Remember how down I was about weight gain?

I'm over the moon now!

Fifi gained well for the first three weeks, born at 4lb 8oz she was now 5lb. A few days later she was 4lb 15oz and stayed that weight but 10 days later she weighed 4lb 14oz. The NN-MW was worried and told me to express some to top her up with. I did about every other day and a week later she was 5lb 1oz, a week later 5lb 9oz and now another week on she is 6lb 1oz!

I can't believe the difference in her

I think though that the turning point was when she hit term.

Tinker was it you who was having your baby weighed twice a week on different scales at one point?
If so, then I'm so pleased for you that your BFing has succeeded in spite of what seemed like some shoddy advice - congratulations

No, I remember that one it was a similar situation to me, but I (generally) have a good team. You can see from her gain I've got more to do with it than a piddl bit of formula!
