So at our visit to the pediatrician Friday to get the zantac Rx, I [...]

More Thoughts on Colic

But first a little video of Jeff’s “Is Jasper Hungry” test!

I want to thank you all for your extremely thoughtful and useful advice on Jasper’s “colic” situation. I put “colic” in quotes because I don’t think his discomfort is colic at all, as colic is defined as ocurring only during a certain three hour period [...]
