Things New Parents Should Know # 9 - Bandsaw
Take a bandsaw and put it in your bedroom. Set it up so it will run all on it's own from late afternoon and on through the night. It should activate at random points anywhere between one and four hours apart throughout the night, for not less than two minutes at a time. Average length of a run should be around fifteen minutes. Maximum time an hour or so.
When it's running, every second or so it will be randomly fed wood, with occasional bits of stone and metal for variety of sound.
It should be built so it has a sweet face, scrunched up in heart-breaking discomfort that you can do nothing about. Cuddling it may help it finish a run sooner, but may not.
This is your baby with colic.

Ooh. I just talked to my Mum, and apparently I had it too. She asked if Karen is drinking cow's milk? Apparently that doesn't help, but I'm not sure how that works. Okay - just checked the net - here I'll paste it:
Mums who breast feed and who include dairy products in their diet can also pass cow's milk proteins to their baby through their breast milk so don't automatically rule this out if you're breast feeding. However remember to find another source of calcium to replace the dairy you cut out, to ensure you are still getting sufficient calcium while breastfeeding.
Good luck!
