Tired...
The formula I worked out to keep Gab asleep at night doesn't work anymore. I've been awake about every 3-4 hours for the past two nights mainly to feed him or comfort him.
He has been fighting this 'sea monster' practically everyday now... wakes up with a startle and cries his lungs out, accompanied with big beads of tears. According to a friend, its because he is getting used to the outside world. But according to The Husband and I, its the 'sea monster' who had been frightening him too much.
Besides that, Gab had been plagued by vomit spells. I think I might have fed him too much at times or not burped him enough. He sometimes regurgitates quite a lot of milk out. Everytime it happens, I would feel so 'heart-pain' and guilty... Sigh sigh.
Now I know, its not so easy being a mother after all.

Zach went through that too! Went to see the doc cos i was kind of worried that he wasn't getting enough...doc said that its normal due to immature splinter in the digestive tract...so some suggestions...feed him slightly elevated, hold him upright for a while after feed before burping him...she also said that it seems like alot of puked out milk but its actually mixed with lots of sliva...so it's not just pure milk. I used to feel so frustrated too...like i take some much time and energy to bfeed...then it all comes out! Hang in there...
As for waking up at night...have you tried swaddling him? They have a startle reflex so sometimes that wakes them up?
