Sorry havent been back online been flat out with the two girls Havent had time to read either.
Tara had her PAED checkup, things are so so. The good news is she is 55cm long and head circ now 38cm all going well and average on the baby graph, the not so good news is her weight,sheis on the 25% percentile, this worries me, I demand feed her my supply is good enough too yet she is not gaining as much as others, my PAED says its ok for time being, just watch and see what happens.
The other news is she has a flat head on the side she always sleeps on and feeds on. So I have to make sure I elevate her shoulder a bit every 2nd sleep so she sleeps with her head to the other side and also feed her facing different ways, she has only fed facing one way since birth heat she didnt attach properly. If it doesnt improve in 3 months have to see a physio. Also her stork marks havent faded on her forehead, the PAED says its no harm just a feature on face if its still there in few months we can see a dermatologist and talk about lasering it off, no way I say apparently its done under general anesthetic. So thats my news for the time being. Its a bit depressing so ive been laying low at home trying to cheer up and enjoy being with the girls instead of falling in the depression rut again.
Zee im so sorry to hear you are sick, sounds like you have what I had its awfu.l. I had it for 10 de she ays, 3 days of it at its worst like you are saying so keep well hon stay in bed as much as you can and keep your fluids
Feeb - honey I hate seeing you go through this pain with the midwife/health nurse and the weight gain of Jacob she sounds not supportive at all for your feelings and how worried it makes you. Can you switch nurses? I think I told you before but I had the same issues with Julia, I was beside myself, she hardly gained any weight at all from 3 weeks - 6 weeks 40g if that. The health nurse made me feel so so so bad, I had tresillian visit me and try and help, they couldnt help so I saw a LC and we monitored my supply for 3 days expressing only (turned out my supply was so low in the afternoon and night so they recommended topping up with formula because there was no weight gain with Julia for so long. So I topped her up with formula lunchtime and last feed of the day. Im not sure if you mentioned but is your supply ok or is it just his metabolism putting on weight slowly? can you see a PAED and get their advice on the weight issue?
