My "bug" seemed to be just a once off thing thankfully...who knows what/how/why!
Midwife came to visit this morning, and we are now officially discharged from hospital! Hayley now weighs 3.51 kg, so not quite 200g over her birth weight. The midwife was happy with that, considering she has put on about 100g over the weekend. little fatty!! We have had to up her feeds as she seemed to always be hungry, particularly at night and won't settle.
Saturday night she slept beautifully but then we paid for it last night..lol. I feel like we're starting to get into some form of routine, although I still need to fit in some daytime naps...the time just seems to fly and before I know it it's time for her next feed again.
She won't b'feed...have tried a few times and she just doesn't open her mouth wide enough or poke her tongue out enough then gets upset that it's not working so all she does is cry and make everything worse...nothing worse than a screaming baby who is trying to feed but won't/can't and I have milk dripping everywhere! Makes for a soggy mess...so I think I'll just give up on trying to b'feed and just express as much as I can for her and top up with formula as required.
