To add my 2-pence-worth...

attachmentparenting.org is a great resource for creating a calm family environment, no matter the issues, health or otherwise.

Several members have mentioned wearing your baby (try an adjustable one like storchenwiege.com), avoiding soy (lots of research confirms this), elimination diets (acid-forming foods, artificial colors, allergens, sugars), and giving more opportunities for sleep (cosleeping and taking your naps with baby do wonders). All of these are absolutely excellent and easy to incorporate into your lifestyle. Above all, go with your instincts. You and your babe are intimately connected through the womb experience, and often you are the only one who knows best. I support finding a physician who honors your views.

Try to find a calming tool that works for your relationship. Rhythmically and slowly snapping your fingers and wiggling them between snaps is one creative way. A certain song, hum, or tongue click sound are others. Make them quiet, calm, and unobtrusive to others, as you may have to use them in public. Find a tool that works for you, too. You'll be much more able to handle the peacebreakers when armed with peacemakers.

Lastly, lots of smiles and laughter are marvelous for the constitution. Make a point to do this several times a day (set a timer if you have to) and you'll store up energy to help you and your babe come through to peace.

Always remember, even though we rarely feel like it ourselves, our future grown children and grandchildren will look to us as supermoms because we pulled through many life obstacles. You're doing great by remaining humble and teachable (for this is the way to success in any endeavor). Keep up the great parenting, supermom!

Thanks, just wanted to add we already practice AP. DS co-sleeps with us, I wear him constantly in the Ergo (its the only way I can get most things done during the day) and sometimes that is the only way he will nap.

Today was a better day, no fits, and he napped!

I am going to second the recommendation to contact the early intervention program in your area. They are a great resource.
