NC here. I'll try not to waffle.
DD is 5mo and seems to acquire a new problem daily - she had tongue tie that wasn't picked up for quite some time, has severe reflux (that she's on medication for), has been on a breastfeeding strike since coming down with a cold four weeks ago, is refusing to take a bottle and the latest is that she will not settle in her cot and last night I had to hold her all night as she would not even be put down in the bed next to me.
DH has been very helpful this week - coming home early yesterday, holding her from 11pm until 1am last night so I could get 2 hours precious sleep and taking her for a walk this morning for another hour and being late to work so I could have another nap.
Tonight he's out a whisky tasting and I'm out of my mind with worry as DD looks dehydrated (although I'm still finding wet nappies), seems so, so thirsty and yet I can hardly get a drop of milk into her. I'm currently cradling her in the dark hoping she'll just keep sleeping. We're living in a foreign country where I have no family or close friends to call on.
I know IABU as he has done his fair share and needs a break too, but I can't face tonight alone. Thoughts?
