and when the air is released
of the irritation he'll be rid.

very nice!
A happy little story! A kind of nursery rhyme could be? They say that gripe water is 95% alcohol and it's not good for a baby. Is it so? &

A nice take on the IP, Luigi!
A nice take on the IP, Luigi!
I always felt unskilled at the exact best way to hold and tap the baby. Recently I was helping my son when his wife was hospitalized with that bad flu, and we were trying to help the baby take a bottle, when suddenly I was drenched with that trapped wind rapidly pushing quite a lot of milk out and had to search out a change of clothes! But it saved the settee. Rhiannon

... this is why I remember spending half my life with a muslin strategically draped over one shoulder when my boys were little! Nice take on the IP Luigi!

What a lovely poem :0) I like
What a lovely poem :0) I like the story in it, all the different options. Brought back lots of memories - my partner was the best out of us two at the back rubbing, too! The happiness I got from learning hpw to do it must have been as great as my son's from feeling better!
It is clever to have a helpful message wrapped up in a story poem with rhymes, sort of thing it would be good to get if you bring up a baby far from family
