bun, yes we have great taste in names are you going for a third? We might have to swap lists lol
PO5, top job on Milly's weight gain! Well done! How'd she go with the needles?
illey, I find it harder to express at certain times as well, mainly get less out in the evenings, get more in the mornings. I've got an Avent pump (electric and manual) and at most I can only get 40mls out. I'm just not very good at it. I'm considering trying a Medela pump instead as I've heard they are very good.
ZF, how's the packing going? Hope Z is more co-operative for you today!
AFM, well, I went to the clinic and weighed Amelia today and she has not gained anything since last week Bearing in mind it was on a different set of scales. On the bright side I'm glad she hasn't lost any more weight. I tried topping her up with 50mls EBM in a bottle the other day and she refused to take it but happily drank from my boobies. Am at a bit of a loss now, my gut feeling says she's doing ok, I just don't want to miss anything. When I had the low supply/weight gain issues with DS I had convinced myself he was fine when in fact he was not getting enough from me at all. I don't want to go through that again.
Eluned - now that you mention it, it was the evenings that I got less when I expressed. I have the medela pump and it seems good. how did you end up finding out you son wasn't getting enough?
Just being quick, having 10min to myself.. Z was a PITA today aswell, feeding every 2hrs and taking 15-30min naps, she didn't even manage a long sleep like normal.. on the up side a friend from MG came today and kept the girls occupied while i attempted some packing.
Her little boy is Avas boyfriend... and they had a play together, then A decided NOT to have a day nap at all .
So am taking some time to myself as DP is out at the house finishing some painting, i ate tea with Z on my lap and i'm buggered.
illey, I found out that my DS wasn't getting enough mainly because he wasn't putting on much weight, average less than 70grams a week. By 12 weeks he was sooo skinny and started losing weight, I knew I had to start topping up with formula. I had the help of an LC and my CHN to eventually diagnose him having a weak suck which of course was a bad thing for my supply. It was a difficult journey but we managed to keep breastfeeding as well and even getting rid of the top ups after a few months and went back to just the breastfeeding until 14.5 months. The lack of weight gain was the biggest sign, everything else seemed to be ok at the time but now I realise it wasn't...eg he should have been having more wet nappies and he was always still screaming after a feed which I thought was wind.
