Tabby is suffering, most evenings, with bad colic spells. She is very very fussy from 7pm through to about midnight, in pain, wanting to nurse constantly but then pulling away crying, and in the case of a couple of nights ago - completely inconsolable. It's heartbreaking really. Nothing seems to help... although I've got some gripe water to try for the next spell of it.
She also 'spits up' (chucks up) alot after feeds. We had her 1 month checkup today and the DR doesnt' think it's bad reflux because it's not causing her pain from acid, but it makes for alot of changes of clothing (mine and hers!). I might invest in some bibs!
She's now 9lb, amazingly. Maybe some things will start to fit more now! She's still bang on the 50th percentile for weight, bless. I do love that, love that she's not likely to get the 'oooh big girl' comments like the boys used to get! Her skin is still appalling, covered in these little white newborn spots and looking like she has major acne. I can't wait for that to clear up. She's also extremely smiley now -the DR was very surprised that she's so advanced,, hehe.
I do hope the colic soon gets better in the evenings...... and that she can learn to sleep on her back in her crib. Her tummy is so uncomfortable for her that sleeping on her tummy on her daddy is the only comfortable position.
Tomorrow I am going to see the OB about the now excrutiating pain in the c-section area. I think I must've bust open some internal stitching or something it hurts so much. I need to get it seen to.
