So as i said in my last post Alisyn HAD nipple confusion!
I tried everything to beat it and WE finally did .... TONIGHT! We tried the SNS and well she wouldn't even attempt to latch ... so i reverted back to the nipple shield and she latched! and she was using the shield for about 4 or 5 days until tonight when out of the blue I tried to get her to latch without the shield and well it worked! it was at the end of a feeding so i didn't expect her to go long and well she went for about a minute or so and then she fell asleep. So next time she was hungry i tried right out of the gate without the shield and she did an entire feeding without the shield! and she just finished another feeding without the shield ... im stoked to say the least! I am however a little scared to see how she will be during the night without it ... My daughter is a quick learner , she is also very strong for a almost 2 week old baby... it makes mama and daddy proud ♥ .
Reflux and the battle wages on ....
So we went to a doc appt today to get Alisyn tested for reflux because to me it seemed like she was spitting up more then the norm, and well the doc who did the test said she did have reflux but the she would prob grow out of it and the as long as it wasn't projectile not to worry to much .. but worry i shall until i find out if she is gaining weight. I think she has gained some weight, she is a little poop machine! not to mention when she pees well she pees tons LOL. She has her 2 week check up on Thursday and i will post again to let everyone know hows she is doing.
P.S. i am using Mother Bliss Gripe Water to help with her reflux, it is only day 2 and not sure how its doing yet so i will keep everyone updated on that as well :]]
Its awesome to read all this stuff!! Your such a good mommy! :)
