Twas the week before Christmas and thankfully mum had the week off School because I came down with a breast infection and had a terrible fever and Madeline's reflux was progressively getting worse until we ended up in Starship. She totally went off feeding and it was a complete fight (and has been since but i am much more cunning). She fed 6 hourly that day and i was totally at my wits end... when Greg got home from work we ate dinner and went into Starship. I was able to express there and Greg fed her by bottle it was a real shocker... we didn't get home till 230am and i was pretty exhausted (Greg started work late the next day). Then that weekend we had the hugest mission with a million things to do and i was still tired and came down with a nasty fever on Sunday night. Much better now and Madeline is a little better having been to the paediatrician and is now taking a higher dose of Losec... up to 15mg a day. This is not really working as well as i'd like as she continues to arch her back and avoid feeding... often only feeding on one side for about 5mins so we're really concerned about her weight gain. She's really happy and bubbly the rest of the time... it's only feeding and some early evening times that she grizzles and rarely cries. So we are pretty blessed... her lovely laid back nature makes all the troubles bearable and we are totally loving her as she grows and develops. She's started to love standing and strains to sit up.
