MSE Newborn to 1 year Baby Club 1

Oh Kandboys, forgot to update you, had my growth scan today, and he's estimating 6lb 6oz, so just about bang on average, so I am over the moon with that.

Missy does your babe seem in pain?

I'd nip Roo up to your GP Missy, just to get him checked out, it certainly doesn't sound right to me.

Great news Gilly!

Gillyx

Tell me about it, best stay that way. I don't want a 10lber

drs are closed now kandboys but will make an appointment in the morning.

doglover when he feeds im not sure, i thought he was whinging as the milk wasn't coming out quick enough i cant tell if its a hungry cry or a wind cry, think thats why im struggling

today Ellie has started clamping her mouth shut WHILE feeding. it really hurts DD1 never did that any tips? think i will be shopping for nipple shields tomorrow

Doglover

Missy get to the GP tomorrow.

With reflux babes often cry because they're hungry but feeding hurts so they comfort feed. Not saying it's that but you've got bot nothing to lose by getting LO checked by GP x

Is he latching on properly missy moo? Is he feeding quietly or sucking and slurping, which would have him take in air/ wind.
I was going to suggest trying a dummy too. He could be overeating to comfort himself. If you put your (clean) little finger in his mouth does he suck away at it?
And lastly, is he putting on weight, and doing plenty of nappies?
Agree with kandboys it would do no harm to visit the doctor.

Doglover I think it is best to skip the dream feed for Daniel, as he had been waking at 1:30am after it. When reading back I was thinking, wow, he slept from 8pm to 4am, thats 8 hours. What am i complaining about???

Doglover

Sorry for typo just feeding

Doglover

Stick with it Alison that's fab!
