enjoying "baby brain" out there? Astragalus (Huang Qi) seems to help a bit!
