Kim/Becky- my niece now 4 had clicky hips when she was a bub and like becky's friend wore a cast/splint for a period of time. It was fixed thru this process and 4 years on you wouldn't know she had a problem. The cast was a bit awkward and she looked a bit odd - but it fixed her hip so was worth it in the end. I know it is not something that you need atm, but at least if it does turn out to be a problem it has been picked up now and not months or years down the track. I'll be keeping my fingers crossed for you both.
Viv - I'm starting to question bf too. I have actually just finished giving him formula in the hope he sleeps more than an hour. He spends so long at my boob, but I think it is mainly comfort sucking and only gets the foremilk which doesn't knock him out like the hind milk. I am also thinking that I will express more often so get the hind milk into him that way. I really want to keep with the bf but won't be too upset if it doesn't take. He only put on 150gr last week and after what Kim has been told am now concerned he is not getting enough! Agree with Lizzy's comments about nurses and stats and graphs!
Kim - keep your chin up. You are doing the best you can which from here is looks pretty impressive, given you are juggling 2 babies. I am barely coping with one!
L only slept an hour last time, so hopefully with the formula I can get more than an hour out of him. Think I will try to get some zzzs myself.
