Hi Girls,

Well I have found you all, took awhile to realise that the baby thread had started.

Sounds like everyone is going really well.

Jack is going well, he is a little porky and put on 320gms in 6 days. I am using a nipple shield at moment due to him having latching issues, between my flat nipples and his short tongue. So I was really happy with his weight gain, goes to show the shields aren't reducing my milk supply.

Re dummies, at this stage I haven't given Jack one, I'm sure I will though. My other 2 boys both had dummies. I used the Nuk ones. Re nipple confusion my eldest son was fed using a nipple shield til he was 5 months old, (he latched onto breast on his own after that) plus he also had a dummy and he was confused at all between the two.

So far Jack is a fairly settled baby, is pretty much feeding 3 to 4 hourly. Have had a couple of unsettled nights, think it was wind. I'm doing OK, had a slight touch of Mastitis on the weekend managed to feed through it though so that was good.

Sorry for the selfish post will try and get back into the swing of keeping up with everything.
