Poor Baby Bear. The fluid restriction means that overnight he was only allowed to have 30ml of EBM every 3 hours. He woke up every 1-1.5 hours, starving and extremely cranky. I had to try and settle him until until we reached the 3 hour mark. By about 4am I worked out that massaging the small amount of free space on his legs calmed him enough so that he'd sleep for a little longer. He's always loved being massaged and I've done it after every bath since he was born. 

In the early hours of the morning it became apparent that Baby Bear had developed a fever. The doctors did the rounds late in the morning and upped his fluid intake to 45ml every 3 hours, as well as ordering a whole bunch of tests to check for an infection. 

It's been one of those mornings where I get Baby Bear to sleep just in time for someone to come in and start poking him. The ward doctor came in and put another line into his other foot so that they could take blood (so now both feet are bundled up, leaving even less room for his massage); a urine catheter put in to get a sample; a suction catheter used to get samples from up his nose; the mobile xray machine wheeled in to xray his chest. 

He's now due to have more EBM and meds but has fallen asleep, absolutely exhausted. My poor baby boy. And I can't make it better for him . :(
