Aaahh ok...Im here with more than 2 minutes to spare!
Whilst he's still not right, he's much improved.
We have switched BJ over to formula, and dropped his Zantac to 0.5ml (instead of 1ml) 3 times a day.
He is settling alot faster (and usually by himself with needing to be held or patted), sleeping much better (2X4 hour stints last night...I don't know myself this morning!).
He is still a little grunty and thrashy...and will definately be still paedying this week for sure, but he's much improved...chances are it was the drop in Zantac, but we are likely going to stick to formula now as we don't really want to put him through the pain of going backwards if we go back to breastfeeding and it turns out that was the problem NOT the Zantac.
Now that all made sense in my head, just not sure if it will to you guys, if not, sorry...its been a LONG weekend.
Right, personals (Im sorry for the delay!)
Kirsty_lee: I HATE people that think they know our kids better than us, the Dr I first went to about BJ's reflux was the same as the nurse you saw...I will NEVER see him again, he works in the clinic we go to, but I always request anyone but him now! Our clinic is good at squishing people in too...and if I say Im calling for an appointment for BJ they actually say "Do you need to just be fitted in now, or can you wait for the next available appointment" which I think is great, they even did it back when I was preganat and had severe gastro, I rang and said I needed to see someone for first available appt as Im 28 weeks and think I have gastro, they said "come straight down" I walked in the door and they said "Dr Courts patient just finished, go right in" They are great!
Grubi:Im glad you enjoyed your time out....We had a great time for DH's birthday last week when my boss babysat, even though I wished I could be in 2 places at once!
Sharon:I agree about the nice enclosed space, but in the end, BJ was wrapped (as I think Ollie is?) and then with the anti roll pillow, and the bed being short sheeted (I HATE putting them all the way down the end of the cot!) he was pretty enclosed anyway.
How much formula does Ollie take in each feed, and how far apart? Just trying to see what Bj's doing in comparison!
Nettie: LOVE the pic of Liam in your sig!
ShoegalDon't stress too much about the percentages (but it's kinda nice to know where they fit!), BJ is in the bottom 3 a fair bit, occasionally the bottom 25...what can I say, he's a pipsqueak! But the MCHN is always pleased with his progress so I'm happy! Baxter is a little cutie though!
