Thought I'd better pop in and let you all know that I'm still here!!! I've just had a really crazy week and haven't had time to post!! We've been out and about quite a bit, which has been really great, but I'm just soo exhausted from it all, so a day home today has been just lovely!!
We've had a few dramas with Luke throughout the week too - he's been extremely upset after feeds and at one point, was refusing to feed! It was sooo distressing but luckily we had an appointment with the paedetrician (sp?) and as I suspected, he does have refux. He's always been a sicky baby but it wasn't really upsetting him until now and it's certainly hasn't been affecting his weight gain (the big boofer)!! So they're reluctant to do too much about it at this stage but I think I'm going to have to go back as it's really upsetting him now. I've just had him screaming at the top of his lungs for the last hour and there's nothing I can do. Actually the doc told us we could give him a little bit of mylanta, so I might run out and get some - it's so distressing seeing him so upset - he's obviously in soo much pain, my poor little man!! Thankfully, he's asleep now and he's not doing it after every feed, so I'm still praying its going to improve again!
On a brighter note, we had our first long stint between feeds the night before last. My good little boy went 7.5 hours between feeds. Of course, it started at 6.30pm, so I didn't quite get enough sleep out of it but it's given me hope. I'm just trying to work out how we managed to do it coz last night, he was back to about 4 and 5 hours between feeds - still good but man, 7.5 hours would just be heaven if it happened at the right time!!
Anyway, thats enough from me right now - sorry for another selfish post.
