Kris, hope the meds help. I know they helped Arthur -- they stopped him screaming in pain, but didn't fix his bad boob manners.
boob manners
Cute.
I posted on reflux board about connection with gs, so will see what they have to say.
reflux board? I'll have to look for that one. There are so many boards here, I can't keep up.
I have definitely noticed a difference in Curtis since getting meds. While he is still fussing at the breast & bottle, the biggest change I notice is his cry. He doesn't sound like he's in as much pain. I stopped fighting him to get on the breast. He's starting to sleep better too.
He was only up once last night to eat (3:00). At his age, he shouldn't be up, but its certainly progress from where we've been. I got him up at 7:15 and he nursed himself awake and did get a decent feeding in. He napped better today too. After 1.5 hours this morning, I had to get him b/c we had a playdate for big sis. I nursed him awake again. At least he got a couple ounces in w/out a fight.
Next, I need to work on his boob manners & I think I'm going to try a cup with EBM to see if he'll at least take some while having his meals and we can practice during playtime too.
If I'm able to get him right when he wakes like that, I think he'll be on EAEAS, with the second E being for solids. We'll see.
I notice you ladies talking about gs too. Well, we may have been having one of those for the last month since he's gained 2.5 pounds since the beginning of January! So, I know he's not starving.
