Fussy, fussy, fussy

Ashley's demeanor has changed over the last week or 2. She has been much more fussy in the evenings and recently in the mornings too. She has been known to cry for 2-3 hours straight. This change has not been very welcomed into our routine. :)    My preference is to hold her and soothe her, you know make things right. Dad wants to hold her for a minute and then put her down and leave the room to let her cry it out. While I don't enjoy holding her while she screams uncontrollably, I've been a lot stronger than I thought I would be. I can certainly outlast daddy in the comforting/holding/soothing.  We have determined that she is swallowing quite a bit of air when she is eating and that is leading to quite a bit of discomfort and pain for her. So, eventually, even if it takes 20 minutes a burp does come out and things are better for a bit. The good news is that she does really well during the night. She must be relaxed enough that she doesn't get as much air, I don't know. But, she doesn't get fussy during the night, she eats, burps, and goes back to sleep. Let's hope that stays the same.   :)
