Just got home from C's revision

[imimahoney]

OMG she is upset. There's a reason why it's best to do this with a newborn. She wouldn't stop screaming after and I was barely able to nurse her. She was just screaming for 15 minutes and finally passed out in my arms. Poor girl, I feel so bad.

[kandrze1]

Poor thing! I'm sorry. I hope she's doing better soon.

[imimahoney]

Thank you!

I'm so sorry Olivia was 3 months and it was similar; I couldn't get her to nurse and she screamed until she fell asleep. It was heartbreaking BUT she was completely fine the next day! I hope C wakes from her nap without any discomfort and she's back to her normal self.

How did she handle the stretches? I feEl like she will just scream the entire time.

I'm sorry, I hope she's feeling better soon.

Poor girl! I'm sorry she's so upset. I hope after a good nap she will be feeling better.

They didn't have us do any. I didn't even know that was a thing until I read it on here at some point. However, she only had a slight tongue tie and we didn't have her lip done. I imagine the stretches are going to be rough for both of you. How often do you have to do them?

Oh ok. 3 to 4x a day for 3ish weeks

[bean47]

Ugh it's going to be worth it though!

[laurensmomma]

I'm sorry. Big hugs for you both.

[jg183]

I'm sorry hugs for all of you! Now I'm dreading it! Especially if we do Luke's too!

[spaghetticat]

I'm so sorry. I hope she feels better soon!

[ktstorm]

Poor darling. I hope she's feeling better soon.

[katie]

I hope she wakes up feeling much better

[artgal84]

Poor C. I hope she wakes up feeling better and this helps both of you guys. Hugs.

[TrudyCampbell]

I hope it heals quickly!

[badgermom]

Feel better, C! Hugs to baby and Mama!

[jenbelle]

Poor both of you! Sending you hugs and i hope she wakes up happy!

[rxbeth]

Stretching does suck but it is so important. I don't think age matters for that. Andrew wailed through stretches at 9 days old. By the end of the three weeks, he was really fighting me on them. We had to do them 8 times a day.

[thedahliharpa]

I'm glad it's over! It's so hard to see them in pain but you are sparing her more troubles later. Hugs to little C,

[Beener]

Omg I am so so sorry

[formerlyllizzyb]

Oh mama I am so sorry! I hope she heals lightning fast

[creamsiclechica]

I am so, so sorry. I wish this was easier on you and her. I hate things have been so hard on you this entire time. So many hugs.

[honeybee503]

I'm sorry. I'm glad it's over with.

Well this afternoon has been certainly trying. She's slept a lot but is very fussy. I got her to nurse once and that's it. She's bad 2 bottles. Nursing is so hard for her right now I'm going to buy some infant tylenol in a bit to try and ease the pain.

[mabillon]

I'm so sorry. If it gives you any comfort, I'd argue it's not that much easier with a newborn! I just finished i's stretches (90 seconds in three sites) and it's MISERABLE! He just screams and has learned to clamp down when I go for the posterior massage (thank goodness he doesn't have teeth though!)

Oh yes! We did Tylenol for the first 48 hours.

Yeah. Andrew was a major clamper and the osteopath we has been seeing had never seen a newborn so strong.

[rxbeth]

It will get better and she won't remember. It's harder on us.
