Haven't had a chance to get in here lately. Madeleine had her maternal health appt last week & she has stacked on the weight she's gained 700gms in 2 weeks & she's up to 10pd's (from 7pd 12) she is drinking anywhere from 120ml 3 hourly or 200ml over a 1 1/2 hour feed.
We had the breastfeeding clinic again, still no luck. This time she refused to suck so I'm inclined to think that she will never get off the bottle. I've made a commitment to express until 8 weeks should we not be able to get her on, but after that I don't think I can cope with the 3 hour expressing around the clock. The motilium has helped my supply which is great I still need it to increase more as I'm having to suppliment with formula, kbowman are you taking 2 tablets 3 times a day? I know when I was only on the 1 tablet my supply didn't increase at all.
Madeleine still has trush, i've finished my medication but I don't think it's helped at all, I don't know what to try next. Her tongue is still so thick & she hates the oral gel & drops. Wish there was something more natural to give her.
Calebsmum, sorry to hear Seven is keeping you up. I'm sure its going to get easier with the sleep soon.
