If you don't have children, then you have no right...

I feel for you! I have a wonderful baby boy who is 5 months old. The only problem he has given me is burping. He fights and screams trying to get the bubbles out. I have found something from Mountain Meadow Herbs www.mountainmeadowherbs.com that really works. It is called colic relief. It has chamomile, catnip, and fennel, vegetable glycerin and water; so it is all natural ingredients, and it works instantly. He loves the taste, too. It is a little expensive, but it lasts pretty long for me. I don't know if you'll want to try it or not, just a suggestion! Don't worry-it will get better!

I agree! Some stupid people just don't know when to shut up!! You were very patient. Won't say what I would have done.

ok, First off let me say I don't have any children of my own, but I have helped raise young children. When my niece was born, I moved in with my sister for the first 6 months to help her out. And also I Lived with a roommate who had a one year old child. And have been an unoffical uncle to 2 other children.

Now with that being said you still handled the situation better than I would have and he obviously had no right to comment on your parenting skills by any means. Everyone has their moment at some point or another when they get even a little frustrated with a young one, but that by no means makes you a bad parent.

I understand how you feel. I had someone get on to me for spanking my child in the parking lot after a 1/2 hour fit in the store with my wife (the child not me

) I simply turned to them and asked if they had any children. they did and I asked where they were, cause I didn't see any with them. Turns out one was in jail and another in rehab. I told them they should have spanked them too!

The icing on the cake for me was when my son stopped the fit and gave me a hug and said I'm sorry. We walked back into the store without anymore problems.

Kids are difficult sometimes, but you can't put a price on the return on the investment. One day your son will be burping you.

As the song says, God is great, beer is good, and people are crazy!

The guy didn't have all his marbles plain and simple. I think he would have insulted anyone and you just happened to be in the right place at the right time. It wasn't fair or nice of him.

Just don't assume that because a person doesn't have kids that they can't make suggestions though. Lack of kids, doesn't equal lack of smarts or lack of experience. Having kids doesn't equal good parenting or good common sense. Evaluate the situation then make a decision based on that.

fennel rocks. I used it with my oldest one. I mixed formula with fennel tea. I bought it as a instant mix from germany , its expensive but it saved my nights.

That is my guess.


Some people just aren't happy unless they find fault with others. Those people's opinions are not even worth thinking about twice.

Is he still a difficult burper at 5 months? Shoot, lol. Our oldest was burping on his own at 3 months, I was kind of hoping our little guy would be easier at that point. Darn. Lol. I may check into that, but probably won't use it until he's older, if he's still difficult.

As for people without kids, yes, some understand, but, a lot of people sit on their high horse and act like they would be a perfect parent, when they literally have no idea what they're talking about.

I was a perfect parent... until I had kids.
