needs more calories

Mummy and Daddy met with the consultant. Maisie is not putting on weight as quickly as they would like and feel that Maisie should be increasing her calorific intake to stimulate more growth. Maisie's growth is vital for her brain development.

It has been decided that Maisie will continue with Mummy's milk (Mummy is doing really well a supplying Maisie) however the milk supplement the Maisie gets when she has drunk Mummy dry is going to be changed to a high energy milk. Hopefully Maisie will like this milk and start putting on even more weight.

Maisie is now 6lbs 14oz - 3120g

Maisie's hernia has not popped out again and is causing Maisie no discomfort. It has been decided to take no immediate action and the consultant would like Maisie to be bigger and stronger if she is to have an operation.

If is does start popping out and causing a discomfort to Maisie then an operation will be arranged sooner.

Tomorrow Maisie will see the eye doctor to find out how her eyes are and will hopefully have a hearing test too.

  1. I'm so pleased to hear Maisie doesn't need a hernia operation at the moment and hope she won't need one at all. I hope all goes well with the eye and hearing tests and Maisie has some peaceful time with cuddles and stories so she can grow even more and put on even more weight. I could easily donate a pound or two to her! Good luck with the supplement.
