Not knowing baby's distress distresses me. The hopelessness of not-knowing. The I-don't-know's of biological technicalities. Unsureness of safety for infant (all the things I use for myself). Google is great for almost-instant answers. Sometimes answers doesn't come quick enough.
But there are always solutions, or at least attempts towards solving it. Recognising that this is the best I can do at the moment.
I found another ant trail entry, which meant I could spray vinegar in two locations and wipe the walls with eucalyptus oil. Coming to acceptance that it will have to do until I can find where the peppermint disappeared to.
I can't fix baby's sweat rash and insect bites, but I can help her cope.
Deciding that today will be a day of caring for us both.
Oddly enough she calmed down, once I calmed down.
I can dance to music with her.
I can read out eft sentences to her.
We can both have a cooling bath later.
It's okay to slow down, not everything is urgent.
