Hi girls,
DD is better, a little grumpy though. Last night she had fever again and I think she had a headache. It's awful because when she cries, we end up with lots of AP and I don't know if she'll get used to it... Last night, she had a NW at 11 pm and DH rocked her to sleep.
Anyways, thanks for the wishes!
Yesterday we went to the daycare to start the adaptation. We arrived there at 2:30 pm and left at 4pm. I BFed her at 2 pm and left home. She played until almost 4 pm and since the caregiver doesn't know her tired cues, she obviously (but not on purpose) lost the window! DD got OT and was about to sleep when the caregiver asked me to pick her up. DD got upset, and I don't blame her, she was up for 2 hours! Although she can handle a 4 hours EASY in terms of eating, she can't handle 2 hours of 'A' time without being OT. She ended up napping for only 30 minutes at home and then woke up.
I think all these changes (daycare, first time sick) are tough for those LO, don't you think so?
The weather here is very dry so people are more prone to respiratory illnesses, IYKWIM? DD's poop is very liquid due to this germ infection so I didn't try to give her bottles. I'll take her to daycare again today and I'll ask the caregivers to offer a bottle now that she seems to be better. Fingers crossed for me!
Jessiecat - don't feel silly... If you knew how I am feeling at this moment... Yesterday I had a huge meltdown
I don't know about you but I'm perfectionist so I had dreamed of a perfect adaptation week, when DD would accept the bottle and come back to my breast happily, that I would have time to get used to the idea of leaving her there, that I would have the chance to explain the caregivers about her routine... Due to this illness, my plan went to pot! DH got upset because he said that I can't predict what is not predictable... As Candice has said, every LO is different and that's BW is for, reading our LO cues.... I just wonder that it could be easier (no pun intended)!
I've got to go...DD is waking up from a nap and I'll take her to the daycare. I'll keep you posted
Hugs to all
Lidia
