yah! he's gained 6oz according to HVs scales since last thursday...she was happy with that! she also said to carry on just with breast but express if needed and not as neccesary!... i'm off to get some sleep now....last few weeks are starting to catch up on me. fingers crossed he keeps gaining now! xxx
Congratulations to you, I hope you're feeling very proud of yourself and your baby boy. I'm really happy to read good news on your thread today, I didn't comment before as I couldn't add anything constructive, I mix fed from pretty early as my little preemie struggled to gain weight on breast alone. But I'm so pleased to hear you've cracked it, there'll be no stopping him now. xxx
Thanks so much ladies - i feel like a huge weight has been lifted. I know we still need to keep ploughin on to keep his weight up but so pleased its on the rise and I can stop with the nightmare feedin regime.
The MW said she was so worried when she left sat that i'd cave and give in, given how hard the 2 weeks since he was born had been and how exhausted I was. Thank god for my hubby, I actually had a right emotional breakdown at one point sobbin about how I felt so bad for women who didn't have a partner/husband to get help from as I couldn't have coped or done it without hubby onside.
Mummyjackson - thanks for your msg, really made me smile. I hope you are right, I'd hate to have come this far to have to take a step back again. xxxxxxx
