Tempest in a Teapot

J & I continue to be frustrated by the fact that babies don’t come with instruction manuals. How in the world are we supposed to know what’s wrong?! Today was an incredibly fussy day. We are beginning to suspect she has a touch of reflux – I’m paying very careful attention to her eating & other behavioral cues and will discuss it with the doctor at her checkup next Monday.

It’s just so frustrating to NOT know what’s wrong – having to guess and run thru a dozen things hoping you hit the right one! In the meantime, she’s miserable and crying. Which, of course, leads to ME being miserable and crying. We’ve gone from sleeping really well to waking several times a night AND she’s not napping well anymore either…she is now exclusively formula fed, so perhaps we need to reevaluate her formula. sigh. Another exercise in trial & error, I’m afraid.

Which leads to a very tired mom & dad.
