Diva, well remembered. He was born at 31+4 and was a healthy 4lb2oz for such an early baby. Dolly, well done with the donating. I'd think two 6oz bottles should be fine for your DD in six hours. That's about what Jordi has and he's at least two pounds bigger than her.
Booboo, he'll be weaned according to actual age, because the gut starts to develop from when they are born if they are fed through the stomach, which he was. So it will actually be in a few weeks time, eek. I'm a bit nervous about it tbh.
Thanks for all the support guys, I'm feeling much better now, although I'm still very tired but I haven't done much today so have relaxed a bit and intend to go to bed early. I think the emotion was all tied in with the fact I've stopped doing my little bit of bfing and feel sad at the thought that I'll never "feed" him myself again. My nipple was in such a bad state though that it was probably for the best just to let it heal and hope it all turns out more successfully the next time, if there is one.
Foxy, I am thinking of trying again soon, which is another reason I decided to stop bfing as I'm just not sure how long it will take for my periods and ovulating to return given my mixed fertility history. But it's a double edged sword of course, because if they do come back soon and I never get pg again then I'm at more risk of getting endo complications, as you probably know if your sis has it. Oh well, only time will tell. I've got Jordi, whatever else happens, and that's more than I thought I might have had at one time.
On a more cheery note, I'm off to baby massage again tomorrow, which I really enjoyed last time. And looking out the window our garden is looking absolutely beautiful - I can see dozens of pink roses at the end of the garden and the hydrangea is starting to come out. I'm going to go outside in a bit and smell the honeysuckle which is always most aromatic at this time of the evening. Ooh get me coming over all mother nature.
