You might want to do some research. I'm using spirulina and flaxseed and -oil as a preventative measure.

The only way to calm him down was to undress him down to his diaper, and then lay him on my husband's chest--skin to skin. Even nursing didn't help during those times, and boy...did I feel inadequate! But you're right...they do outgrow it. I'm glad you're hiring that doula to help you. Yes, it's money you wish you didn't have to spend. But think of it as an investment in your sanity, and that makes $15/hour a bargain!

I should have mentioned that. We used slings with Audrey, and that was a big boon. We started with a Sling-Ezee, and then migrated to a Baby Bjorn eventually, which she loved and we used until she just got too darn heavy. We used the Sling-Ezee with Owen for a few days, but then he grew so much that he didn't like the lying down position anymore, but we couldn't get him into any other position yet because he doesn't have enough neck control. I'm able to get him into the Baby Bjorn facing inward, but not for too long because it gets too hot. Funny enough, Andrew can get him in the Bjorn [he doesn't seem to give off as much heat as I do], but only facing outward. No pillows, I guess. Heh. Ah, yeah. I should have mentioned that.

Never tried one myself (being that I only have two nephews), but I've heard good things about it. http://www.mayawrap.com/ is one website that doesn't seem to be too expensive (I've seen simple ones going for $80!) It'll let you use your hands, own gets held, everyone wins :) You could try a sling to carry Owen in–it might help.
