How are you all going with your little bundle of joys?
Ryn - Congrats on Leib getting his tooth finally!!. i hope this gives him soem more relief as it emerges more and he sleeps a little more for you.
Michelle - Your new ticker pic is a real cutie lol,,, I wish there was a photo studio near me that could do shots like that.
Catherine - Hi, and welcome . My little man is a real fiend with the hair pulling and the little nails scratches. He gets a real kick from doing it so much,, he does it,, then stops still and watches my face expressions intently,, and if i react with an "ouch" or something,, he smiles!!!
Lisa - Boy, Quinn,,,,, he is just so clever with his crawling moves lol. They would be so cute to film
Kel - I completely understand about the not wanting to give bottles bit,, we are having a warfare about it here atm.
Well,, as for us,,, things are just not improving at all.
Griffen is on 2 hourly feedings,, I am taking activite, oats in the mornings,,,,, and am now on 60mg of motilium for a week,, reducing to 40mg, in a desperate bid to get somem more weight on him.
His weight gain the last 2 weeks was 50 grams a week,, and he has not slept through the night now for 3 weeks straight. His height is great,, it is almost through the roof of the graphs in his blue book,,, however, his weights have noe plumetted to right onto he bottom line of his charts.
He is one tall skinny boy, without a single little roll or hint of fat on him . DH wants him on a bottle,,, but he health nurses and my gp both agree as he loves feeding so much, that we are best off trying to increase my milk,, not introduce bottles.
So, for the moment,, we are on a strict plan for the motilium,, and he gets fortnightly weighins, solids twice a day,, and i have also ordered in some mothers milk herbal tea,, which is meant to help heaps too.
So, as you can imagine, I am frazzled,, and have been given more vitamin supplements etc for myself too.
Fingers crossed for the next weighin
