The Feeding goes on


So... Been on the Domperidone for a little while now, and I can say with the upmost confidence that it works like a charm. However, having been supplementing the kiddo with a bottle first then, feeding from the breast has been working well up to this point.
In the evening, Thor gets a bit fussy on the breast, last week it was worse, but it seems to be a little bit better, even today. He still was a little bear about it tonight, but not as bad. I am also getting better at understanding what he is telling me, and when he is trying to con me, yes con me... he is a little evil genius... he does have Tim's I am going to take over the world before lunch genes in him... hehehehehe But his weight is good, and he's not to far from being able to sit up on his own. He is really good at holding his head up, and even likes to stand up! ( with the assistance of mum or dad of course!)
He still has some crazy acid reflux, so much so that it wakes him up from a dead sleep, he wakes screaming at the top of his lungs, and there is such an acid smell on his breath. When this happens we just sit him up and comfort him. We did get him a Bumbo seat, and boy that helps with feeding, and when he has to sit up after he eats, he totally loves the thing!
Well, I have to get the office (sewing room!) in order, and have to get up and go to the gym in the morning, then have a date to meet my doula... ( I still call her my doula, even three months after Thor was born, Ashley is just a cool lady!) she is commissioning some sewing work from me, and I am meeting her at my favorite place in Dallas... The Fabric Warehouse, Golden D'or! On a sewing note, I am available for commission for sewing projects, pricing is pretty much materials plus $10 and hour for labor.. if you are interested ::grin::
