Yesterday night, we did not have any good sleep at all, including Javier. He was crying badly at night...
His crying was bad n loud, lasting for quite some time. Had a hard time settling him to sleep, but after 30mi
n-1hr, he got up n continued to cry v bitterly. He couldnt even have much sleep n appetite for his fm, n not even latching soothed him.
We saw a hard mucus in his left nostril. I tried removing it for him, but failed. Thought of getting hubby n CL to bring him to Pioneer Mall see Dr Chua today morn, but in the end we couldn't wait. His crying made us give up, decided to make a trip down to NUH Children's Emergency. Set off ard 5.30am, I drove my car, together with hubby n CL to NUH.
I got up at 2.30am, after hearing Javier's crying. He was obviously still hungry after his feed, so I decided to latch him. He rested awhile..n then pooed, by the time CL n I settled him, it was near to 4am. I went back to rest, but ard 5am+, heard him crying again. Both hubby n I got up. He seemed uncomfortable. I thought it might b due to e blocked nose.
After some consideration, we decided not to wait til morn, we packed his things n went to NUH. After some checking, doc removed the particle from his nostril e
asily, n showed us, it was just a small particle. Doc said that might not b the reason tat caused his non-stop crying.
He told us, mostly shld be colic. Taught us some techniques as in how to burp Javier, or how we shld position him n need to move ard. Gave us colic drops too. Reached home b4 7am. We were all exhausted.
So far til now, Javier seemed much better. N i hope later tonite he can continue to sleep well. Just now ard 8pm+, he was quite well awake, when Jaden n MIL were around. But after awhile later, he went back to sleep.
I koe suffering from colic is v uncomfortable, n we see already also feel helpless... I think the colic drops do help, n hope he sleep well loh.. I'm tired, n so were CL n hubby, n of course little Javier. I better go sleep now, hope we can all sleep well... pls pray hard for us.
Wa... Your first CL is not bad.. Willing to toil the night with you. My first CL was a nightmare and I had to do most things on my own...
