needsupport · 03/09/2008 20:30

it was ok.shes chasing my homestart up and we talked alot.j was headbanging at the breast this morning which was why i called her.ive been trying to express alot today.she think my milk has slowed up.great

Habbibu · 03/09/2008 20:33

Hmm - talk to Tiktok, maybe, before you worry about milk "slowing up" - HV's aren't always as well informed as they might be about breastfeeding. Is he teething? Anyway - glad you're getting out for your walks - think your "3 things" idea is great.

differentID · 03/09/2008 20:33

You're under a lot of stress at the moment, see how the expressing helps. Plus, I bet he's enjoying lots of other food as well?

needsupport · 03/09/2008 20:34

who is tiktok?

Habbibu · 03/09/2008 20:35

bf counsellor on here, cvq - she's fab and knows lots and lots. Do you want me to see if she's around, and direct her here?

needsupport · 03/09/2008 20:36

yes please.if you think she could help me.id really appreciate that

Habbibu · 03/09/2008 20:39

Ok - have done. She has been around today, and I'll bump it a bit.

needsupport · 03/09/2008 20:44

thankyou habbibu.im willing to listen to any advice however small.im not enjoying it at the moment but in the same breath not ready to give up.weird eh?

Habbibu · 03/09/2008 20:46

No, not weird at all! I went through this will dd - think she was maybe 13 months? Didn't enjoy feeding, but didn't want to stop either - was a funny time, but it passed, and we carried on until I was ready to stop. You are doing so so well - you never cease to amaze me.

Habbibu · 03/09/2008 20:54

cvq - tiktok is around here - do you want to explain what the problem is with j's feeding - thread's all yours, and it probably makes sense to put it on its own thread.

needsupport · 03/09/2008 20:56

oh wow.thankyou

LackaDAISYcal · 03/09/2008 20:56

hey ns.....just popping in to say hello, and to link habbibu's call for tiktok

Am off to catch up with your thread now, but hope you are doing OK

mellyonion · 03/09/2008 21:11

hey ns....sorry i didn't make it back earlier...just popping on from work very briefly to say hi.... will catch you in the morning.

hope you get your bf problem sorted out....

hope too you manage a little kip tonight....try to be strict and turn off the pc nice and early...say 11pm, or set yourself a time to say you won't come back on here after j's last feed or something, and then try to settle.....maybe sleep doesn't come easily to you because your eyes and brain are over stimulated...(if only it were that simple..i know that there are other things that stop you from sleeping, but you know what i mean...) bf late at night used to make me sleepy...you can use all of these little tricks to try and help yourself.

i hope you can get home start asap..they are amazing..i used to work for them...its a really secure, comfortable, safe feeling in the in the mother and toddler sessions because the groups are not public access..only other parents with home start workers are there, and also, ask to be paired with a volunteer...they can give you moral support, a listening ear, a hand to hold, as well as practical things like taking you to appts and stuff...really. its an amazing thing...

well done on getting your 3 things done today....thats a great acheivment that you couldn't have done even a matter of days ago...step by step...you're getting there chick.

thinking of you. x
