Well, I told them I was sure he wasn't 59cm long, buts thats the official recorded length. Went to see my MCHN yesterdayy and he measured 55cm, so unless he's shrunk, he probab;t wasn't quite that long!
He did put on 200gm for the week, which was rally good considering we've had lots of b/f issues. MCHN says I can let him sleep at night this week, and not wake him unless its more than 8 hours since a feed, and we'll see how he weighs in next Friday, and how it affects his sleep patterns.
I have got a medela mini electric, its great, if a bit loud. The hospital grade ones that you can hier at the chemist are a lot quieter, but I couldn't get one in time (really needed to get my supply up and milk in asap to avoid comp feeds)
The amount I can express varies a whole lot, last night I only got 20ml, but just now I've got 125ml. It tends to be more in the morning.
Raspberry leaf tea really helps with milk supply too.
