Gripe water

Vivian's baby acne keeps getting worse - in 2 days, she will be 5 weeks old. She is staying awake longer and longer periods of time during the day, and still feeding every 2-3 hours. Sometimes she stays awake as long as one hour, and she is really looking around a lot.

We got some gripe water, and it really seems to be helping with her fussiness. When she has a BM, there is not as much air in it as before. The Gripe water is just fennel and ginger extract and apparently, in India, they feed it to every baby at every feeding.
