Guest guest Posted February 18, 2006 Report Share Posted February 18, 2006 Today was day 3 and Chase is doing very well with the DOCband. He sleeps fine, gets around fine during the day basically he hasn't complained a bit but he's normally like that very easy going. My only problem is teething. He got his first 2 teeth at once on the bottom and he was barely eating. and normally he was eating like crazy every 2 hours during the day. He drinks pumped breast milk because of the tort. he was not able to actually breast feed initially and we just continued the pumping. Now it's odd with his teeth he wants to actually breastfeed sometimes. He seems to want extra comforting. I've been using tylenol, teething tables, cold washclothes for him to chew on, cold rubber teethers everything I can think of and today seemed a bit better but it's a struggle. We just started cereal and veges and he's barely had any because of his lack of eating. I'm hoping it stays ok like today. I have extras fears like all of us. He's only had a little rice cereal and about a teaspoon of peas. My doctor went over all this stuff he needs to do and with the band and the tort. there's so much to do it's overwhelming at times. Thank gosh my husband helps so much. I was thinking I can't imagine doing this alone. It's a struggle to just get the bath and band cleaning done in the 1 hour. Then the exercises and PT and OT I could just scream. It's day 3 and 3 months seems so so long. by the way does anyone know how long it takes for the tort to get better. We're so diligent with the exercise and it's been about 4 months. and with the teething he will barely do any exercise too Anyway if anyone has any miracle cure for teething I'd appreciate any tips.
