    Okay, so I haven't posted!

    Dropped into the HV clinic this morning, mainly because it was my own HV & the student on duty, and I got on okay with them! They'd spoken with my neonatal consultant/paediatrician, who was adamant that premmies shouldn't be weaned until 5-6m corrected age, despite research and evidence to the contrary (5-6m actual age). My HV disagrees, and is happy for us to continue. They now have to [strike]spy[/strike] report back with Andrew's weight gains.

    Anyway, he's put on eight (yes, 8) ounces in just six days :j :j :j

    That's a combination of premmie formula feed once a day (for the calories) and weaning (extra calories). So he's now a stonking 7lb 11oz. Still tinier than your babies, but beginning to catch up now. I can move him up another clothing size (Mr T "early baby" at 7.5lb) :rotfl:

    Hi dora :) Hows you hun ??
    I know what you mean about them growing up so quick, Jasmine has been invited to her very first ever sleepover this Sat night and I am petrified of letting her go, but have to cuz everyone else is !!!

    Hi MM x I'm ok thanks, Daniel is going for his 2nd settling in session with the CM tomorrow all on his lonesome :( Just upsets me as it brings Monday even closer.

    Aww a sleepover how grown up. I never went to one when I was young as I wasn't very popular, although when I was 14 my friend did have one and I got so drunk I remember throwing up in the kitchen sink :eek: She'll have a great time though :D

    Hello all,

    Ive been lurking but cant remember what Ive read :o

    MM - Dylan looks like he's loving his chair, hope the bath seats as big a success.

    Karen - love the piccies, the sleepy ones fab.

    Tigs - Go Andrew! The weanings definately agreeing with him isnt it?

    Chopsticks - Im having the same problems now with Isla refusing to feed without the shield even though I know she can from one side. Its good to hear she might suddenly just give it up as like you say its a nightmare feeding in public with them.

    Erm, I cant remember anything else sorry.

    I went to get my tooth out this morning then found out it was only a consultation and Ive got to go back on Monday, Isla was having a screaming fit in the waiting room with my auntie so I had to bring her in on my knee where she proceeded to smile and charm everyone and anyone.

    You'd never have guessed she was up at 12, 2, 4, 5 & 6.30 *yawn* Who swapped my little girl who would sleep from 1-8/9 am with no probs? I hate jabs messing sleeps up!
