My mood while writing this blog: Happy.

Yay its nearly christmas! :) wont be long, only down side to that is lack of christmas presents i have brought!

Well went to the health visitor. Olivia weight has shot back up. she now weighs 9lb 5oz. I didnt see my actual health visitor today though, but when i explained everything to the other health visitor. She asked me why i was giving formula...i told her i was told to. and she told me to stop as she didnt see the need to. =| So i was again told to go back next week and get her weighed again. I told her how Olivia was being sick. She said it was because she didnt need the formula i gave her. But like i told her half the time she doesnt take all or even any of the forumla and she is still just as sick. but still she told me not to give it.

However, i dont think i will be taking her advice. i dont want to go back next week for her to have dropped again, i'm not going to offer her it every fed, but mainly on her last feed to, especially if she isnt filling up properly through the day. so im going to cut down how often i offer it. see if she does just as well. I feel so messed about by health visitors, as a midwife told me, u ask on midwife a question and then 10others, u get 10 different answers, Health visitors all have different views. I will see how things go with her and the feeds i do give it to her.

i guess we just gotta work out what is best for us! and shes a pretty good baby so it wont take too long hopefully!!! :)
