Another night of no sleep here prev night okish but tonight down at 8.30pm for 2hrs otherwise up feed fall asleep down in cot snuffle snuffle/reflux milk up n swallow it - snuffling n refluxing seem combined n linked.
Going to ask health visitor when she comes today about cmpi as ds has a tongue tie diagnosed at 1day n told by many professional in hospital he has one but as feeding well do nothing.
We have green mucusy poos here stringy with bits, no just wet nappies all poopy n about 9-12 in 24hrs, incredible stinky bottom wind, bring in up milk after feeds, extremely snuffly after feeds worse if laid down, frequent feeding (prob to settle discomforts), some screaming at breast latching pulling away relatching this is usually after a good feed n being settled in chair n then wanting a top up, in night all this waking feeds for 5-10mins n falls asleep as not really hungry n is tired n then repeats pattern.
Left breast is v painful nipple feels like razor blades cutting through when feeding despite good latch n have breast pain between feeds like a shooting nerve pain, right breast nipple can be sore, had treatment 2weeks ago for thrush n no kmpr so prob not that n baby def doesn't have thrush.
Baby is 5 weeks on Xmas day
As a children nurse and maternity night nanny I know the reflux is only mild and don't really want meds for it but the snuffly ness it's causing is meaning no sleep.
Crib tilted at 45 degrees n tried saline nose drops but makes no difference as nose not blocked.
Any ideas anyone?
