Since he's been home...

Well the lovely Noah has been a good boy really. He had his first paediatrician appointment after 10 days home and unfortunately he had only gained 40 grams. The doc wanted kim to stop breastfeeding and put him on formula, mainly so we could measure exactly what he was drinking and make sure he was getting enough. Kim reminded him that we had a deep freezer full of expressed breast milk at home, so he said that was ideal. Bottle feed him the breast milk. After 3 days of doing this he gained 100 grams!

The doctor also found that Noah had an Inguinal Hernia and sent us straight away to a paediatric surgeon. That was on a Friday and on the Monday he was in theatre for 30 mins having an operation. But he came through that without any hiccups and two little cuts on his lower belly about a cm each. He only had a hernia on one side but the surgeon decided to do both sides just in case with all his straining to poo he popped the other side as well.

He really picked up after the operation with his feeding as well so he is now 2430 grams!! Finally broke the 5 pound barrier!!! He is looking so adorable and is just a delight to have around. He is so cute, everyone says so!! At the moment he is having a little trouble bringing up his wind, so we rang the doctor and he is on colic drops every second feed at the moment, started those last night.
