Hi there,

We went tothe GP's today after the community nurse suggested if Saoirse wasnt any better to go to the local GPs. Our usual GP is off having a knee reconstruction so we went with a recommended GP up the road. Lovely Egyptian Dr who was just fabulous. Turns out our little one has colic. He suggested that SMA Gold was not recommended as it causes constipation. Recommended Norcal formulae designed for babies with Colic as well as Infocol drops. Gave some great suggestions as well as laying the baby on her side for sleep with rolled up blankets on her back and stomach area. We touched on how we were demand feeding & exhaustion was settling into our routine. Every 3hrs with a 7hr break from 11pm through to 6am and offer her tepid water during these hours so that she begins to form a sleep habit. We'll see how we go but its finally great to get some good recommendation and the possibility of sleep rather than waking every 2-3hrs sounds like bliss....

I beleive tomorrow and Monday maybe incredibly challenging but she should settle into a routine from Tues/Wed onwards. Lets hope!

Anyone else having challenges?

Hope you're all doing well. Im feeling like Im aching all over & flu like. Sleep would be nice... Oh well mid week and a few hours sleep will be enough to keep me going....

Lots of love,
