jenjams - DH goes back to work Monday week on the 8th, hopefully just after her 4 week growth spurt!!

glad you got in to the breastfeeding clinic!! let us know how it goes. you're meant to be there for a few feeds. will your toddler be able to go also? we went back to the MCHN again today to weight Caroline and she put on 40g in two days which is right on whats expected but then she wanted to book me in to the breastfeeding clinic anyways in case Caroline wasn't getting enough milk through the nipple shields. I declined the referral for now because she's putting on the weight again and had that massive gain before the no gain and has started settling again re; feeds and sleeps. even if that changes again as things tend to I figure that she's made an improvement so that's obviously a positive thing (and she has tons of soaking wet nappies so she's also getting the milk in). the regular MCHN is back for our appt next week so that will be interesting to see how that goes. My SIL said that mum's in her mum's group have seen the one that I have been seeing (she just fills in when the regular one is away) and most haven't been happy with her advice so I don't feel so bad politely refusing it!
