    Preterm loss. Support and advise?

    Hi everyone! Little baby update! Fluffy has now been weaning since Tuesday. She’s loving her wet food! I’ve been mushing her wet food up and mixing it with kitten formula. It’s a hit! She’s now about 580-600g (hard to tell when all she wants to do is jump off the scale and run around). She’s a...

    Hi everyone! Weight update. Little nugget is back to gaining weight! I started feeding 2-3 times a day just to supplement but every time I offered milk the baby was starving and emptied the syringe in about 3 seconds. I started feeding roughly every 4hrs (not including overnight. I do last feed...

    Haha though you guys might enjoy a post from little lady 😁 She’s so so loved. Everyone is smitten with her. We have so much fun watching her waddle around. She’s the sweetest little thing ❤️

    Hi everyone! Since everyone wanted to see me :p Here I am, beautiful as ever. My mama still won’t sit still for long enough to have a picture with me. My grandma keeps trying but for now you just gotta obsess over me instead 😁❤ Look at my eyes! I can see my mama and my milk bottle too! Love the...

    Oh she’s definitely a little piggy! As soon as I set her up on the towel to feed she knows what’s coming and goes crazy! That syringe stands no chance 😁

    Funnily enough when I went upstairs 10 minutes ago both eyes were open! So since this morning she managed to get her other eye fully open too. We’ve got 2 big eyeballs. I’ll try get some pics later or tomorrow morning since the lighting isn’t great right now. She just had another 15ml and a big...

    Hi everyone! Happy update! Little baby is at about 320g as of this morning! That’s over 20g in 24hrs! (The weighing scales was between 316-326 so I think 320 is a good average. This baby is too wriggly. I always have to estimate). I know she needs to catch up now so I was expecting less of a...

    Hiya! Oh no my kids are 6 and under. The 6 year old can just about sit still and hold the baby for a few seconds. But the little one starts to squeal with excitement and stomp (I mean I get it, the kitten is adorable) :D

    Thank you! This is very helpful! The kitten lady has been my saviour through all of this (and ofcourse you guys here on the forum ❤️) Second feed went well too. Baby was super excited. I tried putting a test on the syringe and that seems to be the best way. Still having something to hold onto...

    Great thank you! That’s very reassuring on Poppy’s nipples. I’ll give coconut oil a go since we have some already. I’ve done one feed this morning. Baby was definitely hungry. I put Poppy away since baby was crying and meowing loads, she wouldn’t let me hold it without trying to stick her face...

    Okay. Will do first thing in the morning. Poppy just nursed for about 10 minutes. Baby is now asleep. I’ll start feeding first thing in the morning. I just had a proper look at Poppy’s nipples. Are you able to help? It doesn’t look like the horror pictures online but could it be mastitis or...

    Unfortunately I don’t have a miracle nipple. I have heard of it but haven’t been able to get hold of one. I do have multiple nipples sizes and different size syringes that I can try.

    Could it be that Poppy isn’t producing any milk? Since she’s only got one baby her nipples are being stimulated less. I had a feel of her nipples, they all seem very flat and baby pink other than one. That’s the one nipple I see baby feeding on most. It’s brighter in colour and the area around...

    Hi everyone! Concerning weight update. Since yesterday baby has lost about 18g. She’s now at 297g. Still very alert, loud, walking around, even managed to climb out of the box today. Poppy is very interested in her baby, attentively feeding, cleaning and sleeping with her darling. It’s like...

    She/he adorable! We’re thinking it might actually be a boy but I’ll wait for the vet to tell me 100%. I’ll go back to monitoring the weight every day. I’m not too concerned since Poppy is still regularly nursing and baby is growing and is very alert, appears healthy and well. I’ve tried to...
