When we were in the hospital for the few days after Bella’s birth, they gave us a special formula for “gassy and fussy” babies. At first, I was a little insulted, as I thought “they don’t even know Bella, how would they know if she was fussy OR gassy.” Apparently, (new moms listen up), two things are true: 1) hospitals are given formula by a manufacturer for marketing purposes and that becomes the formula that ALL babies get and 2) ALL babies really are fussy AND gassy !
The nurses taught us to burp Bella midway through the bottles, so she didn’t get too much accumulation of air in her belly. And, obviously, the gas only has two directions to go – UP or DOWN. She would let loose these monster burps that would make any beer-drinking-frat-boy proud! We always assumed we did a good job of ridding our precious little Princess of her “gas”… Apparently NOT. It is AMAZING the noises that come out of both ends of this teeny tiny little girl. She even out-farts the dog ! Most of the time she smiles or giggles afterwards or looks quizzically, like “did that really come from me ?” (nice work, practicing her cover-ups for the future). Everywhere we go, if people hear our musical child let something loose, they giggle and think she’s adorable. If an adult person made these same sounds in public, people would look in horror and disgust.
So, I guess baby farts really are CUTE. But, at what age do you think it goes from adorable to horrible to be fussy and gassy ?

Hopefully she learns to tone it down a bit before her first date! Otherwise that may be quite a long time… 😉
