Gas Pain...

I'm not talking about the pain we feel paying to fill up our car : ) Jackson has had to deal with some gas issues (I blame Chris' genes) over the past few weeks. We tried the over the counter medicine for babies with no relief. Our pediatrician recommended this stuff called Gripe Water. It's made with ginger and fennel. I had my doubts but I have to say it has made a noticeable difference. Instead of being up every hour he has actually let us sleep for up to 3 hours sometimes! I no longer feel like a walking zombie. Who knew 5 hours of sleep would feel like 10 hours but after going on little to none it does. The video below is me feeding Jackson the Gripe Water with a dropper. The stuff smells and tastes like black licorice, I don't like the taste but he does (Thank God!). Enjoy the video!
