He was born 9lb 3 and after a month of mommies milk he's finally pasted his birthweight and weighing 10lb 4. His last weight check was about 10 days and he gained a lb. it makes me happy that I'm still able to express and he's gaining nicely . The freezer is start to fill up with milk I've freezed and he's having fresh milk daily . We do bottles in day and I breastfeeding at night to save expressing and keep up supply plus he's getting fed so we all win.
I do find myself wanting to breastfeed more but expressing in the day works best and if I'm and don't want to take the pump I will just take 1 bottle and then breastfeed him .
I'm happy with the way it's worked out and glad he can latch to.
Cody did suffer from tongue tie and we had that sorted after about 2 weeks . The lady at the hospital was lovely and doubled checked to see if he needed it doing and explained it all. It only took a cut of the string but under tongue and it was all done . He had a bit of a cry but was soon back to sleep. So I definately recommend it when they are younger .
In the first month I was lucky to have my husband at home and he's only just gone back to work and the week has gone pretty quick .
We've had the usual checks with health visitors and also a check up for his jaundice which came back high but after 4 weeks he's looking a normal colour .
At the moment he's just got a heart murmur check in September then the usual hv checks and injections when the time comes .
I wouldn't change having the 3 children close together at all. Days can be long but they keep me smiling and we just get on with it.
Caleb is going full time school in September and I think it will help him so much. He's come on a lot since nursery. Will do a separate post for caleb.
Here's some photos of Cody through the past month 😍
