I am gonna call the pediactrician monday, which I think I should have done days ago. Shane seems like he is in extreme discomfort after eating. I burb him and usually get a few real nice burps but he hates being up on my shoulder or on his belly. Then he makes his poop faces, turns all red, cries and makes faces like he is in pain, sometimes he will fart a lot and that seems to make him feel better. I just don't know if this is normal. That coupled with all the spit up and his feedings are all over the place. It is hard for me to decifer when he should eat next cause he seems to graze. We eat for 5-10mins then burp, then have a fit then will want to eat again in 10 mintues (sometimes not). When I can get him to eat for the reccomended 20 mins he spits up even more and still has his uncomfortable fits. My DH got to experience this for the 1st time last night and he thinks something is not right. Making me feel guilty (not on purpose) for not calling the Dr earlier about it. I know Shane is eating enough cause I can tell he is getting bigger and heavier so atleast I know he is thriving. His diapers are consistant too. The feces look a little more watery than they were, but idk if that is a concern...same color, just not as seedy.
Would like DH to start the bottle, but looks like another thing I will have to do myself cause waiting for him will be too long. Frustrating that even when DH is here to help, I am not really getting any help. If I still feel completely frustrated this upcoming week I am gonna go and cry on my mom's shoulder cause I don't think my DH is gonna be very comforting since he feels like he is doing all the sacrificing by working a boatload of Overtime.
It'll get better, I promise. Otherwise there sure would be a whole lot of only children in the world!
How old is Shane now? I think a little visit with the pediatrician is a good idea. He may be gassy, he could have reflux, who knows... but talking to a doctor and, hopefully, finding out that he's just a normal newborn should make you feel better.
