Babies Born February 2008

Ah ok.
Laxman falls asleep, but as soon as he detaches he searches for the nipple again. after 40mins, he's still hungry. because i think im giving so little, we top up w formula and that satisfies him. im going to follow up with the nurse again tomorrow. I dont know if i should just continue feeding him, but that could take a very very long time..

Just a quick note before bed,
Our sleepy baby didn't last and she fed 3hourly all night and most of today! Hopefully she is having a growth spurt.
Well hopefully everyone has a good night --I am a bit nervous about tomorrow as my DH goes back to work we will see how we go!
Have a good night everyone

Ooooooo Kirsten - sorry to hear about the infection. Hopefully antibiotics will clear it up really quick.

Esme - I have a Medala mini electric pump. Just starting pumping yesterday so have no idea what I am doing. Using Avent bottles.

Thanks for all your feed back on the noises.

I too have been feeding every 3hrs lately. One night it was 2.5hrs on the dot. Boy was that a LOOOOONG night. I have a feeling there is a growth spurt due. I cannot think of any other reason for this change in feed patterns.
Welcome all girls..... Another princess. How lovely. I bet her sisters love her!
Prama, it should only take a day or two of persisting to increase ur supply. But everyone is different *hugs* You are so brave honey. U r trying so very hard.... I hope things improve for u soon.

Thanks Katkins - I think Laxman is having a growth spurt too, he's been feeding every 2hrs, 2.5 etc and takes breast milk and then formula. i think my supply is increasing but not sure if it will be enough for him when he goes back to normal. I'll still continue with 40 mins and stop and see if he wants more or is just being greedy. He's also been mucousy and hasnt slept well. We just put some saline nasal drops up his nose and used the suction aspirator to get some phlegm out. it was a relief to see some come out. Joys of parenthood, seeing poo and getting rid phlegm makes you feel good.
off to see how the nappies are washing.
hope Bry is doing well. how are his big sisters?
