Hi Steve. If you dont mind, could you refresh my memory on some questions I have so I dont have to go down the board? Hannah is almost 7mths old? Does she have any teeth, or ridges on her gums, or bumps/abcesses on her gums? Does she use her pacifier to sleep with? Does she get any other solid food during the day besides what you posted below...and how much total do you think she drinks during the day? Does she have any food allergies that you know of..I know she is nursed, but did your wife have to change her diet at all? Does Hannah cry alot..even during the day, or does she spit up alot? Before Hannah, did you and your wife sleep well? And finally, it seems as though she has a very determined personality, am I correct in this? From my experience, I'm trying to help you figure this out. I know (we talked about this before) that message boards really dont get across sometimes how serious a situation is, but both of my kids did the same thing as you describe Hannah doing and it affected our total lives to a point that I dont think most people could really understand. I felt like most people thought I was always complaining and no one really understood and as you already posted below, the pediatrician told us nothing that we didn't already know. Eventually around this time, I had to go back to grass square roots and totally rethink the whole thing through. If you choose to respond to this post, I'd be more than happy, if you would like, to share some of my experiences with you. If you want to do it thru email, that's fine also. My email is dechnith@hotmail.com. It could take a few posts and I dont know how you feel about that on the board. It seems like you and your wife are getting to a "breaking point", not that I am suggesting you will lose your temper with Hannah, but that you are at the point where you're in a whirlwind and dont know how to get out. If I'm wrong, I apologize, but if there is any merit at all, I'd like to share. BESIDES, we're the only people on this board who live on the great EAST COAST. My sister is in VA, the the other in NC, I'm in PA, and we frequent Kings Dominion more than our fair share!!! We;re almost neighbors.
