month 2

By week 4 i decided i had to keep active and get out otherwise i would land up going mad. it was really refreshing getting out & about and broke up the day.

H had developed colic and would scream and a scream around feeding time, with trapped wind and he would squirm. It was soul destroying seeing your new baby in pain, but being so helpless.


All i could do was try to soothe him, take him for a drive in the car so he could sleep and rest his little body, i tried diffenrent bottles, teats, over the counter remedies, i had lots of advice on positions to wind him and massage him, we tried everything. 

It got so bad i called the gp who told me to take him to a&e. we were seen after 4 hours, with my tiny baby, and they confirmed colic and reflux, he was given medication and i felt relieved to know there was nothing more serious and hopefully the medication would kick in soon.

In week 5, we took H to become official and get his birth certificate, it was a very proud moment for hubs and I.

By week 6, H's colic was still bad but i felt like i was managing it better, and although i was still up every few hours for night feeds i was getting used to it.  i hadnt cried for a few days now, which made me realise how emotional and hard the first six weeks had been.
