Great news about Hornsby Hospital and the fabulous lactation consultant. Im sure you've been at wits end trying every trick you know but thankfully now you've got a few new techniques, Amelia is going to just be a dream baby.
Saoirse and I are doing well. She is a little congested at the moment with a few sneezes and the occaisional cough. No temps thank goodness but to couple that she seems to be either somewhat on the side of reflux and or colic. Have the community nurse coming today at 10am so timing couldnt have been better - we'll sort this one out quick smart. Saoirse is incredibly unconfortable just after a feed with the usual possetting. We've been really struggling to settle her with last night a real challenge. Tonight has been good and have gone back to some settling techniques.
Outside of that she's feeding every 2.5hrs for approx. 20 - 30 minutes and a top up feed some ten minutes after the initial feed.
Im beginning to have a sleep in the afternoon when she goes down, has made an enormous difference.
Hubby cooked dinner tonight, popped up the road to get a few things and brought back a dozen red roses! What a sweetie.. We're going over to Mum & Dad's on Friday night for them to play with Saoirse and baby sit for a few hours. He's asked me out on a "date" which I thought was really thoughtful so off to dinner and a romantic walk along The Esplanade under the stars & moonlight it will be. I pinch myself often & much knowing that like many of you ladies, the support of your husband/partner at times like this can give you an even greater sense of how deep your relationship & love can be.
Would be keen to hear of anyone elses experience with colic and how you've been able to settle your bubs.
