You know what they used to recommend? Rubbing whisky on the baby’s gums. I guess if they did that enough the baby would be snockered and sleep it off.
Before that(early 1900s) they recommended paragoric (sp?). That’s opium. Probably worked even better but then you might’ve had a baby addict on your hands.
Compared to all that, music is a marvelous solution.
Loved this!! Thank god for The Happy Song. You capture the tension of the parenting vortex so beautifully, wanting time to slow down just as you want an exhausting moment to speed up.
You have my sympathy- we’ve been there!

Beautiful writing. I felt like I was there with you but kinda glad I wasn’t. 😊
Thank G-d for the Heap! What a cute song. Yes, I listened. I almost fell asleep.
