10g weight loss today. Today is the last day they will try her on full fortifier before trying something else as they are now getting worried about her lack of weight gain. Apparently there is some fat boy formula that they can try, but that might mean that she won't take breast milk if she gets too used to the formula. So glad that I am expressing every 4 hours!
Breathing is much the same as before. They reckon she could do with a little less support, but don't want to put it down as she needs to conserve all her energy for growing rather than breathing. She is back on a minimal handling regime, which means no cuddles and virtually no touching except when she needs a nappy to change to give her the best chance possible of putting on weight.
Mum is pretty much shattered after 3 weeks of this, so there might not be a daily update from now on, but rest assured if anything significant happens I will post it! MBA exams in just over 3 weeks time and starting to panic, so please give me some time to study!
