    Not gaining weight, help! Barb??

    Thanks again everyone. I don't know how I would have persevered without your support.

    Kate, interesting you say that about the sleep because apparently babies release growth hormones when they're sleeping.

    Lenny, hopefully I can use my experience to help others. DH actually said to me last week that I probably have a wider knowledge to be better able to support breastfeeding mums because I've been through the worst and come through it all.

    Just wanted to update again today that Amelia had her long awaited growth spurt this week and put on 340grams. She's now broken the 5kg and is 5.24kg I'm very pleased with that!

    Wow!

    Sounds like she would have averaged exactly what the professionals wanted her to over the last month or so anyway. You've managed this really well, hun. Well done!

    That is a serious weight gain! Jen's probably right about the monthly average - well done both of you!
    Absolutely agree with Lenny too!

    That's fantastic news hun. Well done!! After all that stress and hard work it must feel so good to have had such a great gain.

    PS Will you be looking into becoming a breastfeeding counsellor then??
