Hi thank you for the support so far.
So I had thought Monday had started more positively but then things deteriorated during the day.
Sunday night she had only fed once- from 1.30am to 3 am breast feed.
So when she woke at 7.15am on Monday i think she was definitely hungry as we had (based on prior days ) a good first feed
E 7.30am 90ml drank quite quickly, took 15 mins to wind and then 30ml more at 8.10am
Tried to settle in Moses from 8.20am, crying 8.40am- I offered the rest of the feed. She drank 30ml and then fell asleep. (Was this a misread of the cue, just I have just worked to settle without feeding to sleep.
S 8.55am- 10.30am (woke her self after best day sleep for a while. As 3 hrs since start of last feed I assumed hunger )
E 10.40am only took 20 ml then fell asleep - I think this is odd?
S 10.55-12 ( woke herself) - now the rest of the day goes wrong
E 12.00 90ml then 30 + 30 expressed with burps in between. Finished 12.55pm. Then fussing until another burp at 1.15 - then really crying/ rooting on my neck
Drank another 20 ml expressed (emptied bottle) so I offered 30 ml formula, drank 10ml. Seemed tired
Into Moses, crying picked up, asleep in arms, into Moses - crying after 3-4 mins
S 2.30-3pm by rocking in pram. Woke crying , tried to settle, I felt she was rooting again ( does she do this due to discomfort?
E 3.20pm-4.40pm: worked through 120ml with burps and crying whenever she came off the bottle
4.45 put in pram and took for a walk. Escalating crying until 5.20pm. She stopped when I picked up
S 5.20pm in arms until 5.55pm
Bath
6.20pm E drained 50 ml of expressed then hysterical crying, pushing bottle away, red face calmed byb6.45pm
6.45-7.45 pm drank 120 ml in small amounts with burps and crying.
Then seemed settled but crying again at 8.10pm
8.15 30ml then settled and sleep
S 8.30pm -11.30pm
11.45pm : 60 ml not interested in any more
S 12.30am- 2.30am
E 2.45am 30 ml : couldn't interest in any more
S 3.15am- 6.30 am
Today
6.30am BF LB 20 mins RB 20 mins, quiet and awake until 8am, crying offered top up, only took 10 ml ( missed OT cue and feel she needs to suck to go to sleep.
S 8.20am-
So she is clearly not getting enough sleep yesterday afternoon which probably led to the crying and fussing at the bedtime feed but any opinions on yesterday's afternoon behaviour?
I am going to see the hv tomorrow and will get her weighed and tongue checked and then maybe I can be more confident she is getting what she needs and be tougher on the sleep, or restricting the feeds to time limit.
Gosh I feel so unconfident.
