Jamie is doing well, he put on 5oz last week which has allayed my fears that he wasn't getting enough milk from me. Just hope he's gained more when he's weighed on Monday. Breastfeeding is slowly getting a bit easier (although I have to say it's harder than I expected). My nipples are still a bit sore - they don't seem to get much chance to heal between feeds. I'm still using nipple shields which help a bit and it only really hurts for the first 15 secs or so when he latches on.

We're really lucky as Jamie usually goes from about 10.30pm, when he has a bottle of expressed milk, til around 4-5am. He often doesn't settle too well after that though and tends to be awake til about 7am. His feeding is very erratic in the day still - he seems to cluster feed, so he'll feed on and off for a couple of hours with not much break. There doesn't seem to be a pattern to when he does this either, which makes trips out more difficult. He's not too keen on napping either and I've been swaddling him in the day as well as at night to try and get him to sleep for longer. He seems to fight sleep and a lot of the time I resort to rocking him to sleep.

I'm trying to get out for a walk somewhere with him in the afternoon, to avoid the groundhog day feeling. Today though, we are off to my mum's for lunch. My gran is staying with her at the moment so Jamie will get to spend some time with his great-grandma!
