Elle, I read that only when you get to famine stages does it affect milk quality, but I find I need to eat a certain amount. Could you increase the good fats in your diet - avocado, oils, oily fish, nuts? I don't know much about good fats, seeing as I'm the size of a small house

Do you do breast compressions while pumping? It can increase output but also fat content. More frequent pumpng (just what you want!) too as an empty breast makes fattier milk.

Baby massage can improve digestion and help weight gain.

When time comes, here is a page o solids and increasing weight gain:

Bruno, when Elijha woke, was he awake or did he just have his eyes open but glazed over? Could it be night terrors?

Feelie, it was you who told me all that stuff somewhere else when Amber was losing weight.

Thankyou both I do do massage and compressions (cos I know you all wanted to know that! ).

Feelie, avacado = food that looks like it tastes funny, and I'm really not keen on nuts I know what you mean about more frequent pumping but will give it a bash.. seemed to have worked for you and Tobes! Have been aiming (not necessarily achieving) for every 3hrs.. will move that to every 2.5-3hrs now - I draw the line at every hour!

Ya know, I didn't have stretchmarks on my boobs until a few week ago.. how cruel is that!

They'll soon fade Elle What about stuff with oil - roast sweet potato in lots of oil? Get a good olive oil spread on crackers? Peanut or cashew butter? Can you bake or make butter cream with olive oil spread? Dip bread in olive oil and balsamic vinegar? Drink a pint of olive oil a day?

OH wants us to go pub tonight but my hair is dirty and I smell like milk. Toby doesn't like the hair-dryer.

I've got a cleaner starting on Monday, because I can't vacuum with LO, how awful is that!
