Breast Milk
17-JAN-2005:
I took a sip of my own breast milk. It didn't taste good at all!
Today, I downloaded a sound clip which is designed specifically to calm colicky babies and to put them to sleep. It simulates the sounds in the womb which is familiar to the baby, including the mother's heart beat. When I put on the audio, Dominic seemed to recognize the sound because he suddenly became very still, eyes wide (before this he was crying and flailing about). But it only worked for a while. I still need to rock him to sleep ... SIGH!
I have also downloaded some white noise clips such as vaccum cleaner, hair dryer and electric fan. I have yet to try them.
