Okay so I don't remember it being this hard with Isabelle and she had reflux too and wasn't medicated...
Grace really seems to fight feeding and it's a battle to get her to latch on and feed properly...
I'm going to get her weighed tomorrow to check she's getting enough but she's not dehydrated so she's clearly feeding enough for that...
I'm just so exhausted and fedup of fighting a baby who latches then pulls off screaming...
Do you think perhaps her meds need changing?
She's not being sick anymore (thankgoodness!) but seems to HATE feeding and although it's easier with a pillow she's a menace to latch on and I just yelled at her as she's clearly hungry but won't stay latched on to feed!
I can express into her mouth a bit but she still won't take that as a hint to latch on...
I haven't tried a bottle yet because I don't seem to have time to express and I'd really rather not give formula esp as she's got reflux as it could aggravate matters...
I also would feel weirdly detached if I didn't her (not intended as a slight on those who do bottle feed) and I'm not sure I could cope with adding that to how I'm feeling at the moment...
I'm just so fedup
She's currently screaming her head off in the pram while I type this Off to go cuddle my cranky baby
Edit to add that she refuses to latch properly too so gulps air and screams with wind pain until she burps...
And the bf group is on mondays so I can't go as I'd have to take Isabelle...
