Hi everyone

Hoping that everyone is having a better time than us. The last few days have been horrendous - just hoping that we are coming into a better time now.

Since Friday, Fraser has decided to only take half of his feed, whoch consequently means he needs fed twice as often. Through the night, I have just been getting back to bed when he wakes wanting his next part of his feed. We have tried everything - we thought it was tiredness so tried keeping him awake, but he still refused point blank to take any more than about 60 mls max. It's like you are trying to poison him if you actually get the bottle in, but most of the time, the jaws are clamped fixed shut and he's just not interested. He hasn't done a poo since Saturday morning, and is having really bad wind, so we think that the constipation and wind combo are making him think his belly is full, therefore not wanting to take his feed.

I spent most of yesterday in tears and just not knowing how I'm going to cope. When DH got home last night, he came in thinking he could fix it all, but was quite shocked when he realised that he had been screaming like that all day. Luckily, I asked him to take Fraser out in the pram, and I got an hour of sleep, which made the world o f difference!

I got him to take 2 full feeds through the night and he went for 3 hours after each. This morning so far, he has only snacked every hour, but just got a poo as I'm typing this, so hopefully things on the improve!
