We got the baby bonus quickly, but it's a mystery what happened to our birth certificate.
Some information that might interest you: Jude just had his 6 week check up with the paediatrician and we discussed how Jude doesn't sleep all day and how he wants to eat from 3pm til 11pm straight (and that's being generous). The doc asked how my milk supply is at the end of the day and I said "very low" to which he gave me a knowing "ah huh".
So the concern is that Jude isn't getting enough sleep and I am not getting any down time. The concern is not about Jude's weight (apparently he gained 400g in the last week so he's now 3.7kgs). The doc said I am doing a heroic effort and Jude's weight gain is amazing (not just satisfactory or good), but something has to be done about the not-sleeping / constant feeding / low milk supply issue.
So he prescribed Maxalon, an anti-nausea medication, which has a side-effect of increasing milk supply and suggested I supplement at 3pm each day (when my milk supply starts to not satisfy Jude) with formula (because I am so bad at expressing).
I am hoping the Maxalon is enough to stimulate my milk so I don't have to supplement and in the mean time I am going to use up the EBM that I have slowly accumulated to give him a good feed and hopefully Jude will sleep better once he's being fed better.
He just downed 80mLs of EBM and promptly fell asleep. So it looks like it might work![]()
