The health nurse visited to weigh Roy yesterday, and she suggested that we take him to the GP today to get his advise, because Roy's respiratory rate was high, as was his work of breath. His trachea was sucking in with each breath, and Roy had been looking and acting anxious all day. Amazingly I got an appointment with the GP for that afternoon which is usually impossible at our clinic. The doctor thought he was fine, so that was a relief, and we've got colic drops that are safe for Roy. The pain from the colic was making him anxious and work harder.
The colic drops have improved Roy's comfort today. He can still get squirmy at times, but no where near as bad as yesterday.
He was a breech baby, so seems particularly happy in his baby carrier where he can stay upright (photo) - helps get his wind up too - 4 big burps in 10 minutes after putting it on. He is cooing again now too, which is so sweet.
