Big Hugs Squidipa for the loss of weight, sounds like the shield is doing the trick, at least he can now stay on!! yay!! You should borrow a breast pump, was it Mel that mentioned she had one you could borrow? And try some expressing tog et an idea what your supply is like, but please remember that you will never get as much out with a pump and Josh can get out by sucking.
With the pumping I would recommend just pumping after each feed to build up enough to see if you can get a full bottle/feed I would recommend 120-150ml for Josh, it may take a while as it depends on what your supply is, and please don't get disheartened if it isn't a lot, as after a full feed I hardly get 5-10ml, then try a full express and give him the bottle instead.
about nipple size!! I was in hospital when I got one, I am large
You can join MT and mine expressing parties each evening! We express, discuss what we have expressed, what has been different about that day. etc.
Got an update on my SIS, she will be in for at least 5 days, they had given her drugs which hopefully prevented a full blown stroke, but they are still not certain what is happening, all the sympotoms are identical to the last time she had a stroke (a couple of years ago) so it is jsut a waiting game at the moment.
Thankyou for you I really appreciate them!!
Gotta take the washing off the line before it gets cold and i have to leave it out for tomorrow!
