The secret to napping during colic...

As many of you know our little B had quite a bout with colic from 3 weeks until 6 weeks (we're very thankful it only lasted that long!). He gave Mommy and Daddy a better test of endurance than any of our previous sports could ever match! Poor little guy didn't know what to do while his tummy was working things out!
We got a lot of good advice from friends, family and the doctors suggesting the vacuum, dryer, driving laps in the neighborhood, gripe water, gas drops, elimination diet, etc. etc. but Benjamin wasn't a fan of any of those great ideas. It was by sheer accident that Mommy discovered what came to be known as the "magic room" where Benjamin ended up spending almost all of his naps and most of his colic evenings during those few weeks...thank goodness for last resort of trying to take a shower with baby in the swing...otherwise we would have never found the magic touch!
Magic room:
Mommy and Daddy's bathroom +Swing+SPACE HEATER FAN = FINALLY SOME SLEEP!!! (even if it is only for an hour or two!)
