Hi Dee and congratulations on your little boy
A quick update on me - I got Amelia weighed again on Friday and she had only put on 30g since Monday (so she is now 3.13kg, birthweight was 3.29), so I am now topping her up each feed with formula and also expressing when I can. Im taking sustagen three times a day along with fenugreek tablets to try and increase my supply. The nurse said my supply should start to increase by Monday (fingers crossed!).
She has been a bit restless today but will hopefully settle down again soon.
I am getting her weighed again on Thursday so hopefully she has put on at least the 15g per day they say is normal!
baby09, fingers crossed for you. Have you looked into the lactation cookies? I'm going to make some to try and boost my supply.
Dee, what an awesome weight gain!
Well, both my boys are sick ATM (and touch wood) Tristan only has a snotty nose and is restless. Brendan also has a cough, but he's been sick for 2 weeks now
Apart from that, everything is going well here.
Hi ladies! Congratulations to you all. My name is Rachel. I had my gorgeous son Noah on June 25, 1 day late. I also have a gorgeous daughter, Grace, & she is 2. Noah weighed a hefty 4.2kgs at birth & was a long 54cm. He is a very placid, alert baby. He feeds & sleeps well. He does vomit a lot though but it doesn't seem to bother him. He gained over 330g in his first week but he was weighed today & he has since lost 90g. The nurse said its probably no big deal - especially as he hasgrown another 2 cm making him 56 cm long now, plus he is happy, alert, settled & has plenty of wet nappies- but I am not allowed to let him go longer than 6 hours overnight in between feeds until we weigh him next week. So no more long night sleeps for me this week! Got me a bit down this afternoon as didn't expect it but ok now & just hope that he puts on when he gets weighed next week.
Baby09- hope Amelia puts some extra weight on for you.
Hi Rachel, congrats Sounds like Noah is doing really well
Tristan had a better night last night. I made the Lactation Cookies last night and ate a few (they are sooo yummy) we had a much better feed and he slept a lot better too.
I'm going to get him weighed at the chemist on Friday, he was weighed last week and was only just above birthweight (3100 grams).
Welcome Rachel
I might have to give those lactation cookies a go - today hasn't been too bad, I think my milk supply is increasing and Amelia didnt need a top up with formula for her morning feed and took 40ml at midday. Hopefully it's on the improve!
Definately give them a go! My theory was I havent lost anything if I try... and if they taste horrible I'm sure Brendan would have eaten them LOL... They are really yummy and I wish I'd made two batches instead of one And I really feel like they work, my boobs feel fuller, Tristan is feeding better and thats after just a few cookies since last night!
