A peanut allergy

No changes again today. Little man was not interested in breastfeeding this morning. He flatly refused by closing his lips. I think he was too tired, as I kept him waiting until the doctors had done their rounds and they were a little late starting this morning. This afternoon however, he did well. After a slow start, he fed for around twenty minutes and had the perfect technique, bless him. He seems to sneeze at every breastfeed and I'm starting to think he's allergic to nipples! Speaking of nipples, my inhibitions are slowly evaporating as my breasts become a common part of the scenery for the nurses.

He had his first little tantrum today, and I realised I am going to have my work cut out for me in a while's time. The tanty was over his peanut pillow, and I do believe he doesn't enjoy it. He arched his back and slid himself up away from it. He also raised his bottom from the bed with his big strong legs. Looks like he's going to be a strong, determined and firey little munchkin.....

Dr Eye is coming again tomorrow for another check. Everyone is making me feel like surgery is a given, but we will find out in the morning. I'm not looking forward to it one bit. The eyes drops hurt and upset him, and our usual routine of feeds and cuddles will depend on how he's feeling. We are going to try and catch the doc in the morning as each time he's come previously we've missed him...even though we get here at 730 each morning.....tomorrow it's 7am just in case..
