Lo is 10 weeks and I'm really struggling with 2 things:
1. He's bf - takes about 7 feeds between 6am and 8pm and sleeps through til 6ish - he's often fed a lot and has put on a lot of weight (14lbs at 8 weeks) - he's often possetted a bit but lately, and it's getting worse he's vomiting huge amounts. Each time he feeds he cry, struggles, waves arms around and then when I take him off to wind he calms down, burps, then vomits so much that it soaks 2 muslins through and often hits the carpet....I'm having to change him constantly and he spits up a bit on everything until next feed - we were using infacol for wind but isn't helping the vomit. I can feed out as it's so stressful.
2. Day naps - he sleeps so well at night but cannot do day naps. Every day is a rigeramole of jig g, walking, shhhing etc sometimes 2 hrs just to get 15 min nap. It gets worse as the day goes so tonight he's been awake since 4 (7.15 now) and screamed for 2.5 hrs...nothing works and in the end he just cries himself to the point of exhaustion.
I dread every day and dh and I often don't eat at night or get to speak to each other at night over the screaming and I'm like a cripple from holding him so much.
I'm really hating this at the moment and I may as well let him just CIO for all the good I do and I've tried everything but it's getting worse......
