so last wednesday we had Lewis weighed and he'd lost half a lb, this is the 1st time he's ever lost weight, even when he was 1st born he never lost the usual 10% of body weight, he stayed the same weight to start with then just kept gaining, the health visitor says it's probably gone to his height, yet she never measured him, but to be honest she's probably right, he still looks like a wee chumbawumba and i think he's doin better weight wise than a lot of CDH kids and he IS on the charts which is good, but i know the hospital won't be happy etc even though we are, but anyway onto good news,
we've managed to get Lewis back onto 4 hourly feeds, it takes about hour to feed him his 150mils, in 2 halfs with a half hour break between but still better than 3 hourly, this time thought i'll be in no hurry to try and push him into taking more mils during the day so we can cut a night feed, i don't mind getting up in the night, to me we've managed to cut a feed byt getting to 4 hourly anyway which is great, 6 n half months old and 3 hourly feeds isn't good lol he's thriving, he's fair filling out and is happy as larry as usual, so if my son's happy then i'm happy :) oh and we've decided to switch to baby led weaning for lewis he's happier feeding himself he won't take anything i offer to feed him with.
he's currently shouting and beating lumps out of his jumperoo so i'm away to rescue the toy and get cuddles off my hero :)
Happy birthday

not sure if i know you but thanks
Claire logan. Cant imagin how hard it has been, but he is a beautiful little boy
he is thanks but am biased, it has been hard, still is but when you don't get any help from anywhere you just have to learn to get n with it, do your own research and find your own answers and things to try,it's a rollercoaster that's for sure
Sorry you aren't getting help from anywhere! Do you think the weight loss could have been from his tooth cutting through? You are doing an amazing job with him, keep it up!!
Nicolle you may be right, probably between that and the fact that he took a growth spurt up the way, was suppose to get him weighed again on wednesday past but had visitors drop in s didn't make the clinic, thank you so much, always nice to hear :)
