Sad Belly

Since he's been born, Wyatt has been struggling with a gassy belly. We talked to the doctor about it, and the problem is within normal range. Poor little guy just has to tough it out while his body adjusts to the world. It can make breastfeeding a bit of a challenge since once his belly starts a gurglin' and his bum starts a tootin', latching becomes difficult.

We've gotten good at helping him work through the discomfort. Making sure to regularly burp, tummy rubs and bicycle crunches (picture above), and drops for gas are all in our arsenal. Parent patience is also needed with a screaming baby, but we try to keep in perspective that he has a sad belly, and we're here to help him work through it.
