Just letting you know we are now home from tresillian (sleep school) We spent 6 nights there and made some progress. DD is sleeping much longer in her days sleeps and is generally only waking once a night now to be fed so I am feeling a bit better myself now I am not so exhausted and DD is much happier when she is up and playing as she is not so tired. So all in all I highly recomned the place - was also lovely chatting to other mums in the same situation and the nurses were just lovely and supportive.
Have been trialling DD off her reflux meds (losec) for the past 5 days but will be put back on it tomorrow as her symptoms have started to come back. Was soooo hoping it would have settled down enough by now to control without the meds but oh well as long as she is happy and healthy!
Her feeding issues are "behavioural" and are related to her associating pain with feeding from when her reflux was out of control. Tresillian helped with that aswell but shes gone downhill (again) so am going to be slowly weaning her but have to go slow as I am quite prone to mastitis and blocked ducts.
Hope all you lovely ladies and your bubbies are well - Hard to think they are half a year old. The first 6 months of pregnancy seemed to take forever, whilst the first 6 months of DD's life have flown!
Ery I am glad things are better for you. I am sorry to hear you are going to start weaning, I know how much you wanted to BF. You have done an awesome job to feed her as long as you have, especially with all the hurdles you faced. xoxo
Ery thats great news hun! So glad to hear that Tresillian was for you and that Ella is sleeping much better. What a fantatsic effort you have put in with feeding with so many complications, you have done a wonderful job and should be sooooooo proud of yourself . I hope the reflux settles back down again real soon.
Oz, we are doing BLS here to, I was a bit nervous at first with the gagging and stuff but I have settled down a bit now DD on the other hand, thinks its just great! You're DD is a clever little chicky rockin away, how cute is it when they do that lol
