The latest on the little man you're all most interested to hear about is that he is a greedy guts! Honestly! He is considered to have had a 'full feed' if he takes 58ml... this morning he took 92ml and then had to be given a dummy (or 'pacifier'), because he was still desperate to suck!

It was very funny actually, because he was clearly uncomfortably full - and the expression on his face was exactly the face we all feel like making after Christmas-dinner-over-indulgence, only we're too polite to let it show!

After writhing around for about 10 minutes, he did THE most enormous, explosive poo (they heard it from the other side of the nursery!) and then looked very pleased with himself as he continued to try and suck on anything that came within sucking distance! And then, about an hour later, he took a FURTHER 24ml! (this was a momentous event since he's never yet had the energy to stay awake for 2 consecutive feeds).

I have left him to try and get him to go to sleep! We'll see whether he's still keen to suck when Ed and I go back to the hospital for the 6.30pm feed!
He was looking super-cute this morning in an outfit my friend Heather got for him... doesn't he just make you melt inside?!
