Well it is 3am, and am back on shift! Am so glad my hubby doesn't have to be in an office at 9am, so we can split the night in 2, otherwise we would be going insane.
So sorry for not responding during the day but my BBB who was happy and smiley when awake during the day, has unfortunately disappeared :-((. Generally now when awake at any time he is screaming. We bought a baby bjorn sling and it would appear that it is going to be a godsend. Am still nervous I will fall over and squash him - but hey I am nervous about everything at the moment, so will just add that to the list. :-))
Thanks for all the positive statements about Dr Lindley - it is actually because of mumsnet we are going to see him. I don't think there is any better recommendation than other mums. Might tell him "I am here because Buttonmoon said you were fab"
Also Buttonmoon, we bought the Dr Brown's bottles this morning! My DH said he thought they were a gimic - and I uttered the immortal words "but mothers on mumset said they were working...." so we now have 2! I think this phrase may start coming out of my mouth a lot! However, given we are now also on Gaviscon (another emergency trip to GP with a "you have to help me...") - can anyone tell me what number teat they used. It appears that Gaviscon thickens milk and it is not flowing easily through the teat - should we get number 2 / number 3 teats?
Finally, for the first time in a week, the little one is currently not asleep on my chest as I write this. Hubby in his shift, put him to sleep on his side in his cot (arm outstretched, small towel wedge in front of him). I am sat in the spare bedroom next door, can hear him through the walls, through both open doors and see/hear him on the video monitor (samsung - amazing - definitely recommend). There is no way I would go asleep when he is on his side - am going to speak to HV about it before I consider it. But has anyone found that sleeping on their side makes a difference to reflux babies? He still makes a lot of noise (i.e. grunts/growns every 2 minutes) but is actually calm which is first ie. haven't had to pick him up to stop the pain escalating..
