Trish - 140mls in 15 mins is amazing. It takes me about an hour to get that much. Mind you I am using an Avent single electronic one. That and my dodgy supply really makes the whole expressing thing an effort. I would think using the calc (weight in kilos x 150mls / no. feeds per day) would tell you how much he should have.
Viv - no I'm not underfed. I think that perhaps I am not BF'ing/ expressing enough and hence supply is low. Very off-putting when L screams when I put him on the boob. Doesn't mind the EBM mind you so its just me he has problems with

Intro of solids - has anyone given their bubs rusks or other things to suck on before starting the farex? The Robin Barker book I have suggests this before starting solids for real.

MIL suggested that a way of getting L to sleep thru is to give him water when he wakes overnight. She said he'd soon learn not to wake up because he won't get any food. DH reckons I need to feed him because he is hungry. I usually BF him at 3amish. He will then only sleep thru to around 5 - 6am. So thinking that tonight I will give him 200mls formula or EBM if I have enough and see if that knocks him out until 7am.
