today has been a bit hard.
it started at 12:30am when oscar woke up. he wasn't due for a feed and wasn't crying, so i left him be. problem was he wasn't going back to sleep. eventually, an hour and a half later, he did start crying, so i got up and fed him. he had a good feed.
he then woke up at 6:45am. i left him be til 7am. but when i went to feed him, he wasn't interested and cried. i offered a few times, but no deal. eventually i put him to bed at about 8:30am i guess. he slept for 1.5 hours.
meanwhile howie was still sick - sitting on the toilet rather than leaning over it. first time he hasn't vomited in four or five days. but he felt awful. that is pretty sucky. at some stage i also suddenly became nauseous. i had a bit of a cry because i do very much didn't want to be sick.
oscar awoke again ll happy and smiley, but again not interested in eating. he was a bit upset at times, but playful at others. he may have gone back to sleep again - i can't remember. eventually he had a 15 minute feed at 12:30pm after been coaxed with being syringe fed milk first, but wasn't interested in having the other side. but at least he had something. it was his first feed in over 10 hours. back to bed he went soon after.
next woke, again didn't want to feed. soon enough back to bed.
next woke and we eventually got him to feed after some playtime, and the syringe feeding again. he had almost 30 minutes all up. thank goodness.
back to bed for another hour or so. i thought he might go longer but no.
woke at 7pm, and wasn't interested in eating. took a bit of convincing, and somehow it worked and he had about 20 minutes all up. then it was into bed where hopefully we won't hear from him for a good number of hours.
i'm exhausted, not just because of worrying about him and howie, but i've also felt queasy myself today and didn't sleep well last night (obviously). so i am hoping for a good night.
it's just crazy how different babies react to their immunisations. and there is very little information out there about the way oscar is reacting - with refusing to feed.
hopefully tomorrow is a better day. and he is all fixed by Monday. i don't really feel like making another visit to the doctor and sitting in that waiting room.
