She decided either she didn't like the new bottle design or the milk. But she was angry or at least super frustrated and starving when we tried to feed her about 11.45pm. She had been nursing hard all day and the "restaurant" needed a short break. But she wasn't having any of it. So I fed her. For a long time. Well, long for her. And then she was fussy until 1.20am. We had even given her mylicon but that didn't seem to help...
We were running out of burping/comforting positions when she let out a big burp. We kept trying to burp her but then quickly realized she was actually hungry again. And after a few quick drinks, fell asleep. She must have been exhausted since at the 3.30am feeding she got up, ate in about 5 minutes, and then passed out asleep until 6am. And then was modorra for about 45 minutes.
When she woke up and ate around 7am, we gave her a bath. Today is cold so she wasn't happy about bathing, and peed on Ismael (and the bed) and then threw up a little after getting clean... But then she fell asleep shortly after being dressed. (Is this tedious enough yet?) I'm pretty convinced it matters less what I eat and more of what's going on inside her. I think she's growing a LOT inside and so needs sleep and eating and that poor belly isn't digesting well enough to get her both relief and satisfied eating at the same time.
Nothing says love like feeding your child while she "bites" down harder while simultaneously trying to pull away AND fart/poops. I think if you can be proud and feel love for someone under those conditions, you've got yourself a baby you call your own :)
Attention parents!! If you have any advice for this we are all ears: about every 3rd feeding (time of day doesn't seem to matter) she gets hiccups and then is up for an extra hour. Once that passes she is super tired. Yawning and the lot but won't allow herself to fully fall asleep. She is like 90% passed out on soneones shoulder and then when we put her down in the bassinet, she wakes herself up. These are the times she is up for like 3-4 hours. The other feedings she is up for eating and then quickly falls asleep for 1-3 hours. Thoughts?

Amor, it's spelled "Modorro" or "Modorra"
ReplyDeleteI fixed it!
ReplyDeleteI used to no nurse at all when Isaiah had the hiccups - but then someone told me it could help them go away faster.. Which makes sence in retrospect. anyway. try nursing through the hiccups
ReplyDeleteShe's a little over 2 weeks so she's going through a crazy growth spurt (developmental and actual size) so she'll seem hungry all the time and you'll feel like you're not producing enough milk. But you are.
