I'm soooo happy today!! we had Lucas's 4 week checkup with the maternal nurse, and he's put on 720 grams in just over 2 weeks, yaaay!!!! he now weighs 3.6kgs, and he's grown 2.5cm in length!! so he's my big boy now! I just changed him before and thought i'd try him in a size 000, it fits well in length, but is still a little big on the body.
Sarah - i'm slowly weaning Lucas, and he's been drinking anywhere between 90ml to a full bottle of 120ml at a feed, I guess it just depends on how hungry they are? what formula do you use?
Leah - you do give me a giggle!! how cute singing those songs to Lucy, she obviously loves it!!
I couldn't co-sleep with Lucas, i'd be too scared i'd roll onto him!
As for DTD, we haven't done it since I was about 13 weeks pregnant, and i'm kind of scared too....am going to wait until after my 6 week check-up.
Danni - I've been expressing every now and again (before we decided to wean Lucas onto formula) not sure where that person who told you about not doing it before 6 weeks heard it from?? i'd keep trying - are you hand expressing or using a pump? I had to hand express for the first week to top up Lucas (as he was a bad sucker!!) and I could barely get anything, but I borrowed a manual pump from my sister-in-law and it's heaps easier.
