Day 58

7 feeds a day

We’re down to seven feeds a day! To encourage more awake time and chances for breastfeeding, the doctor has changed robins feeding scheduled from 8 times a day (every three hours) to seven times a day. His new feeding times are 2am, 6am, 9am, 12 noon, 3pm, 6pm & 10pm. Nicki came in at her usual time (just past 12 for the 1 o’clock feed) to find the schedule had changed.

It was just a short visit today, with Nicki breastfeeding successfully at the 3pm feed, Robin only needed a small top up with the bottle. Nicki & Robin then did a quick FaceTime (video call) with Peter in Beijing. Peter though Robin looked “milk drunk” (which he was)

In the afternoon, Nicki went to baby bunting to pick up a car seat. Once she got home with it, she realised that they had given her the wrong model. How annoying.
