11days old

So our little man is 11days old now and time is absolutely flying past.  We have our ups and downs but I wouldn't trade it for the world!

We were doing OK with breast feeding but on Tuesday I think it was he decided he would throw it all up and continued to do this for 2 days.  Eventually on the Wednesday night at 9:30pm, I was trying to express as he wasn't attaching at this point and nothing came out :( I was in tears! I was exhausted as he hadn't been sleeping at all due to constantly throwing up. So DH ran out and got some formula.  Whilst he was out I managed to get Tyler on the boob and he fed and fell asleep. Unfortunately he was still sick the next day so that night I gave in and got him some formula.  He had 20mls and was out like a light for 3hours!

I am not sure if it was something I ate or if he simply isn't getting enough food.  I am expressing 100mls of breast milk every 2 hours and he guzzles it down.  Some times I will have to put him on the boob for more and to settle him other times I have to give him a little bit of fomula for him to become satisfied.  I was a little upset at the formula to start with but he body is accepting it and its helping settle him, so ultimately as long as the little man is happy than I am too.

He is a little spewy still, but I think that's normal.  He settles in his bed well which is good.  I am tired but really getting a good amount of sleep.  Once he has had enough food he sleeps for around 3 hours.  Some times it might take him over and hour to feed and settle but again I think I am pretty lucky.

well the little man is waking so I better go get him
