Just a quick one today. Started Liam on Heinz Nurture Saturday night. What a difference! To start with - it looks like milk!! All smooth and flowing. Lactogen always seemed heavy and slightly grainy. seems to be easier for him to 'pass' too.

Had a big day yesterday. DH was back at work and I was driving his big chunky 4WD (while he's got my little 3door buz box. ). Had our 6 week check up which seemed quick and irrelevent. They took Liams measurements (4.8kg now - up 1.2kg from birth, 57cm - up 4cm from birth) asked how my c-section wound is going and were happy and that was about it. Liam smiled and laughed at all the staff, threw up all over him me and the floor in the waiting room , and was generally really well behaved.
Then went to see the LC. She asked what was going on, then got me to try to feed him without the sheild - he latched right on and stayed there the little bugger!! LOL The only difference from home is that i didn't have a pillow under him, which ive found to be the difference between it working or not at home since. I've been feeding him at home without the shield for most feeds now (unless he's too tired/fussy etc). He's not having a lot yet, but he's staying on and keeps latching on fine, so it will now be a slow process of cutting down the formula amounts given and building up my supply while being a little stubborn with him since I know he'd prefer the quick and easy bottle. She gave me some good tips too, and just a bit of confidence that we can realistically go back to bf for the most part.

I have to laugh, people keep telling me how calm and in control I look, especially given he's my 1st. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA I always knew I'd make a good actress.

I'll have to come back and read all the posts I've missed, so sorry, no personals today. Hope you're all going well with your li'l ones.
