i'm frustrated today

i can't get DD to take a good nap.  she has decided to go back to eating every two hours on the nose...so she wakes, eats for half an hour, gets a diaper change which always puts her in a good happy mood, and then plays for about half an hour or 45 minutes.  total awake time = 1 to 1.25 hours.  then she gets cranky, fussy, starts yawning...i swaddle her, rock or swing her, give her a paci, but she won't sleep.  she eventually drifts off and gets maybe half an hour before she wakes to eat again.

i was adding up how much sleep she gets at night, and tops it's only 10.5 hours so she definitely needs to get some more during the day, right?

i wonder if she's having her 3-month growth spurt, as it's been especially bad the last few days.

Toodle was like this earlier this week, but more fussy - pedi attributed it to needing his zantac increased (I think she determined he was comfort feeding). Is it possible that's what's going on w/ A?

I suppose it could be.  She has been burping more but I attributed it to my improved technique (bounce on knee 16 times, sit forward and pat and usually by pat 5 she lets out a huge one).  Hm.  She actually doesn't have another appointment scheduled until 4 months but I guess I could call them for a weight/dosage check.  She is pulling off the breast and crying more, too...

thanks!

(is toodle feeling better?)
