Thanks Jan, I've been waking her every 2.5 hours of sleep and we got 7 feeds in 24hours yesturday which seemed to help her. I was counting from the end of the feed. I will start counting from the start of the feed. She seems to like to sleep alot and have larger feeds like 5 - 6 which means I have to comp more so this is better for the both of us it seems Does that mean your waking your DD to feed her on that schedule? I am pumping once a day to make sure I maintain my supply as in the evenings she seems very tired and might not be draining them properly. Least I will have a stash of BM this way. Providing we are in a quiet place with no distractions she just gets down to business now so BF is less of a strain, I can even doze a bit and she will just finish! It's like a different kid.
Oh BTW, in all the panic about the reflux I realised this morning that yestursday was the first 24hours with no bottle at all. She takes both sides now I wake her earlier and is content. WEW US!
Jan, If that nurse gives you crap just tell her to take a hike, seriously. If the MCHN did that to me when she came for her visit I would have just said well theres the door. People should not treat you like that in your own home imo.
Yeah she arches her back and screams when it flares up. Seems to be at it's worst in the afternoon, so I get as much sleep as I can in between the morning feeds as she dosen't seem bothered by it then. I'm using everything I can to get her to sleep because I know that as soon as she gets overtired like she has been its much much worse. (eg Saturday) Last night was alot better, still took her 45mins with the dummy to get to sleep but at least she slept and didnt scream the house down for hours. We called the Pead this morning and he is bumping our appointment to 3pm tomorrow, as I missed an opening at 9:30am this morning because we were all asleep Doh! But that is good. Hopefully he can give her something to ease her pain in the afternoons/evenings.
Hehe thanks Dan, no that is helpful its pretty much what we are doing, managing her symptoms.
CK, be sure to poke your husband awake when he is next having a nap as a thank you My husband does that stuff all the time, that's how I return the kindness LMAO
