Drunk on milk

Our little boy is so lovely.

Today he had a really good day. Meeks is alternating feeds - one the breast and one on the bottle, with the bottle feed having as much expressed breat milk as possible and topping up with formula if required.

Today he was either feeding or asleep or having a little bit of play time or tummy time. He hardly cried all day! If the next two weeks are like that it will be awesome ... somehow I doubt it, but it's nice to dream.

I got to feed him his afternoon bottle feed today. It was just the loveliest thing. Our little boy, lying in my arms drinking from the bottle looking up at me. After he feeds he tired and full of milk, he can't hold his head up, it's like he's drunk on milk. It is so cute!

Meeks will come home tomorrow afternoon. She was going to be coming home in the morning but they wanted to check her feeding just a bit longer. Mitch had a really good feed tonight sucking for almost an hour. Hard work for a little boy, he's only been around 4 and half days and he's already being asked to do hour long work outs!

Please continue to pray for feeding and the changes as we go home and don't have the wonderful midwives and nurses and Lactation Consultants and nursery to check him into at night.
