Kirsty slept really well last night, she went down at 7:45pm, we heard her cry sometime after 1am but I'm unsure what time, hubby got up and replugged her and that was her until 5am, I got up and gave her a BF and she went back to sleep until just after 7am. All in all, a good night.
I could tell by my 5am feed that my milk had slowed down again so when I got up this morning I decided I would pump at each feed time, but offer Kirsty a bottle - 2oz BM/3oz formula - and if she finished the bottle or drank some, but looked for booby afterwards, I would allow her to BF. She did very well indeed, she drank most of her bottles at each feed and seemed satisfied. She took a 5 minute BF just after noon but other than that she didn't seem to "miss" her booby.
I pumped 2oz of BM for each bottle and topped it up with 3oz formula. She mostly drank 3-4oz each bottle. It doesn't sound much but formula is more filling and drinking from a bottle is new so the volume doesn't concern me right now. As long as she tries and drinks some, I'm a happy mummy!
In a TMI news update - Kirsty has 2 poos today!!! This is FAB as she has been having a lot of poo trouble lately. I'm so pleased for her, she must have had sore tumtums with being bunged up and I know it has been uncomfortable at times for her to pass her poos.
