Guess who is eating from a spoon!!!

Well yes, I am...but I have been for years! Guess who else is eating from a spoon! Samantha is eating rice cereal. The only problem we had was when I wasn't getting it to her mouth fast enough!

This is how it happened. The poor baby has been so gassy! She's got reflux really bad and she spits up everything. Lots of times it comes forcefully out her mouth and nose and she gets choked. So, she's been having some really bad days lately. Lot's of gas pain and crying. Last night was rough and when we went to bed she whined and grunted and cried for a while and I thought, I think I can mix up a paste that will help her belly. I mixed ginger paste, lemon grass paste and peppermint (all herbs that are used for upset stomach, gas and indigestion) together with a little bit of water. I put in in my magic bullet (it's like a small blender) and made sure it was all chopped extra fine and mixed well. Then I gave her a small amount from a spoon. She loved it! and she wanted more...so i gave her more. Then she wanted more, so I made some rice cereal and mixed it in with the cereal. She ate it all and wanted more. I didn't give her more but I did nurse her and then we both went to bed and slept peacefully all night!!! Did you get that? We slept all night. Thank you God!

In Christ,

Shirley
