Anyone combination/mixed fed?

[Shiv52]

I would do two weeks meds then two meds plus dairy free x

This ^^^

I totally agree - I never cut dairy until we noticed the ranitidine wasnt really working. Try 2 weeks meds and see, if you don't get much improvement then I would trial the dairy free (alongside the meds).

What's your thoughts on combi feeding now then? I know you said you don't wanna pump but when I was feeling overwhelmed with all the feeds I pumped a few times throughout the day (just after feeds and only for 5 mins or so) which gave me enough milk for DP to do the 11pm feed. It meant I could go to bed at about 9 and get a decent 4 or 5 hours unbroken sleep it saved my sanity

Yep will do this.

It seems G has decided to give up napping in the sling, buggy, carseat, anywhere!

Honestly, if she is no better or worse by the time she is 6 weeks so 9 days I would start ed OR see the dr again.at this age that is a lot of time to see no improvement but that's just my opinion

[cuckoochick]

Thanks everyone! I don't think she was not sleeping due to discomfort as such Sara, just that she is just like her big sister was: far too alert and nosey!!! Plus it's really hot here again and I don't think that helped today. Am trying to stay relaxed about her sleep and mostly I am not obsessing too much but it's harder with G as she cries loads when OT which C never did! She just got hyper!

Am especially trying to go with the flow as 6wk growth spurt stuff will be striking so I'm giving it a couple of weeks and then will try to establish a more consistent EAS!!! Ha ha!!!! Who am I trying to kid?!

Both girls are tucked up in bed so I've sent DH to the shop for chocolate cake! sending virtual slices to all helping us through this

[ZacsMumme]

No prob Nicola, if her pain symptoms don't ease though..I'm nt sure if she spits up acid smelling spill, if so this is what you would want to ease along with other reflux symptoms x

[cuckoochick]

Yes, the spit-up has already seemed less acidic and curdy. Tonight will be a good test to compare to last night.

[Shiv52]

Fingers crossed for a better night Hun.

And I'll take some chocolate cake!!!

[cuckoochick]

LOL!! Me too!! And you are much more helpful than me!! Sorry Nic!

[cuckoochick]

Ah see that's the good thing about virtual cake: anyone can have as big a piece as they desire and you are both more than worthy of a piece. Thanks again ladies!
