Babies become smarter as they get older... I wouldn't say all bouncers are bad...sometimes, a bouncer can be good to soothe a particularly fussy baby. As long as it's safe and doesn't need a full time bouncer "guard", I'm all for it :-) Mott - Thanks for the input - I'm (am sure other Mums too) always keen to learn new info about our precious ones. I do hate it when I come across cases/stories where babies are left alone to "cry" or misdiagnosed as you mentioned...really pity the helpless little babes. Syn - Wow, 3 hours every night? That must have been a hard time. Don't feel guilty, you did what you needed to do and I know you'd take care of all her needs first before your very own :-) Will keep my fingers crossed for your second one. I have NOT tried this gripe water but from the looks of it, I'm impressed too. Zara's Mama - Yeah, me too. Ugh, only 2 blogs and believe me, I'm sinking in the quicksand! You can see how irregular my timing is. Would you believe it if I told you some Mums have 10 blogs???

And she fully breastfed then. :( Anyway, ur making feel guilty coz there were several occasions I let her be to cry on her own coz I was all alone with her and I needed my shower and to settle things around the house before I hit the sack. Of course, I made sure she's not hungry, diapers cleaned and all before I let her be but it was like 15-30 mins the most. I even tried gripe water but it was no help. Now that I know there's another gripe water type, I will try this out if no. 2 is also colicky (which I sure hope not!). thanks for this post!
