Maybe I Am On To Something.........

Last night I left my son with a friend of mine for a couple of hours while I went and had a final dress fitting for a bridesmaid dress and of course I left him screaming his head off. Luckily, the friend that I left him with was very capable of handling his "fit" but still I felt bad leaving him. In a effort to not begin to cry, I tried thinking of what may be causing these fits that he seems to have every day.

I began to think that the "fit" would happen about two hours after I would give him his juice bottle. I am giving him juice to help with his constipation issue. In addition to the "fit" he would then spit up for a couple of hours and would also scream 1/2 way through his bottle. So my conclusion is that maybe the juice is upseting his little tummy. I decided that I would do 2 things to test my theory out today.

First, no juice until bed time and I am going to do 1/2 juice and 1/2 water and see what that does. Frank and I decided to get out of the house today and go to the mall. I dread outings because these "fits" of course, happen when we are out. I am so excited to say that we had the most wonderful two hours at the mall today!!! No "fits" and he was a very happy baby the whole time!!

I really think that I am right about the juice upsetting his tummy. I hope that tonight when I water it down that it will ease some of the upset but still take care of the constipation issue.

Keep your fingers crossed!
