Morning All :hello: We're back from the Paediatrician appointment, mixed feelings. Are they trained not to be enthusiastic or something?

First of all, we've now got a referral to the eye specialists because Andrew didn't focus on and follow her face. He was too distracted by the black plug & power cord plugged into the white wall next to him! Doesnt she know anything about babies and colours?

Then, she's not happy with his weight gain (he's now 7lb). For a week, we are to try and increase his milk intake by 10%, which will be difficult as we struggle to get his current feeds down him (100ml EBM a time). If that doesn't work, then I think she's going to force us onto a mix of EBM & formula, which will be annoying as I'm proud of the fact that he's been almost completely breastmilk fed. She wants us to hold off starting weaning until at least after the next 4wkly appointment.

I now have to stop stressing about all this, as it'll affect my milk production too, and remember that we still have a beautiful little boy.

Tigs, we are going for the eyesight referral at the end of the month because Dylan wouldnt look at the red block !! In all fairness, we do think he has a slight sight problem, but not as bad as is being made out !! They seem to think him wanting to eat his hands isnt a good enough reason for not looking at the shiny red thing !!!

MM, Whenever the Go Compare man comes on, Toby stops feeding and looks at him!

Aargh! Tesco have cancelled my delivery. I am livid, there is barely two inches of snow in the ground but apparently the drivers haven't made it into work! The next available slot is Monday! What use is that? My delivery slot was 11-1 and they text me at 12pm to say it was cancelled. So no Henry and I have to go out in the cold, which will do my cold no good at all!

Sorry for the rant.

Hugs to tigs over the milk. I agree that the professionals have to err on the side of caution.

Boogelly- yay for Isla being a proper person now, and better sleeping.

Sleep here was less good than usual, awake at 1, 5 then 6 am. Brought him into bed with me at 7am for a feed and he dozed till 9am which was good.

Hugs to anyone else in need. We are off to wrap up and face the supermarket.

Buttons I've heard sony are quite good about sorting out faulty products, maybe worth giving them a call if you can find a number, apparantly they just courier out a new one and swap it there and then, x
