Fucking Ear Infection + Breast Feeding Withdrawals = Unhappy Ezra
Ear infections were bad during the past, but now that pain appears to be amplified with his want to be soothed with the soothing act of nursing.
I miss his nursing too on days like today for during the past it was only a matter of attaching him to the breast to change a fussing Ezra to a calm and content Ezra, but without the wonder of nursing to sooth Ezra not only is there one less method for us to help him through the pain of his latest ear infection, but there is also agitation he must feel from not being able to be soothed with the breast.
This agitation was felt by all when I got home from work today. Ezra was walking around with a tear streaked face. His arms were raised about shoulder level making him look like a zombie wanting to be held my its mummy. But even holding Ezra didn’t sooth him entirely. He fussed. He cried. He rubbed his ears so much I thought they were going to fall off. So we did give him some baby Mortin and laid him down to sleep all knowing he will likely wake around midnight feeling the pain in his head.
-v-, Ezra and I can only hope two weeks from now, after he gets tubes in his ear drums, that he can begin to live a life free of ear infections.
