thanks shell!! you're lovely. nurse said that he's fine, he looks good and has enough wet nappies, so he is getting enough. i give him the boob and top up. if he has fomula, he's taking more than what they work out he should get. his arms and legs are chubby so he's not skinny. so i dunno why he's not putting on more wgt.the other thing is i'm afraid he'll grow up to be this little kid and get bullied etc. i got bullied in school, and it was terrible.

im glad he's feeding better w the shield. maybe he;s being fussy after the needles? dunno, just guessing.. maybe they change the way they want to feed? it's hard not to get stressed isnt it, when you just want to attach properly and drink well and fill his tummy. i get stressed too, sometimes he keeps detaching, other times he chomps. i get a bit annoyed then i feel bad.

glad doni is back soon. can you go with him on trips? it might be a change for you and you wont hve to be alone. being alone is so full on.
