just a quicky, poor Bj's temp went up a little due to his needles, but, after his 4 hour nap and a big feed, he was chatting away and smiling at us, despite his temp being above 38!
A dose of panadol had it back down to 37.1 within 45 minutes and he's off to bed again, and so am I.
On a poo note, he's been screaming in pain with poos for a few weeks, and had still been on the lactulose.
MCHN suggested trying more water (we'd tried that before but it was so hard to get into him and he kept spitting it out so it didn't work).
Some watered down breast milk last night and today has helped, and he just took 10ml of water by itself (he only needs an extra 10-30ml a day to help, so we are well on the way).
I'm off to bed now but will try and do personals in the morning...sorry!
but it seems my pregnant use of the fit ball triggered him, he now is put to sleep in 10 minutes flat on this thing!). But at bedtime, I usually have arsenic hour, so I go and sit on the rocking chair while he wails his woeful tale at me for a while, and I occasionally offer a finger to suck or a boob but he usually rejects it all in preference for a cry. When he's worn himself out, but still crying, I hand him to DH who has the magic touch. I PREFER to boob him to sleep on the bed or in the rocking chair, but with this colic/arsenic hour bullcarp, I have to wait it out, about 3 months they stop with that nonsense. Then I'll just boob him to sleep in my bed and sneak away. DH holds him in his lap all night, until midnight or so, so I can sleep. This allows him to resettle easily and comforts Ci. DH brings him to me at his post-midnight feed and he just stays asleep dreamfeeding all night. If he was a bottle baby or in a cot, I know for sure he would be a nightmare, I don't know what I'd offer him through the night to keep him down!
