Baby Bliss

Blake, like her mother and father before her, probably has colic or acid reflux.

Everybody knows that there is a product called gripe water. 

What everybody maybe does not know is that there is good, better and best gripe water.  I am not kidding. 

Here is our story.

I have always been interested in why some products are low priced and some are right off the charts. Thus, the case of the gripe water.  The cheap stuff did not work for us.  But, the expensive stuff, a product called Baby Bliss was sent from heaven. 

This product is fantastic.  It works like a charm for Blake and I would recommend it to everyone.

She loves the taste of it and is ready to suck it from the dropper after hearing the dropper tap the side of the container.  After she eats, she just cannot always get the gas out of her tummy and the Baby Bliss is sent into action to solve the gas problem.  It works like magic.  We do recommend you try this is necessary for your pumpkin.

Auto Baby

 Blake did not like the car.

Everyone told us that their baby would fall asleep in the car.  They even went so far as to suggest that when the baby did not sleep they would put the baby in the car and just drive around and the baby would sleep. 

Well here is our story.

We would put Blake in the car seat and she would immediately start to cry………I mean scream.  It got so bad that we did not want to go anywhere in the car.  Then the solution came…………..well it came in the guise of Blake’s Dad’s birthday present……….An IPad.  Yes, that’s what it took.

Magic. I mean magic.

Blake now sits in her car seat and watches the Baby Einstein videos and she is an angel.

Thank God for Apple.

Not the NANA Bounce

Well, I finally have started to write my blog.  The perfect granddaughter is now 6 months and I have just come up for air.  She is a handful.  All the books that my daughter and I have read have called this beauty, a High Needs Child.  What that really means is that she does not Sleep, she breast feeds every 2 hours, she does not like the car seat, she makes strange, she throws up a lot, But, when she smiles at us, which is frequent It makes everything right.   We feel that she has acid reflux and I would like to share how we have gotten along this far.

This first blog will be about a lifesaver, not the candy type but the Yoga ball.  We have bounced Blake, isn’t that a cute name for a little girl, on the yoga ball since we brought her home.  If we would not have stumbled onto the yoga ball, we would have had to do what we call “The Nana bounce”.  That was coined for my mother who had this unique bounce that settled my daughter and her cousins.  But after trying the bounce for myself it hurt my back and I therefore tried the Yoga ball.

After, a little practice, Blake’s Dad and I had the rhythm down pat and we were able to settle her down.  Robin was unable to bounce on the ball because she was recovering from a tough delivery.  So the bouncing was up to us and I must say if you have a grandchild who need comforting……please try bouncing on the ball.

Another small tip, if you need to bounce on the ball, get yourself several of them.  Blake’s parents have three balls, all on different floors of their home so they are accessible.
