New thread linked further up utopian! You could get some breast shells to catch your leaking milk? Expressing once a day won't make much difference but anymore and it will so you might want to just do it in the morning or something 
Secret is good for me! (Partly cause I used to mouth off about people swamping the news feed with baby photos. Oops. 
)
Well after my last post about 15 min feeds Oz has decided to make a point by going for 1.5hour mega-feeds this morning and again this afternoon! Assume this is growth spurt behaviour.. Currently passed out on my lap but I'm sure all this will change when i get him in his hammock as per usual.
My boobs are leaking like taps - should i make the most of this an express & freeze for dh to use once a few more weeks have passed OR will this just ramp up production even more? Life or death decisions to be made i know.
funny how many of us work in social sector 'on the coal face'
<longs for days of few poos> my son is a pooing machine at one month today managed to squirt it over 2 meters away today. (is that normal?!)
dh finally had success with a bottle of ebm and gave me 4 hours sleep first time in 4 weeks but didn't know how much - I'll tell him try the full 120ml next time. dh refuses to buy anything ever 'unnecessary' stuff but presented me with ds while announcing we need a ewan ..... do we really??!! I pointed out we have an ipod.apparently the oven fan helped this evening 
I always thought honeys name would be honey 
I might be interested in a FB group too - but definitely secretly! EggsMichelle, I also have a career working with mentally ill offenders! Not been in that line of work for a couple of years but that's quite a coincidence.
Despite all my moaning about inlaws this morning, ended up having a lovely day. We had an amazing stress-free lunch and my MIL initiated saying 'I have booked dinner tomorrow night but would understand if you're a little tired and don't want to join us.' 
Baby behaved herself beautifully.
I may be very foolish but I think I saw a smile this morning! She's one month old yesterday so I understand it's early. But she'd had a lot of sleep (after a horrid restless day yesterday), and a good feed, and was wide awake and interactive. I sat down with her to read a book to her (for the first time) and while I was looking at her and smiling, I am sure she smiled back. It looked really different from the sleep smiles she does, her whole face lit up. What do people reckon? PFB syndrome?
To top off a lovely day, she took a bottle of expressed milk from my husband, we put her in her basket while she was still awake but sleepy, and she has muttered for a while but put herself to sleep. Amazing.
Now I have jinxed myself and she'll be awake every 45 minutes until morning. Oh well...
Welcome mini and emily - always nice to have new/old people back!
Pidj, did your boy always poo infrequently or did it change at some point? I could do with little C being less pooey!
willyou I had the same problem with Honey
Just got confused by facebook as Honey has a real name! Haha, I may be a bit thick today
Ds's been awake for four hours straight
Well I changed his (wet) nappy and he's feeding again. Still wide awake though
Spotty my ds is like that for the majority of feeds 
i find it very stressful and am worried how i will cope when out and about and feeding
Spotty, I've had that for the last 20 minutes, turned out he'd done a poo in my defence, he'd had one 20 minutes before that and only usually goes every day or two! <sigh> at least he'll be easily potty trained
