Hi girls.. I still stalk the thread, just don't post alot. I read each & every post.

We had Byron's 6 week (corrected age) check up on Thursday & the paed says he's so impressed with Byron's progress that he won't need to see him again He normally see's the premmies at 6 then 12 months but he has no concerns about Byron at all. That was so good to hear.

I went in with a list of questions & was so re assuring to get the answers. I thought he had reflux but the paed said it was cause of my fire hose of BB's & that if I lay back whilst feeding it should help. Low & behold it has. Byron now feeds for 20 - 30 mins instead of 10min & he doesn't projectile vomit anymore. He also said that bf babies can go weeks without pooing & it's no concern.

I also asked about wind/gas pains. Apparently it gets worse at 6 weeks, then will get better between 8 & 10 weeks. He said I could give 2mls of Mylanta before a feed for the next couple of weeks to get us through it.

Byron has started sleeping right through the night. From 8.30pm to 5.00am, but he doesn't sleep as much during the day. He is still very unsettled at dinner time, but we're learning how to deal with it.

He is still getting his play/aerobics & I am starting to see the benefits to it. He can now roll from his tummy to his back. It's so cute to see. Plus his neck control is fantastic. His flexibility has improved so much too.

BELFIE - My sister fed 2 of her babies by expressing and giving it in a bottle. She fed her first for 5 months that way, & the 2nd for 4 months. There's nothing wrong with that at all. You're still giving your little guy the best possible nutrition

RE: Infacol. I use it too & find it very effective.

RE: MIL's. I have a great one. Sorry, can't complain about anything there.

Have a great day!
