Oh I'm sooo thankful you're here!
Prop: Yes, the paci is going. Soon. Some of her wakings are definitely that - she fusses with her mouth wide open and then goes right back down as soon as I pop it in. However, not all of her wakings are that - often I go in there and it's already in (I know, I know...it's going don't worry!
, and I just need to pat her a bit and she goes back down.
Feeds: I fed her at 10pm, she screamed for 5mins when I first offered the breast, then I rocked her until she calmed down and she fed fine. Took me until 11pm to get her back down, though. Fed her again at 12:30am, she screamed when I changed her diaper, but then went down and I think that's what got her "switched" to every hour instead of every 20mins.
She is not acting in pain, I think. She is rather easy to put back to sleep with a shh/pat. Hmmm...has she turned my presence into a prop? Ah but an ear infection I had not thought of. She was a little warm to me yesterday but not enough to take a temp. I will look at her today more closely. She also has a diaper rash that looks more like yeast than a diaper rash...but I have not known it to bug babies (I was a pedi nurse, btw).
Wakey time...
