Resisting the title Wonky Cycles R Us....boarding the Maca Train to BFP Central!

[CelticNiamh]

Hello ladies

Celtic, Isla is refusing feeds and has been for the last 8 weeks I have been backwards and forwards to the doctors and health visitors and to be very honest they have been crap. It's obvious she is in pain as she will suck for a while and then break off the bottle and scream. It takes about 40 minutes to feed her and some days she will only take 2/3 bottles.
Isla has been on gaviscon since she was very small for silent reflux. I think it has something to do with this but the doctors won't prescribe anything else, she is now on antibiotics for an ear infection and it's the second one. Isla was seen by 2 doctors last week and both said she was fine, I demanded another appointment yesterday and saw another doctor who promptly diagnosed another ear infection. The trouble is she is gaining weight and looks healthy, but babies with silent reflux normally do. It's like banging my head against a brick wall. We are going to see what happens in the next 2 weeks and if there is no improvement we are taking her private. I can't stand to watch her in this pain any longer
I have started a thread on the health and fitness page called 5 stone too loose. Come and join us if you want some weight loss buddies. We are just helping each other along. Not everyone has 5 stone to loose some have more and some have less. Congratulations on your weight loss

Char, Any Day now How exciting

Dandy, Never

poor little thing, you know the ear infections would make her cry when feeding and if she has had two in the last 8 weeks then I say thats why she is refuesing feeds, as when she sucks it would really hurt! I noticed that with my DD when I was breastfeeding her if I fed her on the left she scream and pull off and wouldnt feed, brought her to the doc and it was an ear infection all ways knew when she got another when she did the same thing. I used to suffer with them all the time so painful, glad you stuck to your guns and brought her back, I say that when she is over her meds she will be fine and go back to feeding normally for you. if she doesnt then may look at the reflux is she on solids yet or are you waiting on till 6 months I know its 6 months for BF is it the same for FF LOL does that help the reflux.

Oh I will check that thread out! my weight is coming off slow and steady Im ok with that as long as it keeps coming off, lost 1 and a half this week yay, so think that makes it a pound off a stone since I had Paul and 7 pounds in weight watchers ha took me 7 weeks to lose 7 pounds LOL I joined when Paul was 6 weeks will need to but some new clothes soon some of my old favourites a lovely demin skirt I had from newlook is like a scak now its so big! thats a and a moment as I loved that skirt hehehe

Charx how you feeling any plans to help the process along

Hi celtic, I have just started weaning today and she loved it

I was told not to start her off until she took more milk but i have stuck two fingers up at that lol. How am i going to listen to a bloody doctor who can't even find an ear infection. and it's not like she's my first

Isla is starting to take her feeds more normally today and hasn't been as grumpy.
Ella suffered and still does with her ears so it must be a family thing lol.

Hope your all ok. I will look out for you on the 5 stone thread

char - i'm good honey. gearing up for DH's visit. he gets to be here end of july until mid august or so. hoping we have a shot, but not banking too much on it at this point. we're both just so ready to be together it's hard to even worry about a it would be a nice surprise though! i can't believe LO is still sticking around. lots of prayers for you that comes out soon so you can meet!

sparkle - thanks hun. i'm doing well. on leave right now because of surgery but everything went great during surgery and the doctors were amazing.

also - yes it's our new dog axl. he is a great dane. DH's family breeds great danes and we got our pick of this last litter. he is only 8 weeks old and already HUGE! he is going to be a horse by the time i'm home next year. he is staying with my mother in law while DH is in flight medic school, but he will soon be with DH and his room mate and their home. in the mean time, my boxer is keeping me company here in germany i attached some pics for y'all!!
