Why do HVs discourage rusks? Are they still full of sugar or did they change the recipe recently?

In the case of Farleys, it's because they know the babies won't get to eat any of them - the mums will eat them all! Or is that just me?

Nipping on briefly to say thank you to the Fairies for my fenugreek, but hopefully I'll be able to pick up my domperidon prescrip from the docs tomorrow morning (instead of Monday), thanks to the Neonatal Nurse getting on the case. I'll keep hold for the moment and maybe (with your permission) re-Fairy if I don't use them.

oh, sugar that seems like very good news. no surgery has to be good!! been thinking about you and your little family a lot.

Can i ask opinions/experience on changing milk?
I know they say not to, but apart from the last 2 nights, i had a happy contented lil baby boy who slept through the night and went 4-5hours between feeds, and now i have a cranky lil boy who wants fed every 2ish hours, and is waking at 3am for a bottle.!! He is taking 9oz each time and is only 15weeks old.
I was thinking of changein his milk from SMA gold (yellow tin) to SMA Extra hungry (blue tin)...any thoughts, opinions, experence greatly welcomed!!

My permission? Yeah, of course

How are things going at home now? Is Marley off work with you?

The suggested dose of Domperidone for increasing milk supply is 3 x 3 tablets daily but my doc will only prescribe me them for 1-2 x 3 daily (but I usually just take 3 once in the evening ). I get 84 a time and he won't put them on repeat for me because it's not their official use so I have to phone up and put in a request and cross my fingers they don't refuse everytime

Thanks lovely! He's still not allowed to eat and is exhausted and now feels worse than he did before - which I am taking as a sign that it's working.

Good luck Weezl - come back soon and let us know!

I'm off back to the hospital to celebrate my husband not being at death's door :j
