I am really, really tentatively bringing some good news to this thread. I'm so scared I'm going to jinx myself, but things are actually on the up.
The short version is that 3 days ago DS2 started to change things around a bit..............going longer between feeds, seeming to not want so much of his comp feeds, vomiting large amounts immediately after feeds. He usually has a bit of a longer stretch without a comp overnight, about 6 hours, but one night he went 10 hours! Then during the next day he went 5 hours between a feed, which is toooooo long. Given that his weight gains have been good, I was sure we could start to move things along. So was reducing/removing comps etc, but by last night was freaking out that I was doing the wrong thing! Spoke to my LC last night, and we have a plan - all being well (good weight gains, he's content etc) we will drop one comp a week. In fact, the last three mornings he has had his first feed, with NO comp at all, and then gone down for 3 hours! So that's the comp we're dropping first.
I took him to be weighed today, just to get a kind of starting point, and he had gained 300g in 9 days!!! So he's definitely ready to slow down on the extra . I am so excited, but soooooooo nervous. Please send us lots of good vibes, because I am so scared I'm going to stuff this up!
