Babies Born August 1-15th 2008 #2

Just a quickie, got the attachment thing sorted better I hope, will see how I go for the next feed... did a full feed both sides, but not a lot IYKWIM, still massaging these blocked ducts, but she was moving the milk a bit more so hopefully we will have them sorted soon.

We had a weight loss though, 20grams, hadn't had an actual loss for about 7-8 weeks, can't really afford it as she has only been gaining half what the paed wanted anyway.. so I have to comp feed her for the next week, as I can't express enough I am going to have to buy formula (which really upsets me, the last thing I wanted to do). after getting home I gave her a top up of 40ml of EBM, and 15min later she chucked up at least half of it what a waste!! So ti will be both boobs then a top up, gee I hope if she chucks up its the formula and not the boobie milk!

So we have a big week ahead, she has to put on weight, might need to bring back some of the old cheers! Or we are back to see the Paed again, damn it!!! Worked so GD hard to get to this point......

Oh Vic I'm so sorry to hear about Nakita's weight loss And what a bummer to have to comp with formula when it's so not what you wanted

COME ON NAKITA, STOP CHUCKING UP MUMMY'S MILK!! KEEP GROWING LITTLE GIRL - YOU CAN DO IT!!

(thought I better keep it a bit smaller than before so we don't get into trouble again!! )

MT - it's ok to take your time with your first!! I just have so much to do and get organised every morning that I have no choice but to be busy!!

Squidipa - Veygas last night woke about every 2.5 hours and fed for 5-10 minutes on one side only each time!! No matter what I did, he wouldn't wake to feed more - he was like a floppy rag doll! But they all do go through different stages I reckon!
