Hello all,

Popping in quickly to say Kye had another huge gain today - 650 grams ... eek!!
Everyone keeps telling me "hes a big boy" but I am starting to get a bit paranoid that it is too much. Had a talk to the nurse and she wants me to document his intakes the next couple of days so she can have a look and assess things.

He has been good today in regards to his day sleeps - had a two hour block this morning which is sooooo not like him and has been asleep in his swing for the past hour, woooohooo!

Leasha- Kye has had greenish poos the last couple of days but I think that's more because I changed his formula
He's been a bit constipated too poor fella, I feel like a $hit mummy sometimes!

Anyways must finish doing his bottles for tonight and make a start on dinner.

Hope everyone is well!

good morning ladies.
I have started a log of all my feeds and how many times joshs jumps on and off the boob and what side i been feeding on to try to understand some things like what times of day is it any better and how long in total feeding.. Thought ild share my progress with you all i mean who else do i have to share it with bar from hubbie

this is yesterdays
1/10/08 3 nappy changes no pooey's and the nappies wernt even choca full no nappy rash here so know he is not in it TOO long. Smells fine to me We normally get more nappies but not yesterday (first time ever no poo)

5.44am 19-20 mins feeding
7.10am 10 mins feeding
10.58am 20 mins feeding 14 times reattaching Both sides of breasts (BS)
12.10pm 6 mins Feeding LS (Left side breast)
4.20pm 25 mins feeding 9 times reattaching LS
9.08pm 17 mins Feeding 5 times reattaching RS

I am trying a new style of breast feeding for me anyhow just being more persistent in this one style only. BTW He falls off the boob not i taking him off and re attaching he does this him self on and off.

Since trying this new technique he has stopped with so much of the winging and ups and downs and lefts and rights and back and forths with nipple in mouth Plus my nipple has been same shape going in and out for whole time since starting this. So progress is being made !!

Our goal is in 4 weeks time he has gained 600 grams BIG ask i feel but realistic too so i am trying here. Some times he just goes NOPE dont want to boob. He is resting in bouncer next to me i want to feed him 2 more times if possible this morning to make up for his long sleep last night he was stirring last night more than normal but i was just to exhausted to do more than just a dummie insert. He normally isnt like that he normally is up when the rooster crows or thats his first stir. So gotta squeeze some more feeds in today. And drink that stuff the milk is just defrosting.

Woke up to a swollen lip thought oh great a colsore but i am not convinced it it no blister or even soreness just numb swollen so ill have to wait and see maybe im having a reaction to some thing i did wake with a sore throat oh man i hope i didn't swallow an insect ewwwllll

Hi Squidipa
Good to hear you are persisting with BF. Just curious if you have tried a nipple shield? I had to use one to begin with because Jett had a short tongue and couldn't attach properly, similar to TT. It makes it easier for them to latch on. Have you seen a lactation consultant? They can help you with the nipple shield if that is a possible solution. It apparently can affect supply but I haven't found that for me personally which is why it is a really good idea to see one.

Paradiva - I am from Melbourne, and quite near you actually - in Diamond Creek!
