Been flat out last few days, so just a bit of an update....
We have our big weigh in tomorrow, we have been comp feeding for 6 days, some feeds she gets enough from me and doesn't want extra other times she will take 60ml, mind you she nearly always chucks up some of that
Got a bit of a heads up on Friday we had a getting to know your baby session 1 of 6, the idea is that we create a playgroup out of it. There were a few of the mums that I have a lot in common which is great. They had some scales there so I did a quick weigh, with her clothes on - it had a chart as to what to take off for certain items and reckon that she had put on approx 200grams!!!!!! But will wait and see tomorrow.. different scales etc. no cothing, nappy etc.
I have been downing the Aktavite, and think this is boosting my supply, I am now leaking!!! But I don't think all the sugar is going to do me any good, so I am hoping the change my dose of Motilium as well, then I won't need so much aktavite. We are really lucky that Nakita will drink anything and go back to the boob!
She is now in 0000 in the long suits, the 00000 short suits still fit her for a while longer, but she is quit tall and lean, would like to get her length etc done again tomorrow, I think that if the gain is all good we will get the all clear.
I really want to be able to bf without the top ups but her growth/weight gain is more important and she is still getting all the great antibodies etc from the boob, and the F is purely a filler! It was great to talk to a few mums over the past week who have had to either do the same or go fully FF when they really wanted to BF. Either way I am still aiming for a 12 month BF relationship but if it doesn't work out then I know I have tried everything I can.
The smiles now are just beautiful and sooo many more of them!!
Sorry for the "us" post I hope to get back on later with personals
