My gerogeous strong boy. Doctors told me he's upping his feeds today. By Friday he should be on feed by demand. I've been waiting for this bit of news which seems like forever. Literally breaks my heart not being able to feed him when he's hungry. I can't wait for this challenging journey to be over. Can't wait for the normality of being home and doing a silly thing like putting him in his bouncer. 💙

Thankyou lovely, It really is @zaralee71 he was on such a small amount to begin with that as soon as he got a taste he wanted more, it killed me not being able to feed him. But he's on enough now it makes him pass out, and it's all staying down. Next step is getting those horrible lines put of him, hate the wires. Xx

I know it's not nice, especially the wires but he is doing so well and keeping the milk down is great! Do they have sugar water in the hospital to use? In Birmingham they have little pots of the stuff to dunk a dummy into to help them keep calm when they are hungry, the babies love the stuff xxx

@zaralee71, Nope haven't even heard of that. I might mention it though. There all lovely aswell which is a comfort. We're in accommodation just opposite the hosptial with other couples going through the same kind of things. Thought about you a couple times and what you went through with yours. Xx

It's worth an ask, I know not many hospitals use it. It was mainly to keep the babies on the ward calm because if they stressed they would put pressure on their heart. We were in the Ronald McDonald house up Birmingham, right behind the hospital. It was great! It's lovely that you thought about me and William😊 you have all been in my thoughts aswel. It's great seeing updates about Toby and how well he is getting on. I hope you are getting enough support? I know it's such a hard thing to go through xxx

@zaralee71, Aww and I want lots of updates on your bubba too when you have him/her. As for support, there's loads here if needed which is fab. But my partner has also been amazing, He's all I need at the moment, he's surprised me so much going through a difficult situation. I thought it might add stress to our relationship but it's done the exact opposite. We've bonded so much through it. Xx

You will have plenty of updates😊 and that's great! It drew me and Lee closer when we went through it aswel. It's surprising because alot of people push each other away. Going through something like this definitely makes you a stronger person aswel. xxx
