Up to day 4

We have made it to day four without significant up heavels or withdrawls. Samantha has been somewhat calmer but not consistantly. Other mums say it can take 10-14 days to see improvement.
I seem to be the only one with withdrawls, Headache on day 1 and 2, very tired on day 2 and today. Like can't keep my eyes open, seeing double in the middle of the afternoon tired.

Samantha hasn't complained about any food or insisted on having something she can't but she isn't eating a great deal. As a Mom I naturally need something to worry about so I am worrying about her not eating enough. We weighed her on day one and will weigh her once a week to make sure there is no weight loss.
