Just have to take a moment for some "much needed" venting! Although this Mom is so nice and friendly, I am feeling a little frustrated! I know there are limits to what you can/should say to parents re: the care of THEIR CHILD. There for a little vent may be all I can do. I have had this baby for a few months and had a previous post re: her spit up, all the time on the floors and furniture. Well...thanks to some GREAT advice I dug further into our already possible "diagnosis" of reflux and came to the conclusion, per the parents request (some things the mother asked me to do against my opinion) somethings needed to change. I changed the babies nipple flow from fast to medium, which changed her feeding time from 5 minutes to 25. One of the comments for reflux babies especially but all babies should take no less than 20 min to eat. Her spit up went from alot for hours after a bottle, to literally maybe once after the bottle. I also completely stopped putting her flat on her back, now she sits in an inclined position but for a small ammount of time each day for "floor time" rolling over and such. Long to short, I have been doing ALOT to help her and feel things are MUCH better, when I have her. I refuse to feed her EVERY 3 to 3.5 hours as the Mother suggested, I know how to read babies, and she's just not hungry every 3.5 hours, I WILL NOT stuff a bottle in her face, just because some literature tells me thats what she needs. The Mother drops her off today, as she usually does, in a bit of a huff and makes the comment of "she was up twice last night, starving" I cant help but think she is making a comment directed at the fact she knows I dont feed the baby every 3 hours rather when she shows signs of hunger. OR if it does reach near 5 hours, I just make a bottle and give anyway, she usually takes it. I tried one day to do the feed every 3 hrs and she cried through the bottle and spit up ALL DAY! I think it not only triggers her reflux to feed TOO much but also just over feeds her, she gets sick and pukes. seriously just need to vent if nothing else, if I say too much to a paretn like this it just makes things too hard. I will just keep quiet and keep up with what I think is right, just frustrates me a little because we cant see eye to eye. almost feel like she wants to work against me rather than with me, and def feel like she is blaming me for the baby not sleeping through the night. she has even asked me to have her nap later in the day so she doesnt nap in the evening at home that way she will sleep through the night. YOU CANT MAKE A BABY SLEEP OR NOT SLEEP< THEY DO IT AS THEY NEED IT!!!!!!! thanks for listening!!!!!
