Finally someone that gets it and has experienced what we saw in the hospital. It felt like talking to a religious nut for me. No amount of discussion sways them. Especially when the baby is poorly and loosing weight the important task is to get nutrition into them.
On top of everything else it was heart braking seeing my wife cry because she felt like she couldn't provide what these people were telling her was her only role right now. Being told you need to sleep, eat better drink more, get some exercise was really not helpful when your watching your child nearly die. It was like they blanked everything except the breast is best message.
Hand a leaflet to the parents ask if you have any questions then leave us alone. It was so much better when they finally left us and a dietitian took over.
In other news, George has started having some water from a cup, he seems to like lemon.
Not eating very well at the minute though, few of his back teeth are coming through. Though he liked the butternut squash, carrot and Cumin soup i made.
He had done rump steak and green beans last night but wouldn't have any potato.
Resort to yoghurt with rice powder and sugar mixed in. All this sugar free stuff is not making it easy for us we have to add it to everything.
