Thanks Jillie, me too. Don't think I realised just what a trauma I had built it into in my mind.

But for someone who cries over the NSPCC ads on tv, I am really surprised that I managed to hold it together today. At least I know Tuesday will be easier.

Was just admiring your new photos of Kian, what a cutie. xxx

harley - glad it all went OK. My creche won't accept made up bottles! They make up each bottle up individually even though I said they didn't have to.

Jack has had his 5th poo of the day :eek: We did Minor Illness at Tiny Stars last week and she said anymore than 6 then worry. He is now having some nappy free time cos I'm not putting his bedtime nappy on now.
OH is worried he'll poop everywhere :rotfl:

Im back, caught up
glam I can't understand why they took jack away to test his sugars ?!
Chris was tested by heel plick and I've just remembered I was told "if they're low he HAS to have some formula" :mad: if it was the me now I'd tell them to f off though icant believe they didn't offer to show me how to express if nessesary!
All arbitary now as he ended up FF anyway but not the point.

Anyway news of the day:in 7 to 10 days I'll have an iCandy cherry in berry blue (which is actually more of a teal colour much better in RL than the website pic!)

Sami, formula top up is something I looked into with Amber because there would be a high risk of her having low sugars. Expressing colostrum in the first few days is hard and you get very little. If the baby is struggling to feed enough from you to keep their sugars up then formula top ups (or donated milk) is, in my mind, a far better choice than being put on a drip. She fed most of the night and was getting a lot of colostrum (it was dribbling out her mouth and she did a big sick with lots of milk so from that she was feeding well) but still her sugar levels dropped. After a 30min feed they had dropped further, so I requested a formula top up which was cup fed. Unfortunately it wasn't enough for her and she ended up on a drip anyway.

The problem is that the lower the sugar levels go, the sleepier they get, the harder it is to get them to feed, the lower they drop. And with brain damage being a risk of low sugar levels, I wasn't messing about.
