Brief update:
As of Sat morning Miriam had lost rather too much weight (285g) and was looking a bit jaundiced. 24 hours of phototherapy has dealt with the latter, and she had gained back 35g by Sun morning. This morning (monday) he weight is unchanged. Feeding is still a bit of an issue but we got some advice from the hospital's lactation specialist (a lovely lady who's daughter I've taught) so they can come home today!

Thanks for the update, Sean. Glad to hear that Miriam and Bron will be going home; I'm sure it will do you all a world of good to be together in your own place. I'll send off some extra prayers that mother and baby will quickly find their breastfeeding rhythms.

Sean,
the Nutter also had a slow start with feeding- and now she's a cherubically chubby pro. Joining our prayers with others that your two girls 'find their rhythm' soon, and without too much anxiety.

Well what a LIFE CHANGING EXPERIENCE Have little to say exausted as I have had very little sleep and feeling well this is worth it but a lot of work. Feeding is taking over 12 hous a day currently but she is finally getting more than just a few drops. Feed takes one and a half hours every three!!!!
Have loved reading all the thread since I was last here, thankyou for all your prayers and support. THANKYOU.
Great to be home sick of the stress of hospital. Was a little stressed today as her level of jaundice went up that I would have to go back but they had a portable machine which she can use in her cot, or even as we cuddle her!!!! She looks like she is at a disco! Red and blue light.
Sean has been a wonderful father and has spent hours settling her, so sweet.
Will go now probably will be a while before I post again!!!!! So tired.

Oh, I well remember that feeding exhaustion!
cb wanted feeding every 2 hours and each feed took an hour.
Looking back though, that was the most important thing that I was doing at the time and nothing else mattered.
Hard to believe she's now getting quite a bump of her own (20 weeks pregnant!)

It works. Nice photos.
We were a bit surprised by the soap suds in the bath though. Probably one of those differences depending on where you are. But, we were told to wash wee David with just water. Something about a waxy barrier that babies are born with that reduces the chances of bacterial or fungal infection of the skin, and that soap washes this off quickly. Something like that anyway, so no soapy baths in the hospital.

Well the feeding continues and I have been known to fall asleep while feeding. M is putting back a bit of her weight which means we are doing the right thing. Trying to come to terms with the life changing event motherhood is.
About the bath I too was surprised they put soap in the water as the idea of water only was around last time I looked at mid as a student in 1995 to avoid the removing of the waxy layer...vernex(sp), maybe they have decided it is not needed and we are ahead...I do know they didn't bath her till she was two days old, was meant to be one but the feeding was more problematic than I could have believed.
M is out of the lights now so settling better, but also more alert, was stressful having that machine at home but less so than having it in hospital which was the alternative.
So tried need to rest.
