I appreciate your thoughts! And what you described is pretty much what I do. Dante is easier to settle.I think Demetrio will be forced to learn patience, lol. Oh, and the racing heart, yes... trying to deal with the older one while lil one screams desperately. You know, you should really start a blog! Three little ones, living in Scotland with a sailor husband... I am sure you have many stories to share! Oh Karen, it’s ok! I appreciate your thoughts!

Or at least do some housework and cooking for you... Yup, it's challenging dealing with multiple little ones. My philosophy is always to deal with the loudest first. Usually the oldest and usually the one you have a chance of actually settling in some way. The other one either gives up and falls asleep or learns a bit of patience (No, I'm not really that harsh - my heart races while the screaming goes on...). However, I've never had collicky little ones so never had to deal with full-on screaming for no apparent reason. And as for "well, you wanted another" type comments. Grrrrr! Mean and not the point! Sorry this is so long - I know this isn't what comments sections are for - I should email properly... Karen Oh, honey, you poor thing – wish I was there to grab one of them for you.

I have heard of such great results from cutting out milk. When Cora was younger we went dairy free for her and it made a world of difference in her behaviour, but she seems to have grown out of it. I often wonder if I should cut it out again but it is so hard to do when it is not so obviously helpful. that sucks :( I hope it is worthwhile and helps!

I cut out the Splenda, thinking that might be it. I eat very very little dairy. All my boys were like this, I often wonder if its genetic.. they just have a hard time adjusting to life in the big world, or if it's related to the c-section and anitbiotics I was on through IV at their birth.... maybe upset the stomach flora and contributed to some gut problems. He is on Bio Gaia probiotoc drops, so Im hoping to see an improvement in time. Dante screamed all the time too, even when i took everything out of my diet. But I did not have another small one to contend with at the time, so it was a bit different.

If there is anything I can do to help out (bring by some more food, do some laundry, take Dante for a walk, clean) please let me know. Could Demetrio be sensitive to something you are eating?
