Re: Flynns update, its a rollercoaster!
lol not quite!
I'm actually having a bit of help from Karricare gold!
Supply was going down (hardly surprising after 100 days plus of expressing apparently) and the only option was to take drugs to increase supply. These drugs are for nausea but stimulate prolactin. However the big gland problems still there and i've been having tests etc done, so really didn't feel the need to fill my poorly body with crap i don't need. After much consulting with my lactation nurse i decided to stop beating myself up about it and do every other feed, its obviously working
PS, he's 16 weeks old today

Re: Flynns update, its a rollercoaster!
If he's 16 weeks, could he be teething? Where is his development up to with such things given he was out early?

I realise the thought of teeth is really something you want to think about right now.

Re: Flynns update, its a rollercoaster!
Mine were 7lb 11oz at birth (huge long things) ... He's bigger than they were and they were all 3 weeks over... Brewed longer for that extra something.
If he's 16 weeks, could he be teething? Where is his development up to with such things given he was out early?

Nope, his corrected age is nearly 4 weeks, we take all his developmental stuff from that age, so pray no teeth yet
But hes actually fairly advanced cos hes holding his head up really well
Thanks everone! x
