Hi girls. I hope it is ok if I hang out in here with you guys. Campbell was due in this group! I am also popping into his actual birth group but I know most of you guys and would like to keep chatting.

HJ - I always use a new container for each lot of expressed milk but I don't think it would matter if you combined providing it is just milk from the same day and you freeze it that day also. The more times you open the container it is stored in the more chance you have of introducing nasties to it. If you are only expressing small amounts, why don't you try freezing it in ice cube trays (the covered ones would be best). That way you are not wasting a big container for a small amount if milk and then you can just defrost as many cubes as required!

I also have a medela swing and it is still going strong after exclusively expressing for Caitlin and now for Campbell.

Nickle thanks for the info on the motilium dosage. I have increased what I am taking and have now seen an increase in supply.

Campbell had his 6 week check up with his paed last week and is now 3.7kg a 1200g increase from birth which is great. We are now putting a thickener into his bottles to try and reduce his spewing (he had been spewing for 4 hrs between feeds) and now he barely brings anything up which is great. We have had the odd 6 hour stint between feeds over night but for the most part he is only making it 4 hrly.

Anyway, I hope all the babes are behaving! Enjoy xx
