Bindy - awesome weight gain for Madeleine!!!!!! how do you go expressing 150ml?? i'm finding it hard to express that much every feed!
Haroula, I don't express that amount! Madeleine is formula feeding quite a bit now. It works really well for us both!! She still gets some of my milk, just not 150mL every few hours!! Also hun, the midwife today told me to put them in the bassinette after each feed and just gently pat them and walk away! They must learn to go to sleep on their own apparently otherwise it might be harder later on. Well...I wasn't aware of this so I'll see how we go. My DP has put her down after each feed today in the bassinette and she's gone straight to sleep which is fantastic! I have a dummy for Madeleine too, she spits it out a bit but sometimes she likes it. There is no "rule book" to say what is right and wrong, just go with your intuition I say and do what's best for you!
