EUREKA!

One thing that can frustrate parents (especially for newbie ones like me) is when your baby cries and you can't comfort them or figure out why they're crying uncontrollably.

The Little One had her share of colic fits. In our case, her pediatrician decided to change her formula milk to a lactose-free one. (I was able to breastfeed her for only a month *sigh*) Shifting her to lactose-free proved to be helpful as she had less spit-up and she burps easily after feeding.

Another factor which I think helped was trying a different feeding bottle. There are different feeding bottles which are known to be anti-colic but the Playtex Ventaire bottle (thanks Ninang L!) worked out best for the Little One. I am loving these bottles big time!

To briefly explain about this product, got this write-up from the Playtex website.

PLAYTEX® VENTAIRE® ADVANCED

Promotes semi upright feeding position recommended by pediatricians to help prevent ear infections. Plus, micro-channel vents create a consistent flow of liquid to minimize pressure on your baby’s ear canals and helps protect against gas, colic and spit-up.

And there goes my Eureka moment . . .found the winning formula for the Little One!

Lactose free milk + Playtex ventaire bottle = less colic for baby (also equals to longer sleeping hours for Mommy!)

Woohoo!
