My wife and I just had our first child, Valentina, about 3 weeks ago.
She’s had a lot of gas and fussiness and barely sleeps. As of now she’s been awake for practically the past 13 hours, with maybe a little sleeping here or there. And this hasn’t been that unusual. This isn’t good since newborns are supposed to sleep 18 hours a day.
The doctor thinks it has to do with her reaction to the formula: we first tried regular, and then soy, and now we’re trying a third formula (lactose-free) before having to get the special expensive kind (hypoallergenic).
So if you could, please pray that this formula works for her and can make her feel better. Oh, and also pray for my wife too. I know they say that you lose sleep with a newborn, since you have to get up and feed them every few hours, but my wife is really not getting sleep since the baby is awake and crying hours upon hours per day/night.
Thanks

Heavenly Father, watch over, protect and bless this precious child of yours; give her comfort in her nursing, eliminate the gas and digestive problems, and give this daughter and her mother and father peace!!!
