Long Nights, Grumpy Baby!

The last two nights have been very, very long. Savannah is just not feeling well and it is hard to tell what exactly is wrong. I can tell her crying has changed from her normal cry and she has pretty much stopped eating. She may eat half an ounce every once in a while, which is a far cry from the three ounces she should be eating.  Last night she was running a low fever and would start to inconsolably cry after just a couple sucks on her bottle. I was thinking that she may have an ear infection or more problems with reflux.

So off to the pediatrician's office we went. The good news is even with her feeding strike she is at 8lbs 12oz. Her doctor thought she might be having some difficulty breathing due to some congestion she has but I told her that has been fairly normal and that Savannah snores and snorts a lot. Her oxygen level was at 99 percent which was good. Her ears were also clear with no signs of infection or fluid. So... she may be recovering from a cold that dad brought home and gave to both mom and baby or she could still be having problems with reflux. So we are changing her reflux medication and keeping our fingers crossed.
