Two things because I'm too lazy for two posts!

1. DD has woken up with epic gas issues at 3am 3 nights in a row and I'm losing my mind!!! I spend two hours helping her work it out and then we finally get back to sleep for more than 20min. Suggestions? I'll call doc on Monday but I need some ideas before then.
2. I got my period back yesterday and forgot how much it SUCKS! Ugh. I used to have wretched cramps for 18hrs but it seems I've traded those for headaches and a constant, dull ache in my ute that's been going on for over 24 hours. Boo. The only positive is that having a regular cycle again makes charting a helluva lot easier...but wtf body?

Have you tried gripe water? Try giving it before bed. DS used to have the same problem but the gripe water before bed did the trick. As for AF sorry!
Yeah, I started doing that a few days ago because she was screaming in pain from teething but I didn't know that's what it was yet. I'm still doing it because the drool gives them tummy trouble sometimes. I'm thinking I'll try to spread out halfdoses throughout the day? Perhaps then it will get to her intestines before the madness starts. Haha, we'll see.
Also, as for AF, that sucks, I'm sorry. Be careful charting because it can take a couple of months to get regulated. That's how we ended up with DD2.
Thanks! We're EBF and she still hasn't had a bottle, haha. So not sure where the gas is coming from...but yeah, we'll be careful charting, for sure, but we're not too worried about it. Ideally, DD would be 15mo or so when we got pregnant again, but I wouldn't totally freak out if she was like, 9mo. We're always open to new life though, hence the charting. ::mobile smiley::
If you are breastfeeding, have you eaten anything in the past couple of days that you haven't had before? Even if it doesn't seem like the kind of thing that would cause gas, it could be culprit.
As for your period, man do I feel you on that! I got mine back a month ago and it totally blew.
