There have been a few developments around here - mostly baby-related. Raley had her 10-week checkup and was 10 lbs 9 oz and still about 21" long. She's healthy and pretty happy (at least sometimes!).
But still not breastfeeding. We went to visit another lactation consultant (our 5th!), who explained that several things about Raley's mouth make it very hard/uncomfortable for her to breastfeed - high palate, receeding chin, and, oh yeah, a posterior tongue tie. So, we made an appointment with an Ear, Nose and Throat doctor and Raley had a minor "procedure" on Tuesday to get the tongue tie clipped. A few seconds, a little snip, and no blood. She wasn't terribly happy, but it might have been more because we were holding her down than any pain from the frenectomy. No major improvements in breastfeeding yet, but we'll see... we'll keep working on it.
In other news, we're going to push our luck a bit and go for a trip. We're heading back to Indy to visit the family - my side, plus Dan's grandparents. As previously mentioned, Raley's not such a fan of sleeping in the car seat, so this 10-hour road trip should be very interesting! We're planning to take several breaks and maybe hit up some letterboxes enroute... a short walk with her in her carrier will at least give her a nap!
Anyway, she's fussing again, so that's all from here... here's my happy baby!
Hello!
Wow - that's a lot to go through. You're doing amazing things to keep that baby in breastmilk when it's so difficult. Have fun on your trip!
Posted by: natalie on May 21, 2008 07:38 PMback in the day my rents gave us some verison of babeh tylenol which knocked us OUT during those trips. it couldn't hurt to ask about it. hehehe :-)
Posted by: laura on May 21, 2008 08:01 PMSuch a pretty girl! And I gave up on the entire concept of "sleeping through the night" when I realized that, according to the doctor, sleeping from midnight to 5am counts as sleeping through the night. Huge sigh.
Lucy turned 5 months old last Friday, and I'm still lucky to get a 5 hour stretch out of her, even at night.
Posted by: Kristine on May 22, 2008 07:52 AMWow, who knew about the tongue tied thing?! She is so cute & happy! Hope the nursing improves for you. You are a trooper!
Posted by: Kim on May 22, 2008 10:27 AMI never heard of that tongue tied problem! I'm glad you guys got it taken care of. I hope breast feeding improves!
She's so cute!
Hey, if you have a moment while you're in Indy, give us a call... we're in the nob. phone book...
Glad that somebody could diagnose that tongue tie issue. I've heard of it and getting it clipped too, but have no idea what that really looks like. What a good mama you are to keep up the breastfeeding. Plenty of others would have given up by now.
Posted by: Kelly on May 22, 2008 03:26 PMI feel your pain -- literally. Annabelle was tongue-tied, but it was (way, way) anterior so we knew right away. We had hers snipped (twice!), and things really started to turn around after the second one. Fingers crossed the same goes for you!
They're getting so big, aren't they?
Posted by: Shannon on May 22, 2008 08:41 PMThat ABSOLUTELY counts as through the night!!! Good luck on your trip!
Posted by: sarah b. on May 23, 2008 11:04 AMOur eight week old went from 11 to 6 last night-so totally "all night long"! Wayyyyy excited!
Raley is a cutie!
Hope you had a great Mother's day! If the B.F consultant hadn't seen the tongue tie, would you have known to go to an Ears, Nose & Throat doctor? And if you hadn't gotten it clipped, what would happen? (Besides being a reason for perhaps not being able to breastfeed)?
