Well, we didn't celebrate Sihuai's first month birthday since that was when Siyuan went to the hospital. We've entered the phase when Sihuai would progressively get gas problems. However, because she seems to control her feeding better (ie she doesn't overfeed like Siyuan who even stored milk in his mouth), the problem was less extreme.
Her maternal grandmother, who was visiting, also remarked that Sihuai cried less often.
It was also easier to deal with the crying bouts associated with her stomach discomfort as we knew what it was about. It was incredibly frustrating when Siyuan had it becos nothing we tried worked and the crying made me feel angry and bewildered. This time, it was simple: Sihuai, you just have to tough it out.
Of course, we burped her,cycled her legs and massaged her belly to help.
There's of course a cycle also to her behavior. After she pooed, she would have a good day, and then as the shit builds up, her farts would get incredibly smelly and the stomach uncomfortable. She seem to be doing a 4 days cycle between poo. Siyuan once went 10 days before pooing. That's normal, our maternal nurse in Melbourne had told us. Breastfed babies can go up to two weeks without pooing.
