Finally!! Ruby was weighed on Wednesday and has put on a whopping 300 grams in a week. Hallelujah!
She is now full time formula and seems to be thriving on it size wise. It gave her an upset tummy on Monday (or mummy overfed her) which resulted in a trip to the emergency department just to get checked over. Better to be safe then sorry.
I'm still determined she has an allergy to the milk protein in the formula so we have switched to a Hypo allergenic version of the Karicare one she is on which also contains probiotics. I have been advised by a Neo-natal nurse that Karicare is the closest formulated to breast milk and I'm hoping her little tummy settles on this one. If it doesn't then Goats milk it is!
It's so hard seeing her with an upset tummy cause my milk supply has officially gone. After much googling and talking to other mother's at the clinics, it's quite common these days. Financial stresses, lack of sleep, food and water intake are all the culprits of a diminishing milk supply.
We have had more visitors last week with Deni and Mark visiting on the way home from their North Qld adventures and as much as I hate to admit it, Deni scored the first "non-windy" smile. She was such a good girl and we really enjoyed their visit.
And again more gifts! Ruby has a wardrobe and now a jewellery collection to rival any fashionista. Jewellery seems to be the token gift of the Great Grandparents. She received a beautiful gold and diamond necklace with a dainty little bow charm and also a beautiful signet bracelet with her name engraved on it. Lucky Girl.
