So as you know, Addie has had some severe stomach issues, resulting in tons of crying, fussing, and screaming. Well early last week, my friend Brittany commented on my blog and told me to try calling La Leche, the nursing hot line. So that night I called and they asked me a ton of questions and then gave me a few suggestions. They told me to try a technique called block nursing where you nurse on one side for a few feedings then switch to the other side so that the baby gets a lot of hind milk rather than the letdown milk. She also suggested I eat a lot of yogurt because it has good digestive enzymes in it that will be passed on to Addie. So that night I started the block nursing and by the next day I could already tell that it was working. I bought a ton of the drinkable yogurt and drink it every day, and Addie is 100% back to herself! She now is napping a lot during the day and is going down earlier at night and sleeping well. She rarely has a screaming spell now and is so happy again! I had prayed and prayed for an answer to help Addie because the doctors were no help and I knew she needed something and this was the answer to my prayers. Thank you Brittany! Your help has made me and Addie so happy!

I am glad that Addie is back to herself!
Yay! I'm so glad that you were able to find something that worked! You know the saying, "If momma ain't happy, ain't nobody happy"? Well, if the baby isn't happy, you definitely won't be happy. I'm glad that she's feeling better and that you are all doing well!
Awh... *blushes*
It was Nothin :)
