Oh Beema - I didn't think I was so transparent on a forum . I just ordered a set of scales before logging on! I was going to order them on Wednesday when I was really worried about the weight gain (or lack of it) but I knew that I would become obsessed and start weighing him before and after feeds and probably around the clock. I think I am a lot more relaxed after hearing everyone's advice so I just did ordered them.

I don't think that I need to feel that the nurse is judging me or that extra pressure so I'll just do my own weigh ins weekly and get my husband to hide them from me until every Thursday. I really don't think that the nurse meant it that I was doing anything wrong but I probably put that pressure on myself. I did manage to squeeze a few extra feeds into him yesterday so hopefully we are on the right track. My other two children were on breastmilk and formula basically from birth and they were so fat, it was great definatley no worries there.

I can see that Nathan is growing and he is still peeing and pooing up a storm and he is sleeping well, happy and content so I'm just going to wait for our GP visit next Thursday. My only concern is that the GP weighed him on analogue scales and he was wriggling because he was naked, so I don't know how he got the reading. I really trust my Gp so it really isn't a concern as such.

Just going to take things one feed at a time and wait aroudn for the next one. Now to wait for the scales
