Our group is pretty quiet isn't it! I have a goal 2 weeks and I want these boys discharged from hospital it's becoming such a depressing place to be every single day.
I just need to get the boys feeding from me not the dumb tube but they only feed from me for a min or 2 then don't have the energy, quite common in prems but really depressing too.
Lleyton put on 60gs and Jackson 70gs since there last weigh in which I'm not sure when that was.
I just want to take my bubbas home!
Hey MrsS - you poor thing! It is great that they are feeding from you though, all good signs albeit slow. My first lil guy was so tired he hardly fed as well, but gradually he woke up (with a 2 day stint under lights) and that meant he was stronger to feed. Sounds like you are doing a great job.
Other than that, all good here! DS#1 getting used to sharing me with River but he is in tears on my lap at the minute so better go
Still quiet in here, where are you girls?
Going for newborn photo shoot tomorrow. Almost a 2 hour drive which was a bit silly of me but booked it in late notice so will have to grin and bear it
Hi there ladies,
Has taken me a while to post on this thread.
My baby boy Henry was born May 1st - my first baby!
Everything is going really well - he is breast feeding really well & at his 2 week checkup is back to his birth weight (actually put on 150g in the last 5 days!). He is quite content and sleeping 2-3hrs between feeds.
Welcome JMO and congratulations on little Henry!
Oh a newborn photo shoot that shounds amazing hope you get some great shots Dragonbub!
AFM - Still now news on how soon the twins will be discharged, my milk supply seems to be dropping off so i need to look quick smart into how to keep it up (im losing 100ml per pump which is every 3 hours ) The boys did really well feeding yesterday, our first really successful day, in fact whilst i was there (8.30-5) Lleyton only had 20ml fed to him through his tube! Jackson had 1 whole feed through it but also 2 successful breastfeeds and a tube top up. I cant wait to get them home!
MrsS - I BET you can't wait to get them home. Are you in hospital too or going in for feeds? Sounds like they are picking up though which is awesome, hopefully just in time for the bfing to really kick in and not expressing so much.
All good here, the newbie photo shoot was amazing! They are just like Anne Geddes pics, he looks just so beautiful. I will post a pic as soon as I get them. River has been quite settled, but doesn't really like the car at the minute. Not sure if it's the position, or just generally feeling unsettled. He was quite unsettled when we got home today after a 10 minute drive, but had a pooey nappy and was over-tired so maybe that was the problem. I tend to push my babies too far in the early weeks I think, I expect so much of them! I will just have to stay local for a bit and take it easier
Hope everyone else is doing well (those May mummies still to come),
