Happy Christmas lovely mummies. We were lucky to get Fergus home from hospital in time for Christmas so that was his and our biggest present for the year. Thank you for your posts and really helpful tips. We're having a few teething problems with the kangaroo pump now we're home. Fergus keeps unplugging the connection - even though it's taped really securely and his hands are bandaged into mittens he somehow manages to prize it apart with his teeth! Most nights he wakes choking cause he's managed to get the cord tangled around his neck or crying cause he's got it wrapped around a limb and can't move properly. And at least once every day he's been having major vomits as his body adjusts to the volumes we're pumping into him. Not much sleep going on here. He pulled his tube out last night so we're off to the hospital this morning to get it replaced. Aghhhh let's hope he adjusts to it all soon and stops fighting it.

Theresa, Thank you for your very kind offer. I'm completely useless when it comes to sewing. Re-attaching a lost button is about as far as I go. I would be really really love it you could make a little pouch for Fergus. I can send you a cheque or direct funds transfer to cover your costs. xx

Katanya, Thanks for your suggestions. How is your little man doing? Did he get much catch up growth? When Fergus was born he was on the 20th percentile for a baby of his gestation, now he's way way way below the 3rd percentile. I'm hoping we might get some catch up growth (as a result of the tube) to take him back to close to the 20th percentile. Do you think I'm dreaming?
