Thank you Sue. Hospital appt. went well on Thu. he's now above his birth weight ! I hope that next week (@10 wks) he'll actually be back onto the weight chart in his red book, which will be a big step in the right direction. We're back at the hospital tomorrow to talk to the gastro. team, and we'll get him weighed again (I'm very thankful the QMC car parking pass don't run out till the end of the month). I hope that soon he'll be strong enough to take him to the local clinic to be weighed, rather than the hospital. I might have to be cheeky while I'm at QMC though and ask for another tin of Nutramigin... one tin only lasts him 3 days !
