A little worried

Hi ladies, just a question for you all - when your babies were going through growth spurts did they just sleep and feed all day?

The reason i ask is that today, Ayja has just been asleep constantly and a fair amount of me is thinking this is far too good to be true, and I'm worried.

She's been waking for feeds, only the same amount as usual, if not a little less, but falls asleep feeding, and stays that way (usually wakes up about 10 mins later if she does that) even a nappy change will not really wake her up for too long.. she falls back asleep after about 10 to 15 mins. She is usually so alert and fiesty, and really hard to get to sleep and to get to STAY asleep.

She has had a blocked sniffly nose since just before the weekend.. but hasn't been worrying her, today it seems little more noticable when she breathes but that's it. The other explanation i can think of is maybe it's her haemoglobin levels have dropped a bit low, which they said might happen cos of her bleed when she bumped her head. They said she might get a bit sleepy and breathe faster etc. Am taking her to docs when mike gets home at 5 anyway to make sure things are ok, but am just trying to think of other possibilities.

gimme your opinion

Maya seemed to have days where she would sleep and sleep and sleep and not feed much, and other days she wouldn't sleep at all but would want to feed all the time. She's still like that even now.
Have you had a busy few days? Maybe Ayja is just a bit out of routine and catching up on sleep, or maybe she is going to do what Maya did and go thru different phases.
I think you're sensible getting her checked out tho. I always felt like a paranoid mother but my GP was so great, said she would rather see 100 healthy babies just in case than miss one sick one.

I'm sure she's fine! But if unsure it's best to get them checked. Set your mind at ease too!

Great news glad all is Ok.

Glad she's better! And back to her happy self!

shudder!! I am soooo glad I don't have wisdom teeth. I hate the dentist so much I have been known to vomit before having to go. Hope you are feeling better today Emma!!

Hey Emma - put an old towel on your pillow for the couple of nights following your surgery. You will dribble a little bit of blood.

I had my wisdom teeth out about 3 years ago.

Grrrr! I take back what I said - yesterday arvo I was having a rest and I woke up to Maya flooding the bathroom (she had turned the tap on and couldn't turn it off) and covered in her 'sparklies' (lip gloss that her aunty gave her). Willie was snoring on the couch! Only a man could sleep thru all that racket.But I made him clean her up - and went back to bed.

Becca, I have been lucky so far my mouth doesn't seem to have bled at all. Back on normal food today for the first time, but I am still too scared to brush my teeth! I'm just washing my mouth out with Savacol every five minutes!
