Ok so I've been giving EBM for almost a week and was supposed to see LC last Wednesday which got postponed. I go tomorrow to see her and hopefully might be able to sort out this attachment issue although after this long on EBM I'm thinking this is the path we'll be on now..

So today I went and had Chloe weighed at the clinic and she put on 400g in 10 days!! Nurse was impressed and said that it was fine. Considering 200g is a good gain for a week and she was only 4 days off a fortnight then 400g is on the good side of it. Nurse said she is possibly making up for the fortnight she only gainde 50g in total and also might be having a growth spurt. She said her feeding schedule (which I've written down) was fine as she was having small feed, then a big feed, then small etc. She said if Chloe wants food to give it to her as she obviously needs it so that made me feel much better.

When i total up her feeds she is getting between 500ml and 700ml per day. Clinic nurse said that I don't have to wake her every 3 hours to feed anymore and just go back to demand feeding with EBM and FF. I finally have an appointment tomorrow with my LC (another thread) so see if can sort out BF'ing issues or if I stay with EBM/FF situation which is obviously agreeing with Chloe.

See what my LC says tomorrow and I'm also considering upgrading my pump to a full blown electric pump. At the moment I have the medela mini electric but if i'm pumping full time I'm not sure it'll keep up.
