    hey babe is she going to KEMH MBU? thats where i was and it was freakin awesome.... does she know she will only be able to take her youngest with her (they dont allow children over 12 months in there to stay).... MBU nurses will put bubs on a 3-4 hourly feeding routine so best to start that at home. at 10 weeks DD was having feeds every 3-4 hours, then usually 2 x 5 hr stretches overnight between bottles.

    i hope she is ok and im sure the MBU will help, the first week is the hardest but they do take the babies into the nursery the first 2 nights so mums get a good sleep. if you want any info on MBU contact me x

    I don't know TM, I'm thinking they're just gonna put her wherevers available first, y'know? Yeah, she knows she can only take her youngest, I think its a relief for her

    Thanks for the info about the feeding, good to know!
