Thanks Squidipa - I really hope so too, either way I will continue bf'ing, what ever she gets is going to be good for her, I just wish I was producing more....

I think someone did measure wrong, he is a bit young to be shrinking!!! Still good growth, if you do top up will you continue with bf'ing? Yay for the computer being fixed!

None of my kids ever took to the bottle this young ... not even with EBM ... although DS2 was OK to take a bottle from about 3 months old (if I remember right), but I am still having great difficulties trying to get Veygas to suck the bl00dy DUMMY!!!! And I KNOW that half the time, he his just wanting to suck for comfort (he prefers to suck my finger than the dummy!)

When I was drying him after his bath last night (an extra long one cause he's basically only had a couple of "bird baths" / sponge downs since surgery, so now with the dressing off, he could have a proper bath!!) I realised how much scar tissue is under the incision - I know it will eventually settle, but I wonder if he finds it uncomfortable at all?

We had a "two-hour-night" last night - I think he might be having another little growth spurt, but I am finding since his op that he's not taking in as much with each feed as he was before (I wonder if his stomach or something is smaller?? The paed surgeon did say that he also had to mend a tear in his stomach lining in addition to removing the hernia ... ) Poor little thing must have been in so much pain before ...

to everyone, I think I might start preparing dinner while the little man is sleeping!!

Hello ladies!

Beema ~ Sorry about the feeding issues and weight loss. I hope your Little Miss picks up soon!

SquidPea ~ I am still trying to work out the mystery of your shrinking baby! LOL. We get that at work too sometimes, everyone measures a little bit differently and it can mean the difference in quite a few cm's!!!

MM ~ Seven flatly refuses the dummy too, and it would make life a touch easier if she did, but you can't force them can you!!!?!?!?!?! My Mum will be offering Seven a finger feed during our wedding ceremony if she gets hungry because its not like I can feed her while saying my vows!!! But I will be breast feeding her during the reception. We have decided not to offer bottles until I have to go back to work. I want to enjoy this BF'ing experience as long as possible. DS was BF until 16months, but he also went back and forth between the bottle.

Seven fed hrly yesterday and went 2-3hrly overnight, so I think she is also having a growth spurt. They tend to around 4-6wks anyway.

Hi to everyone else!

Love & Hugs

Oh, you can, but they don't like it!! LOL!

What, you mean, you're not gonna stand there in front of everyone, pull down (or up) the front of your wedding dress and feed while saying "I do"?? Now that would be a sight!!! (you know I am just kidding around right?)
