Belinda- I am bottle feeding Chardonnay and breastfeeding her when i have time (as horrible as that sounds, but with 6 kids sometimes i dont have the time to sit down and BF), i feed her at least once a day, i try to aim for 3 times a day. She doesnt get a full feed, i have to top her up, but at least shes getting something, which to me is a success. I can express about 60mls. I cant take the motilium cos i am allergic to maxalon and i cant take the fenugreek or similar yet until they sort out my reflux issues. Anyway, the point of what im getting to is it sounds like you are doing everything you possibly can to keep her interested. I feed Chardonnay with the tommee tippee bottles when shes not on the boob and i offer her the boob before i give her a formula top up. I would try and stick to the tommee tippee bottles over the Avent ones though, the TT teats are more like the breast. How much does Chloe weigh? My last two babies have had issues with not putting on weight so i know how stressful it is, if you need to talk im here.
Lea- Your mastitis sounds painful, i hope it clears up really really soon for you. Chardonnay poops anywhere from 1 to 3 times a day, but she's mainly formula fed. Thanks for your well wishes for C, i did take her to the childrens hospital, thats where the GP sent us. I thought about taking her to our GH but the letter the dr wrote was addressed to the childrens hospital so i thought i had better take her there, and it was full of kids with all these viruses, i started to get highly strung up about all these germs and got to the point i didnt know where to sit, i was so releived when they said go home. She hasnt improved much but she hasnt gotten any worse, so as long as she doesnt get worse thats a good sign. I cant beleive you have started doing some work again, i take my hat off to you.
Kell- I keep getting confused when i see your new username and not realising its you. You talk to me like you know me and then i go Ohhhhhh its Kell of course she knows me. Chardonnay hasnt gotten better yet but shes not getting any worse so thats good. Sorry to hear you had a sleepless night, C kept us up most of the night crying too. I hope you can get some sleep soon. Oh yes, i love my meds, thank goodness they gave them back to me, after weeks of pain im finally getting some releif. Would be nice if they could completely fix the problem though. I thought when i gave birth it would go away but its not.
