As many of you know, I had my second son 3 weeks ago at 33+5 weeks. I was expressing for 10 days till he came home and have been fully BF-ing since. Callum is not gaining weight, in fact he has now lost weight, and weighs less than when he left SCBU and still isn't back to his birth weight.

SCBU nurse came yesterday and re-inserted his feeding tube, because she wasn't happy with his weight. She knows that he is getting my milk as when she inserted the tube, milk came back up it. I just don't know what to do. I have Bf all my kids and I love the closeness it gives. I feels so sad

lol she wasn't complaining, she was just as excited as me when the scales flashed to 1.99kg, she was just explaining to me as to why he wasn't gaining before.

That's great news.

Out of interest - why does he have a tube instead of being cupfed for top-ups?

I think the SCBU nurse thought it would be easier for us to have the tube, rather than the cup, as its quite hectic here at times
