Nelle- Wow! River did fantastic overnight! Can't help with the clingy/ screaming business. Couldve been just a bad day? If he keeps doing it maybe just call yr MCHN for advice.
Magic- Ashleigh fights the bottle. My MCHN told me just to go out and she will have to take the bottle then, and she thinks she'll probably take to it better fi I'm not around, but I'm too scared to do that yet, I couldn't stand the thought of leaving her distressed!
As for waking babies, its rarely an issue here but on the very rare days she does sleep alot I don't let her go longer than 3hrs 30mins - 3hrs 45mins.
Rach75- I got Ash some Infacol drops, we were having probs in the mornings with wind pain that she was crying with the pain so before her 3am feed I give her the drops and she still has alot of wind at the same time and still grunts like anything but isn't upset by it anymore.
Ashleigh is another evening cluster feeder, I don't mind too much cause it prevents her from whinging and she'll get put down at 8pm and doesn't need feeding again til 3am, well last couple nights dragged it out til 3:45 so bit by bit we're getting longer.
She does still feed quite often in the day too, approx every 2.5 hours, thats why its so hard for me just to get time to myself. If Df is home i feed her then rush over to the shops, have quick look around and get rush back before next feed. Even though its short time it is nice to get that little break.
I get so annoyed every night after the 3am feed i just can't get back to sleep! I spend bout 40 mins with Ash feeding burping nappy etc then another hour or so tossing and turning and then don't get much sleep in befoer Ash wakes again or Df wakes for work! Then I really struggle to drag myself out of bed.
let us know what Dr says.
