ATM not coping too well, Zoe is extremely demanding and fighting sleep like crazy. Her tummy rumbles so much that I know she is having wind issues or something I am eating is upsetting her but diet wise nothing has changed. Im getting very frustrated and upset and having to leave the room from her. Feeding wont settle her either and I know shes not hungry cause she is feeding well and starts to only fuss at the breast when she is full. She wont comfort suck, nor take a dummy. I havent had more then 4hrs sleep for the last 3-4 nights... this cant possible be ww? it seems way to extreme for that.
Yesterday I realise yes that even though she is bf baby and they can go days without pooing she had not been for 2 days and with the tummy noises.. so we decided last night after 3hrs of crying and fussing to stimulate her bum the way the dr told us to try when she went 6 days at birth and OMG the sheer amount of poop that was in her belly and the gas she let out. It wasnt hard poop very very soft bf runny poo but she just didnt seem to be able to start the process. Hoping that now she should be ok but if not will have to speak to the GP tuesday next week when she has her 6 week check.
Last night I was seriously ready to buy some formula, give her to DH and go far far away.
She did sleep better last night but still fighting sleep after her midnight feed and took a hr after that to go to sleep. Not easy when your eyes are hanging out of you head. You end up in tears.
We had the mchn round yesterday and she is growing and gaining well. She is now 4.85kg, 53cm long and 37cm head. (birth was 3.65kg, 51cm and 35cm head) she is gaining on average 312grams a week.
Hope everyone else is enjoying their newborns and not struggling like me
