Hi Cherryblossum! This thread isn't usually like it was yesterday, rest assured...

Just with regards to your bub and demand feeding... My Billy (who was born on Jan 24th) lost 15% of his bodyweight after we came out of hospital. I was so upset. We couldn't work out what was wrong but as it turned out, I had no milk! It was due to massive blood loss during the birth or something, so we had to go onto formula, after trying to increase milk supply by expressing, medication etc.

Anyway, Billy could go for ages without wanting a feed. Sometimes I worry but the MCHN has told me not to. As long as they are gaining weight and doing ok, it doesn't matter. He is still only having the amount of formula that it says on the tin a 4 month old would have but they reckon it's ok.

Neither myself or my partner are at all petite (in fact, I think I fall into the obese category.. LMAO) but Billy is little. He's long but lean.

I wouldn't worry yourself too much as long as Amelie is going ok.
