lct - I agree with peanutter - also it's likely nothing to do with your bbs or milk hon. W was the same about 10 days ago and still has a couple of really fussy feeds during the day. We've been using a bottle once a day or so too but I don't think it's anything to do with that as she feeds beautifully when sleepy or relaxed. After lots of reading like you and talking to the ABA I worked out it was a combo of her being over-tired and having a forceful letdown. It's almost always because she's tired or having an off day though. It's so frustrating and can be a bit upsetting too, I totally hear you! Hang in there, am sure Y is getting the good stuff and you are doing a fantastic job with him. Best of luck with the electric pump, I have a mini Medela one and it's great. If yours is a bit uncomfy when you get it, make sure you have the right size flange; I went up a size and it made a huge difference.
P, good to hear the drugs are doing their thing and you're on the mend. Hope you had a good weekend.
Miss E, not sure about the reflux but it sounds like it could be related to the osteo adjustments perhaps...? Glad you had a good first day flying solo with your little men; mine is next week.
Sararose, your dinner sounds amazing! Saw a pic of the bread, looked delicious. Excellent that Miss H is sleeping like an angel.
DonnaJayne, I also love the name Pippa. Wonderful that she's doing so well - but hopefully you get some good news on the reflux next week. Good luck with packing for the big move.
Elocin, what's been happening with you guys? RE night time, realized we've been under-dressing W too. Tonight it's singlet, footed long-sleeve onsie, cotton swaddle (she won't settle with arms out) and two light blankets up to her chin. We also have an oil heater in her room. Have had much better arvo naps with this too.
Nickers, how are you and Mr R? Skye, Mylitta, Sloane and everyone else - hello.
AFM: had a wonderful weekend at the south coast, didn't want to leave! W did so well, conked out in the car both ways and had four-hour naps in the evenings. Also slept overnight in three-hour blocks, including sleep-in til 8:30! A bit restless last night but it was poop day, so 'The Gruntening' as we call it went from 4:30-6:30. Still, she was pretty relaxed all weekend and seemed to love the travel bassinette as it's smaller and more snuggy than the one at home; so we're now using it for all sleeps. Weather was gorgeous and it was nice to have the in-laws look after food and have lots of W cuddles. Not much planned for this week, six-week check plus shots, first trip to Costco and if I'm brave, a movie with a buddy while DH plays SAHD. It's his last week of leave so gotta make the most of it.
Just be careful with a beanie on him over night that it doesnt slide over his face when hes wriggles, I cant even put one on a in the car because she moves her head so much!
NightWas long but she slept well when she eventually settled at one
