Looks like everyone's little ones are starting to develop thier personalities. I love this time...sometimes. Not liking the 0430am wake-ups AT ALL! Last 2 nights Katie has decided that this is the time she would like to play and wiggle and fart for 2 hours. The phrase not happy Jan really springs to mind. But boy can she fart, she puts a grown man to shame. Pity it's not an olympic sport otherwise I would have her in training now. Had my first MCHN home visit during the week, and we are above birht weight after having lost exactly 10%, and having a b**** of a domicillary midwife telling me it was my fault she had lost the weight and was ever so slightly jaundiced because for the first time I let her sleep for 6 hours straight the previous night. Bugger that, I was tired and she didn't wake up so obviously she was not hungry and she feeds like a dream anyway. I so wanted to call her and tell her to get stuffed after this appointment but I couldn't remember her name!

Annabelle: Yep I've heard of motilium, but you need to take a lot more then the recommended dosage for nausea for it to have an effect on your milk. Saying that though, 450g in a week is very very good. That's about 40g a day when they are generally happy with about 20g. So you probably don't have a supply issue. You can take fenugreek and blessed thistle tablets to increase supply though. Is it chucking up with wind or some time after a feed? I've had a couple of absolutely spectacular vomits here that were caused by trapped wind, and then she went back on for another feed afterwards. If it's some time later you could always try keeping him upright for about 15min post feed and see if that makes a difference. If I remember correctly I think it gives the milk time to curdle and thicken and therefore harder to regurgitate. Mind you a little bit of fluid spread out flat can look like a lot, it's amazing how much space 5ml can take up on a surface! How is Edward coping with the new arrival, I think he is only a couple of months older then Lilly. I think to Lilly Katie is now part of the furniture. She will wave hello at her and give her kisses (and then scrubs her lips, I keep telling her she has girl germs herself so therefore can't catch them from her sister!) But otherwise she generally ignores her.

I hope nobody is to sleep deprived and everyone is recovering well and enjoying themselves with their new families!
