Finally asleep! Fed at 7ish for a good 40mins. Wouldnt go to sleep. Fed at 9.10 for abt another 40mins and then my boobs couldnt take anymore so she's just after abt 40ml formula...

Ten days after birth she was 4oz up on her birth weight. God knows what she is now!

I know! And thats with her dropping a few ounzes too! Make syou happy when you see they have gained weight esp when you hav ebeen feeding them yourself so you know they have got something outta your boobs! I know: the wet nappies and dirty nappies show this but nothing shows it as well as the measurements on the scales!

So managing ok at mo with feeding myslef, expressing and the odd bit of formula and she's managing the bottles too ok apart from this morning when she refused to take EBM from a bottle from her daddy and kept opening her mouth and doing the little tongue motions she does when she's hungry: wouldnt take the bottle from me either: wanted the real McCoy!
