hi ladies!

i really must get around to posting up my birth story cause it was a bloody eventful one!
haha where does the time go though??

savanna was 10% under her birth weight too on discharge so they would not discharge me till she put on some weight again i was not getting much colostrum at all and my milk had not come in so they put me on a breast feeding plan. breast feed 10mins on each breast (which was damn hard as my nipple were shredded and bleeding) give 15-30mls of formula then express. i did this for a day and a half and every 3 hours and she put on over 100grams so they let me go home finally.

she has continued to put on weight and is doing really well.

anna i dont know how you can type on the computer while breast feeding a 1 week old bubs. i found it such a task to breast feed even with two hands at that stage lol
your bubs must latch on really well you lucky girl~
