Claire Shieh 自由飛翔: 2008/10

從宣璦滿3週之後, 常常一到晚上她就會一直哭. 無論我如何她, 她就是尖叫大哭. 一副超級痛苦的樣子. 跟她白天開心平靜的樣子有著天壤之別. 一開始我是抱著她跟她一起哭. 慢慢的就會用盡各種方式轉移她的注意力. 每次喝完奶也努力的拍她, 幫她做腹部運動. 這些多少有些幫助. 哭得時間減短了. 但還是哭得很殘. 每天到晚上我們就戰戰兢兢的. 這幾天她哭我還是抱著她陪著她. 她也總是看著我的眼, 依偎著我尖叫大哭. 一副撒嬌又很痛苦的望著我. 心都被她看碎了.

後來昨天David出門前就請他去找驅風劑(Gripe Water). 後來昨天晚上一直到11點都還蠻平靜的. 我們還在慶幸她沒有脹氣. 只是過了11點她又哭到天好像要垮下來了. 後來就拿出驅風劑(Gripe Water) 2個人手忙腳亂的, 我抱緊她, David負責量劑量, 我再餵她. 餵完了她還在哭. 不知要多久才會起作用? David 馬上Google. 突然間2聲burp 又響又長的, 之後小宣璦就完全進入睡眠狀態. 看著她平靜的臉, 我們都想哭了.

====================================================

Gripe Water is a European remedy that has been around for ages. When gas medications and massage won’t work, Gripe Water usually will which is why most mothers keep it on hand all the time. Gripe water is simply water fortified with herbs that are proven to help calm the stomach and even the intestines. The water is sterile water usually fortified with herbs such as peppermint, chamomile, fennel, or ginger or a combination of these herbs. All of these herbs have been used for centuries to help with stomach upset, and they have been proven to help infants as well. Your pediatrician may recommend that you feed your baby four ounces of herbal tea per day to help with stomach cramps, but when you substitute Gripe Water you don’t have to choose what type of tea to use each day. Instead, your baby can benefit from a mixture of these herbs that will likely provide a lot of relief.

Gripe Water works with infant colic because the herbs used in it have a calming effect on the whole digestive system. Because doctors don’t know exactly what causes colic, their efforts with gas medication and reflux medication are hit or miss. With Gripe Water you can easily and effectively address the whole digestive tract, which is usually what babies complain about when they suffer from colic. Gripe Water simply addresses all of your colicky infant’s gripes, and it doesn’t get much more straightforward than that!

If your baby won’t take the Gripe Water by itself, you can easily use the Gripe Water instead of tap or sterile water when you mix formula. Your baby will likely not be able to tell the difference and will eat like normal. But, the pain of colic will not follow the feeding because the herbs in the Gripe Water will counter the digestive irritation caused by the formula. If you are breast-feeding, try spooning the Gripe Water into your baby’s mouth if he or she won’t take a bottle.

The great thing about using Gripe Water to treat colic is that it’s all natural. There is no need to worry about over dosing your baby or the side effects he or she may have from the herbs. If it works, great, you can keep using it. If it happens to not work for your child, there is no harm in having tried the natural remedy. Chances are, you’ll find that Gripe Water makes life with a colicky baby worth living again!

她其實不複雜

現在每天的生活就是圍著宣璦渡過, 慢慢的對她也愈來愈認識. 她每天就是在睡覺, 喝奶, 大便, 抱抱和玩一玩之中渡過.

睡覺, 她作息算是很有規律的. 每天晚上11點到早上6-8點都會乖乖的睡覺. 只是每2-4個小時都會要起來喝奶. 但不用太安撫她, 她就會睡回籠覺.

喝奶, 大部份還是2-3個小時一次, 不過有慢慢延長中, 一天中總有幾次會延長到3個小時一次. 如果餵食完後( 有餵飽)的一個半小時內, 她大哭, 99%不是因為肚子餓. 肚子餓時的哭聲都是超大聲的.

大便, 她大便時常是很響亮的, 很難錯過的. 有時如果錯過了, 有時只要一點點大便, 她都會大哭抗議. 通常10分鐘內就會哭了. 如果是晚上大便, 她通常不哭的. 所以每次餵奶後要幫她檢查. 晚上大部份都是尿. 便便比較少.

抱抱, 通常會先假哭. 如果抱她又安撫她, 她還哭, 就要抱她到處走走. 她通常會四處張望. 我通常會持續的拍拍她, 摸摸她她常常在四處張望中就會睡了. 有時她累了又不睡就會哭. 我就是抱著她走一走, 一下子她就會睡了.

玩一玩, 有時餵食完, 把她包好了, 她就會哭, 一直踢呀踢的. 要餵她, 她也不要. 我就會把布巾打開然後跟她玩, 跟她說話. 或讓她躺著自己玩.

有時她明明就很累又不能入睡. 抱著她, 她還哭, 我就會給她奶嘴. 還好她不太喜歡奶嘴. 常會吐出來不吸. 我會硬塞回去試個幾次. 她快睡著前再把奶嘴拔出來. 抱著她等她睡著. 再把她放下來. 如果她醒過來, 我就會陪她睡一下.

晚上睡覺時一定要把她包緊宣璦很會掙脫的. 她半夜起來都只為了喝奶. 只是她起來後如果發現自己被包住了, 她會暫時忘記肚子餓這件事, 她會先努力的掙脫. 我就可以多睡一下... 哈哈....

我慢慢的覺得帶小孩沒有一定的錯與對. 只是身旁的人都會告訴我, 我該怎樣帶小孩. 有時聽得真煩. 有一次我帶宣璦, 沒幾分鐘的時間就有不同的2個人, 一個很嚴肅的告訴我宣璦穿太多, 另一個很大聲的訓我我她穿太少了(整家店的客人都盯著我看). 也有人反對我跟宣璦睡....也有人要我不要抱著她, 要讓她哭個夠. 還有人反對我用紙尿布和濕紙巾的. 還有人要我如何餵奶的.

其實她哭的時候都是有原因的我目前都還在一個試著了解她的階段. 並不是讓她哭個夠就會解決–切的問題. 有幾個晚上她就是尖叫大哭, 表情好像很不舒服, 後來試過所有的方式. 她就是哭個不停, 最後我和David覺得她好像脹氣肚子很不舒服. 努力的拍她要幫她, 還是一直哭... 該把她放下讓她哭個夠嗎? 後來我陪她一起哭. 第一次知道, 我捨不得但我卻也沒能力去解決她所有的問題. 但是我卻又可以陪在她身旁. 她也會知道我會陪她渡過....

當然我也曾試過讓她哭個夠的手法... 待續......>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
