Since Brooke was born we have had someone come to help with the housekeeping. They were referred by a friend and have truly been lifesavers!There are generally 3 of them: Danny, his wife, and his sister-in-law. Today the women (who are not as proficient in English) sent Danny up to me with a tip - rub tequila on Brookes stomach once a day for three days and it will cure colic. Apparently they feel bad watching me spend all of my time trying to soothe a screaming baby :(
They are all from the same village in Mexico, and it's a common practice over there. I tried googling it and kept finding references to how THE PARENTS should DRINK tequila to survive the days & nights with a colicky baby, but nothing about rubbing it directly on the baby.
I'm considering it. At this point no advice is unappreciated. I'll do anything to ease Brookes pain and keep my sanity! If rubbing it on her belly doesn't work at least I can drink whatever is left.
