On Monday, Paisley was 8 weeks old. We have had a rough past week. She began crying really hard and refusing to eat at most feedings last Wednesday. I really wasn't sure what was going on. I changed her formula thinking that would help. It didn't. I just thought she became a fussy baby, because I really didn't know what else to think or what it could be. Anyhow, so on Sunday we were eating dinner and Phil and I said that Paisley's tongue was white. And Marla was over, and she said "Oh I best she has thrush" I of course got worried because I didn't know what that was. Well, if there tongue is white and you try to wipe it off and it doesn't come off then it is thrush. And so I did, and didn't come off. My poor baby. I called the Dr. on Monday morning and took her in and sure enough it was thrush. So, we got her prescription. I really am not sure if it is helping. She has had a few crying spells still each day and not able to eat, just like she had been. And I still see white. I am taking her in the morning for her 2 month WELL visit so I will then see if they want to give her a stronger medicine. I HATE seeing her in pain. Makes me cry when she is. It is AWFUL.
She has been getting her last bottle for the night at 7p and depending on how much she cries I get her down by 8 and she wakes up 12-12:30a then again at 4-4:30a and after that feeding its hard to get her back down. I have been messing with her from that feeding on until 7:30 when we get up for the day. I have been very sleep deprived and I am EXHAUSTED and ready for a longer sleep stretch. Will she ever? Some nights it seems like she won't. But, I know one day she will, she has too!!
