Hi all

Sounds like a few of you need some sleepy vibes in here!

Had Baxter weighed yesterday and he gained 145gms in 6 days, yay!! I am so pleased, he has really turned the corner with his weight gain and I've relaxed too. We have my 6 week OB appt and his paed appt in Perth next Tuesday so if the paed is happy with him, I'll attempt to wean myself off the Motilium and fenugreek.

I called the dr surgery yesterday for his urine test results and was told it was all clear. I went to a First Time Parenting Group at the local hospital today and saw my MCHN and she told me the results were all clear after speaking with the practice nurse.

Then I get home this afternoon (after shopping with Baxter at Coles, in the rain! But that's a different story...) and the surgery called to say that the dr wanted to make an appt to see Baxter about the test results! So I'm just a teensy bit nervous but figure if it was urgent then they would see us sooner than his Friday appt.

Well, we had a really good night last night, he woke once at 2.45am then slept until close to 7.00am.

Getting him weighed again next Monday to ensure he is on the up and up.

Wishing you all peaceful nights!

PS - Nessa, I've been pumping after each day feed to build up my supply on the advice of my lactation consultant and I'm reducing it to 2 for some frozen EBM store. I find I get the most after his first two feeds of the daytime, ie 8.00am and 10.30am feeds. HTH.

ETA - oh and she said to pump for 5 minutes each side too.
