Im posting here as im officially still in 3rd trimester had permission from ggg as well lol..

anyway.. midwife has been and bailey has put on 4OZ'S IN 4 DAYS... wahoo i must be doing something right after all....

he now weighs in at 5lb's 5oz's

she is coming back after 2pm to do a billy rubin check.. not all good news he may have to go back in for treatment.. but shall see later

 

[Snuggle]

Thats great about the weight gain. Hope everything goes ok and Bailey doesnt need to go for more treatment

 

[mrs_tommo22]

Great about the weight gain, they will get the jaundice cleared up quick so get woprry bout him SSS.He will be better before you know it.

Really glad to hear Bailey is doing so well SSS. Good luck with the Billy Rubin test.

 

[maybebaby]

That's a fantastic weight gain!!! Congratulations!!

 

[Tangerinedream]

thats great news hun

 

[Baileysmummy]

billy rubin levels are up from being disharged... but not enough to warrant treatment... levels are 189....

 

[mrs_tommo22]

And what on earth does that mean hun?

What will they do about it?

 

[Paula+bump]

Really pleased he has put weight on hun

I have no idea what the other thing is your talking about, but fingers crossed he don't have to go back in

 

[Baileysmummy]

basically they put a machine over his head in 4 places... if his levels are too high it will show.. they have to be over 240 to have photo therapy treatment... so hes under that 189, if they was 200 or more then he would have to have blood tests done to determine how bad it was... if they was over 240 then he would have to go back in for treatment, but over 200 they would have him in to keep an eye on him.. does that make sense lol

now i just have to make sure he gets enough fluids to help bring his levels down that bit more!

 

[mrs_tommo22]

Lots of boob for bailey then sweetie.

 

[Paula+bump]

oh yes... and i got my pump omg its harsh, makes me sore so i wont be using that again

 

[mrs_tommo22]

Put it back on ebay then hun, try a avent one.Lovely to use and expresses milk fast.

 

[Baileysmummy]

i cant sell it.. ive used it...

i'll just carry on as i was, when i hand express i get more off... only got 60mls using that pump and got sore nipples at the same time

midwife was quite reassuring as well when she came and shes gonna get some breast feeding support worker to come and chat with me.. i feel a failour now.. but as soon as she said 4 oz's that made my day, so im gonna carry on and if it means im gonna be feeding him every 1-3 hours then so be it..

Ill just take it out on mark lmao

 

[mrs_tommo22]

Mines been used, but i have sterilized it loads and cleaned it all and i have been assured by my MW that there fine to use.
