Ticklish: it does sound like he is getting enough, with all that wee and poop! well done hun, you are doing a great job! I am sorry if my first post came across negatively, I just know that I was in denial and just assumed that she was a light wetter, not that she wasn't drinking. You are doing a fantastic job and any mum worries about their bub, whether they are well or not! :hugs:

: wrong username! oops!
Alioops - don't worry, I wasn't offended at all. My DS#1 was a really chucky baby, had reflux and I also believe he had lactose intolerance too, but fortunately he was never bad enough to go to hospital. Sorry that you had to go through all that with your DD and she was admitted to hospital.
I know that the possetting DS#2 does is not reflux because it is very different to what his brother had. He just seems to do it when he has fed a lot. He is doing even more poos now and they are HUGE!!
Good on you, your persistance and hard work have paid off - and your "mummy instincts" told you what the scales eventually confirmed - you are doing a great job!
My first bubba was a breeze - he was 95th percentile born and kept on wanting to feed - lots of nappies and all that, 250 - 300g gain a week for the first month!! Then along came my DD - only little and threw me into the loony bin nearly with all the worry, she was a BIG happy chucker and gained only about 90 - 100g per week. she is now 3, weighs 12kg and is still teensy, but healthy and full of personality
So I take a lot from your posts to really trust my gut in another few months when this one arrives ... keep up the goodd work.

DS#2 was weighed last week and having excellent weigh gains - so yes, he is getting enough.
