There is no way I am going to be able to do personals!
But I do want to say Jess - you're her mum, you do what is best for you, her and Dad. You're family may be well meaning, in which case I suggest saying thank you but this is how I am doing it. If they arn't well meaning then tell them this is how you are doing it and if they can't support you then perhaps they shouldn't come over anymore. I know it's hard but at the end of the day you need to do what YOU need to do - not anyone else...
AFM - I'm hoping someone can help.
Teaghan was put on Karicare formula in the hospital but she projectiled every bottle - straight away and at least 3/4's of it.
So on the second midwife visit at home, she suggested we go onto Soy formula as that was what my first born was on.
This she kept down but we discovered she was having trouble with wind and attaching to the teats in her bottle so we changed those (after buying one of just about every bottle on the market) to Mam Ultivent. This has helped a bit but she was taking almost an hour to bring her wind up so the chemist said to try Infacol. There is a difference when we use it and when we don't but she is still difficult to burp. Is there anything else we could use that is better??
Also - she has a cold and green snot. I got some saline drops and use those when she gets snuffly and lately her temp has been a little up but not burning.
The last 2 days she has been off her bottles - she was taking 130mls and now we struggle to get 100mls in...
She has also started projectile vomiting half her bottles - not every time she feeds, but about every second bottle. It seems to happen when she gets a little warm... Should I be worried? What should I do? Should I take her to hospital or the doctor?
I think to put my mind at ease, I'll take her to the doctor...
Thanks in advance girls... Will try to be a better baby buddy!
