Thanks Amy... there is just so much conflicting info about feeding a newborn. The midwife told me at the hospital that it was fine to go up to 6 hours without a feed at first then I've read that they shouldn't go longer than 4 hours! So its very confusing!
It seems like she wants to cluster feed at night..its so tiring..and sore!
I've got the Midwife tomorrow so I'll see what she says about it! X

So the health visitor sent us back to the hospital today as he hadn't put weight on this week and was still vomiting up most of his feeds. They reckon he has reflux which is what I suspected on Monday. So we now have gaviscon to try with every feed and hopefully that will settle my little upset bubba. Hate seeing him like this xx

 

[clarep1905]

Oh bless him Julie, must be so horrible seeing him in pain like that fingers crossed the gaviscon works for him xx

 

[sarahlouise86]

Aww poor wee guy...hope it helps him xx

 

[amylouise1989]

Awh bless him Julie! Hope the gaviscon works, xx

 

[julie2475]

Well he's just had a feed with the gaviscon and he still spewed everywhere but he didn't seem in the same discomfort so I suppose that's a start x

Wahoo!

 

[nds]

presume it's normal to feel like you're doing a bit of a crap job already? so clueless!

[Crackers]

Completely normal - but rest assured you are NOT doing a crap job! The fact that you're worrying about stuff just shows how much you care about your son and want the best for him. Far from doing a crap job!

Xxx

 

[nds]

Nic I spent all night in tears last night as Violet just cried and screamed all night and I just didn't know what to do to comfort her. I had to give her to Hubs to calm down because I got myself in such a state! It is so hard...I think the hormones have a big part in feeling rubbish too!

Nice to see a lot more of us over here now

Sarah that's a great weigh, he must be loving his milk

Ah Amy Happy Birthday! Are you going to get a take away or anything tonight? X
