Got milk?

I guess mommy won't be having any milk for a while. After spending several weeks with an extremely fussy (in the evenings) baby, I decided I had to take action. You were so gassy and curled up like you were hurting. I could hardly stand to see the clock move forward to 6pm, because I knew you were in distress.
We thought that onions were the culprit, since your sister didn't like those much, but cutting out onions didn't seem to relieve your distress. So, I researched and found that (of all things) dairy was the most likely culprit. Now, if you have ever actually payed attention to how much dairy you eat, you will know that it sneaks into most everything. And I am a HUGE fan of dairy. I drink a tall glass of milk in the morning and at night. I have cheese with every meal and sometimes for a snack...and ice cream is my favorite dessert. Not to mention the mac n cheese, cream sauces, coffee creamer...UGH!
I stopped the dairy completely for 7 days. And I have to say I was hoping it wouldn't work. I really miss the milk. But, it helped considerably. I was then told to try and add it back in slowly, starting with hard cheese. You did fine with that. But, when I tried to add in the glasses of milk...disaster! So, we are back to square one. I have to cut it all out again. And in another week I can try cheese...but this time no milk for a month!
But, you are worth giving up the milk. For all the nighttime smiles, it will be worth it.
