She's 11.5 weeks now and I guess its been going on for a week or so to a huge extent, although since birth she has had periods of doing this that come and go. She's generally the worst at the morning feed - around the 9-9.30 am time. I'm sure part of the problem is tiredness but unfortunately there's not much I can do about getting her to bed earlier because I have to get my other girls to kindy and pre-primary (not walking distance either so the poor little love is pulled in and out of the car). Otherwise though she can have these little episodes at any/all of her feeds that basically aren't in the middle of the night.
Her hunger after waking depends on how much/little sleep she's had and again, this first "day" feed is the problem time of day because she is a fantastic night sleeper (touch wood!) so when she wakes at 7.30 am or so she is understandably starving and its generally a really good feed with no fussing. If its only been a couple of hours or so she's not that hungry so we do nappy changes and sometimes even a bit of play first.
I haven't had any diet changes - after the issues I had with DDs 1 and 2 I'm extra careful about what I eat. Luckily DD3 doesn't appear to have any issues with reflux at all though.
Do you think a trip to the LC (again - I think I'm funding this lady's retirement!) is worth it, or just sit it out and see if its a developmental thing?
