Logan had been a pretty good boy so far.  He cries a bit, but that’s usually just before feeding time or maybe we’ve kept him up to long.  All of a sudden as soon as he turned one-month old, he had crying fits.  He wasn’t really hungry, so we tried everything else in our arsenal….rocking, white noise, bouncer, walking, exercise ball, dryer running, etc, etc.  But if he wasn’t sleeping or eating he was either fussing or crying. 

Along with this new attitude also came a change in his pooping and gaseousness.  After a few days of this Bonnie decided to call the Kaiser Advice nurse.   The nurse stated that since he was still young and it was a quick personality change we should go in later that day for an appointment.  So off we schlep to the doctor and he gives us the news that it’s probably Colic.  But no worries, he’ll probably get over it in a couple of months!  Argh…months.
The timing of his sudden upset got us thinking….why now…just when he turned one-month.  Then we realized something big.  The previous post in this Blog has a big clue.  Go look at the picture….I’ll wait.   Go on….look at the picture from the post “Logan Turns One Month old”.  You back?  Ok, figure it out?   No, nothing to do with his proximity to an open flame.
The birthday cake was mostly Ice cream which Bonnie has been enjoying each night since.  I guess Cows Milk gets passed on the kid thru breastfeeding and it’s also one of the things that can cause baby gas and a long with it, a fussy little boy.  We hoped this was indeed the cause.

So far last night and today he’s been more content, sleeping longer and hardly crying.  We even went on a big adventure to the grocery store which he slept right through.

Keeping our fingers crossed……oh, and the rest of the cake is all mine.
