Hey girls!
Today's impossible for me to catch up as Mika has had colic ALL day!
He eats, we take off his gasses, he sleeps 45 minutes, and then we have about 2 hours of crying!
He has pooed just once!

Pedi just prescribed some drops for him! I hope it helps us through the night!


Happy weekend, girls!

 

[Barhanita]

Sorry Pola. Lena has been pretty fussy for the last couple of days too. Last night was very hard, I hope tonight is better. Right now she is asleep on her daddy's chest. I hope she'll wake up in a while, eats and then goes back to sleep for 3-4 hours.

 

[bella21]

pola hope you can get some sleep!

I'm STILL losing down below and it's now over 6 weeks! With my first two it was no longer than 2 weeks. I'm just using liners now but still losing. Sorry for TMI but (sorry for TMI) I have also recently lost loads more of what looks like mucous plug?!?! Anyone had that? I have my six week check on Monday going to ask then.

Seterai- sorry the TT wasn't spotted earlier. Seems to be a standard check here as our HV checked on the first appointment. It should be a standard check as, based on this thread, I didn't realise how common it is! Hope you get things sorted soon

Pola- hope Mika settles for you soon. Poor little man. I'm so lucky to have never dealt with colic. Must be very draining.

@angel, he was checked by multiple people and apparently someone noticed he had a tie but didn't think it was bad enough to warrant a fix since he could bottle feed (even though he can't breastfeed) and didn't tell us about it. For all I know all the people who saw him noticed it.

I'm at a loss ladies and Im going crazy. I feel bad even writing this but I'm having a really hard time bonding with chase. he cries alllllll the time. and its not just crying its wailing and screaming at the top of his lungs until his face turns purple. he may stay content for 10-20 minutes at a time if I'm lucky and then he cries again. he kicks his legs like he's in pain or constipated, even after he just pooped. it used to just be at one time during the night 8-10 or 11-1 now its all day fussing and crying he has a lot of reflux symptoms too i think, he hiccups like 3 times a day, spits up every time he eats, cries after he eats, makes this weird gulping sound that sounds like something is trying to come up and then he cries after that happens. I just don't know what to do I'm going insane by myself while OH is at work, I don't even have time to eat anymore let alone pee. He also fights his sleep all day because he cries so much and wears himself out and then can't sleep. The longest he napped today was 20 minutes at a time and hell stay awake for 2-3 hours except for little 10 minute drift offs in my arms and the second i put him down he screams. I feel like such a bad mother. I know that I'm not, Im doing everything i can think of to try and keep him happy and soothe him I just don't know what else to do anymore.

colic/reflux/gas?? any ideas?

Sounds exactly like my little fellow, I went and seen the paed, RELUX! Started on nexium 2x daily, have to keep him 30 degree elevated, and give 2-3 ml of adult mylata when unconsulable crying... That was 1 1/2 weeks ago, different baby now, so settled, no more crying, actuly went shopping with my 14th old and him today with no problems... I've been leaving him at mums as he wouldn't stop crying and too stressful in shops...
Hope you get the help you need, no good to see bubs in pain

 

[JolleyGirl86]

Pola hope Mika will settle for you and you can rest

Mac they should help with gas. That's why I'm getting them for Jaylie. I'm getting her Flora Baby


Angel I have the same stuff, I am asking the Dr Tuesday at my 6 week.

Hope everyone has a great weekend

I went about 3 days no bleeding. . Even stopped wearing pads and then boom it came back! Nothing for last 2 days again, but scared to give up pads!? Costing me a fortune!

Happy 1 mth to my MellyBelly!

Lol xx

 

[Dragonfly]

I think something was wrong with me I stopped bleeding like a week after which is so weird. Today discharge looked tinged I better not be getting period! I want at least a year without one.

I have an abcess in my gum and look like I have been eating golf balls.

 

[pola17]

Thanks girls! After a horrible night, pedi asked to switch formula!
I'm also heating this thing you place on their stomach.
My poor little fellah cried non stop for so many hours, that he just fell asleep!

Bar: I'm wishing you a better night!

Morning, girls!

 

[pola17]

Oh and happy first month, Melody!

 

[JenzyKY]

Pola, hope a sensitive formula will help!

Henry has been sleepy the last 2 days. Maybe it's a growth spurt. I don't know. He slept from 10-6 last night.

Mac, don't be giving raptor root beer with the game.

 

[babyhopes2010]

hows everyone? sorry havent kept up to date with everyone and whats happening. ill read back soon

 

[lolpants]

Ok so OH agreed to feed Melody overnight so I could have a nights sleep.. an now today she is crying all the time and not sleeping! I am so angry, it's obvious OH didn't wind her properly! So much for me getting a break!

Hope the switch works for you Pola!

Lol xx

 

[pola17]

@lol: hope you'll be able to catch a break!

Jenzy: I envy you?

The new formula costs 60 dollars!!!! so, that would be 240 per month for now...
We decided to feed him one last time with the same old formula, with the drops, and take out more than 1 big gass.
He had his bottle at 9:30am it's 11:30 and he hasn't cry yet! Lets hope it was something temporary!

How's your weekend so far??

 

[pola17]

Babyhopes: how's your boy doing?

 

[mac1979]

Pola, hope a sensitive formula will help!

Henry has been sleepy the last 2 days. Maybe it's a growth spurt. I don't know. He slept from 10-6 last night.

Mac, don't be giving raptor root beer with the game.

With the way the Huskers are playing we may need to up it to the hard stuff...apple juice.

We had a good night of sleep last night...a whole seven hour stretch...it was lovely. Now if he could just do that every night before the 4 month sleep regression hits, I would be a happy mama.

One month old Myles was yesterday. I took a pic tonight.

 

[pola17]

DF: Myles is so handsome!!! All your boys are handsome!
