Giggling and Gaseous

I'm quite sure that most of you know how gassy this little Landon of ours has been. He just can't seem to grow out of it yet. Everyone says...he'll get better with time, just get to 2 months...just get to 3 months...just get to 4 months...ahhhhhhhh! We're already AT 4 months and it doesn't seem much better. We went for our 4 month well-baby visit yesterday and the conclusion about the gas is: "he'll grow out of it". When?? When he's 5 months? 5 years? 50?

On a more positive note, it seems my milk supply has increased--which is a blessing. Landon seems to be more satisfied after feedings now and is sleeping better for naps (when he's not rudely awoken by a GAS bubble or a blaring ambulance/motorcycle!). I think my milk has increased because: 1)an herbal supplement called Fenugreek (which I took for a while), 2) more frequent feedings, 3) a prescription drug called Reglan. I was not thrilled about taking a drug, but this one seems well-researched and safe for nursing mothers. Interestingly enough the drug was designed for stomach issues and increased milk production was just a side-effect! Imagine how shocked someone who wasn't lactating must have been when they discovered that! Ha! It makes me giggle.

Speaking of giggles...our little guy has started laughing! I first noticed his little giggle while I was changing his diaper (he loves being naked...uh-oh). I started blowing on his stomach and the next thing I knew he was almost cackling! It was too cute. By the time I got the video camera, he was not willing to do it anymore...but I'm sure it will eventually get captured on film! In the meantime, I'll take those little moments of laughter--it helps me get through the more frequent moments of screaming!
