    Hi ladies,

    well, my normal midwife came back from holidays yesterday and she's not happy with Amy's weight gain so I am officially a cow being milked now every 3 hourly feed. Amy just isn't sucking for long enough to get enough milk and so my milk started to decrease. So now I have to work on getting my supply up. Had to go to the hosp to see the lactation consultant today. Am on Maxolon every 8 hours and need to feed 3 hourly. Haven't been getting much milk expressed but it is increasing so we'll see. Have another weighing on Sunday to see how she's going. If the Maxolon doesn't work, I can go to a naturopath or formula it is. So wish me luck with the bo'obies. I'm not too worried about going on formula at all. It will just be so nice to not have to worry about the feeding and start enjoying my baby and all the other things that come along with being a mum. Prob won't be on here much over the next few days cos I need to sleep before I totally lose it. My problems are nothing compared to what Maz and little Mateauz is going through. My thoughts are with you all Maz xxx Luv Nik and Amy xxx

    Hindonly, it is good that she is sleeping and a really happy Bub. I guess being a first time Mum, you always have questions whether or not you are doing the right thing!

    Dayl, negative about the cot! She didn't go down into it at all and was screaming. I cuddled her and she went straight to sleep, she's definately a Mummy's girl isn't she! I hope you work out why Fraser is waking every 2.5 hours.

    Nik, good luck with getting your supply up hun! Madeleine is on formula and she's a happy Bub, it's really not bad being on formula. I'm sure there are Mums out there that disagree with it but I am such a happy Mum now I don't have to worry about the breastfeeding issues. I guess each to their own but if you really want to breastfeed and you are all for it then I hope it works out for you! Good luck

    Madeleine was feeding 120-160mL every 3 to 3.5 hours...now she is taking 100mL every 2.5 hours...does anyone know why this would be so? At night, she'll take in a 160mL feed though! Hmmm...puzzles me.

    Waiting for my cheeky monkey to wake up for a feed and then we'll be off to the shopping centre to grab a couple of things and have a family outing.

    Have a great day everyone!

    Love Bindy xo
