Hey there, I am hoping that Red's 'reflux' will be outgrown. A couple of the other moms have commented that their babies have had 'immature digestive systems' and that up to the age of 3 months they seemed quite sensitive to and spat up a lot, but then outgrew it. I am giving infacol (mylicon i think in the us) and gripe water, don't know if it is doing much but it makes me feel better!!
Are you breast or bottle feeding, how is it going? I am breast feeding and it is going well, but i am so sick of the multiple night wakings :cry: :cry: Last night it was 2.15am (up for over an hour trying to get him to take a full feed - which he wouldn't), awake again at 4.15am (only 45 mins after going to sleep, and again would not take a full feed), then again at 6.30am. At this time he would not feed at all, but fussed for about 20 mins until he did a huge poop and then slept till 8.30am. I could just cry, and i think at 4.15am this morning i actually did. Y'know i do not mind getting up to feed him, but if he won't feed properly it just winds me up - WHY??!!
We are having evening problems too, in that he won't go down at 7pm. I think this may be down to my supply, as with Ruby it dropped dramatically at this time because i was so tired, then picked back up again at 10pm. What i normally do is give one side before bath, then the other afterwards, but tonight i am going to give both sides before bath, then a bottle of formula afterwards. At least then i'll KNOW he has a full tummy and can't be fussing because he is hungry!! Actually the only way we can get him to settle if he is overtired is with a dummy, so i guess you are not alone anymore BJ!!
I hate to seem like i am complaining about my little man, he is very sweet and i love him so much, but he is hard work, especially with Ruby around and her getting her top canines too :roll:
How are your days going??
