Thanks the Bear We will keep going the way we are at the moment, but I would be interested to hear how you go, I have spoken to DH about your methods too and we are going to keep it in mind, I have a couple of premmie dummies which would do the job should we need them!

Squidipa, I change Nakita 6-7 times a day, usually halfway through a feed, (as she gets a bit worked up if I do it before, chucks up if I do it after, and she usually poos not long after waking or partway through a feed, so saves me getting sprayed with poo or wizz ) I would say of those nappies 6 out of 7 are pooee, about the same wet, some not very wet, maybe just 1-2 are very wet. she has 7 feeds on average a day... Our MW if very happy with this number and variety!!

You mentioned wetness but not poo? If there isn't much poo, perhaps he is constipated? What are his legs doing, does he bring them up to his chest, perhaps windy? Sorry for the million questions just trying to see what could be happening.

Also when was Josiah weighed the last two times, before or after feeds, also how wet/pooey was his nappy before each weigh-in, just wondering if he had just emptied his bowels before the second weighin and not the first (can make a pretty huge difference. I wouldn't be too concerned though about the figure itself, just more about whether his bowels etc are working well or at least the same as they were previously with the larger weight gains. Sometimes bubs will poo and wee more than others so doing comparisons can be misleading as well.

Well off to make a cuppa and cut up some bun as I hear little miss starting to stir right on for her 4pm feed - gee she's a good alarm clock!!!
