hi ladies....it's been a ehile,I know, but I'm just not finding alot of time to chat anymore....Trinity still isn't gaining weight :( and when I went to the doctor yesterday she said I have to give her only formula for a whole week! I've been exclusively b___stfeeding and I'm now going through a depression bc she's not gaining...the doc. told me to pump and store my milk for the week and I have to write down everytime she feeds and go back to see her next thursday to see if there's any weight gain. If there's not, then she'll draw blood to see if it's a medical reason...but she thinks I just don't have enough milk.....she's just not getting enough, which I guess is possible bc she's sooo much more satisfied with a bottle. but....I'm still putting her to my b___st as often as I can so she suckles enough to keep my milk. She had her 3 shots yesterday and is just not herself today...running a fever of 100.3 so she's sleeping alot.....I'll keep everyone posted on her...PLEASE keep her in your prayers...she's 8 weeks old now and still weighs 7lbs.13oz...BUT...she gained in inches :) 2 inches longer (22" now) and she's hitting all of her milestones for this age...smiling,cooing..ect...so everything else looks good :) just needs to pack on a few pounds....wish I could just give her a few of mine...haha! ok...I'm going to go cudle with her now...let me know if you guys have a some good suggestions on building up my milk. I drink a ton of water and my doctor suggested eating fennel seeds?? drinking mother's milk tea??? anyone heard of these??? any success?? ...love to you all :)

wow, barb, sorry to hear of all your difficulty. i've never heard of mother's milk tea. i'd like to know how it tastes, though. i wasn't too fond of the raspberry leaf tea lol my girl's getting her 2 month shots in a couple weeks too, i'm not looking forward to it.

I'll let you know if I find it how the tea tastes Shannon...as far as the shots go, you should think about giving your little girl some infant Tylenol BEFORE you go, that's what I did with my other 2 and there wasn't a problem , but I was distracted with her weight and all that I forgot! so my poor little Trinity had to feel "bad" before she could feel better :( She seems like she's finally feeling better now....finally :) she's been eating alot...so we'll see....Hey Shannon...how did you get your name to come up red??? cool!

Well I could not register Mary so I am now Mary's Jaime but without the . Barb, I am taking fenugreek and it has been working for me. However, Jaime does not want the b___st anymore, he fights with me to get latched on. It is obvious to me that he prefers the bottle as he latches to it with fury at every feeding. I am still not giving up on b___stfeeding until I run out of milk due to lack of stimulation. I have been trying my best to keep it up, but it seems that Jaime is destined to be a formula baby, which makes me kind of sad. But Anyway, he is a chub and I love him so much.

I have re-registered with xXx-Lesley-xXx, with a different email address. Haven't checked to see if I have got the email, will check in a min. Ive nicked my mams tower, it is the power supply that has gone! I said I'll get it on Wednesday, as long as I get the money back off john to get the kids' Aqua Draw in time for christmas. I took my tree down tonight and re-did it. It looked really god till I put the lights on. Now it looks naff again. I'm gettin rid of the angel lights after christmas. They are horrible.
