This is long & involves more than just a bf problem, but figured it was the best place.
Ani was sick last week with a vomitting bug & since then he has had very few wet nappies. As in I can change him morning, noon & night & they are barely wet. The night one is wet, but nothing like it normally is. I'm using sposies atm as its easier to moniter them & I was worried he'd have loose BM's like MJ did after the vomitting.
He's breastfeeding heaps, AF has returned for me & its decreased my supply so am feeding what feels like constantly. As soon as he comes near me he screams for a feed, then doesn't want to detach :( He's the same at night, after we finally get nights sorted & he was sleeping through from 7pm - 5am this happens & he's up 3-4 times a night wanting a bf.
He wont drink anything else, i've even tried fruit juice (was told by a paed to give it to him if he gets constipated to get things moving), but he refuses it, or will take it then spit it.
Its really starting to worry me, he's happy if we're out, but at home just wants to feed all the time & isn't wetting near as much as he should. I used to have to put 2 disposables on him at night, now 1 isn't even full. He's also started throwing full on tantrums, back arching throwing himself on the floor tantrums if I don't bf him............i'm at a loss :(
Anyone have a magic cure, or know what it could be or at least what i'm going through?
