Izzy given we're discussing babies not prize marrows (thanks to my sarcastic HV for that one!) I think that whilst any weight loss might seem scary that actually sounds good in terms of his long term health that J has fallen down the centiles a wee bit - especially if he was once 13 kg as that would be the same as Jonas and Pass's P put together. He seems to be doing so well now he's on an exclusion diet. It was really tough and you've had such a slog of it but you have done such good work. You and VQ have gone through so much with your wee lads I hope you take some time to feel really proud of yourselves for being so amazing and coping with so much shit in the face of often pish advice from the HCP meant to be 'helping' you.
VQ I think continuing to sterilise makes mucho sense - I'd do the same in your boat. It adds yet more work to your already overflowing workload but you're doing the best you can for him. I hope illness and feeding issues fuck the fuck off, and fuck off some more for you. If you think it's reflux I'd push the HCP to up his meds a wee bit and see if that encourages his eating and reduces his vomming and upset. Poor sausage.
Horsey poor E - what a way to spend his birthday. Still at least you know what it is and he's on the mend.
I've established without my Star Trek 'WTF is pissing off my baby' detector gadget that I don't think it's reflux that's disturbing Jonas' sleep at the moment as he is eating really heartily and if it's reflux he usually goes into a bit of solid food avoidance due to a sore throat. So it's either teeth, growth spurt, trace dairy or just because - that I'm seeing him for multiple night feeds. Sigh... you never know this time next week he could be sleeping well again. I shouldn't complain as I am getting 7 hours a night but usually in 2 or 3 chunks and that isn't what it was. Ack maybe I've just broken him....
