Dear Livia,<\/p>\n
Wah, Wah, Waaah, Waaaaah, WAH, WAAAH, WAAAAAAAAH!<\/p>\n
How do you<\/em> like it?<\/p>\n Just kidding, Sweetie.<\/p>\n Yesterday, you wouldn’t stop crying. I tried everything—diaper changes, burping, propping, tummy time, rocking, singing—you name it. As the day wore on, you got worse and worse until you reached the level we call “nuclear.” I don’t know if it was colic or “baby just needing to cry.” Or maybe you had reached your tolerance for being “stretched.”<\/p>\n You see, you want to eat all the time, but at your age, you should be waiting longer between bottles and eating more at each feeding. I simply can’t feed you every hour-and-a-half. If I do, I get nothing else done and you’re STILL unhappy between feedings. So I’ve been stretching the time between bottles. When I took you to your two-month check-up, I told the nurse practitioner what I’d been doing and she said it was the right thing.<\/p>\n Being stretched doesn’t mean you need to get all bent out of shape, Little One. I hope you adapt soon. I hate to hear you cry.<\/p>\n Love,<\/p>\n Mom<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Dear Livia, Wah, Wah, Waaah, Waaaaah, WAH, WAAAH, WAAAAAAAAH!
