Hello Layla,
You had a very rough night last night; but luckily we also had your 1st visit to the pediatrician scheduled for this morning at 10:30am.
On Saturday night you were a perfect little angel, feeding at about midnight, gently waking us for diaper change and another feeding at 3:00am, and sleeping through until 7:30am when we woke you for your morning feeding...
Now, Sunday night was quite different, you were completely inconsolable. You were screaming constantly with what we can only guess were gas pains from either your formula which we are using to supplement your mothers milk, or from the learning curve associated with being new to breast feeding? Either way, it was tearing our hearts out to see you in such distress and screaming. Ultimately, you fell asleep on mommy's chest at about 1:00am and slept pretty well. When we woke up this morning, same thing started all over again and mommy was very distraught. Mimi was a great help in soothing you, and picked out your cute outfit for your visit to the pediatrician.
When we arrived, you were still screaming; but I think you worked some of it out right there in the waiting room, which meant another diaper change while at the Dr.
Your new Dr was great an helped us to realize that we were not doing anything wrong an that baby's sometimes just cry!! He said you had a perfect exam, gained back some of your weight, your color was perfect, lungs clear (obviously), etc. He recommended something to help with your gas and an alternative formula which we hope will make you more comfortable?
Please, please, please feel better...I hate to see both you an your mommy so upset!!
Do you like your Dr's outfit? I picked the monkey's :)
Love you like crazy!!
