Ok, after 3 days of chaos, we have water! Should've been yesterday, but then didn't happen due to parts issue and plumber being inept, would've completely lost it at that point had I not been holding the baby. Just a kitchen floor to replace now, so DH is on that tonight.
May have got through that purely because the I treated the return of Bake Off as an excuse to eat all the cake.
blue Thank you for the HV suggestion, unfortunately I don't have a lot of confidence in ours for various reasons, plus when you ring them you get an answerphone message and apparently they don't have an admin person, so messages often go unanswered (she actually told me that to my face!). Then missed the drop in clinic yesterday thanks to the douche bag plumber, grr. A friend of mine went to a Boob Guru last year, so am going to ring her this weekend if it doesn't improve. Sorry to hear you're still in pain, but don't forget that your poorly nips need to heal, and as others have said, it may take a big of time for Ru to re-learn. Can you get the Boob Guru round again? Sounds like a good use of £70 to stop you feeling so miserable. I second the bulldog clip response to your DH, FFS, he needs to think a bit more carefully before speaking?!
Re drying, I have coloured muslins for bottom drying and white muslins for everything else. I didn't dry at first but H kept getting a bit sore.
speak, I like that article and agree with others, why oh why can there not be some consistency to what we are told?
beaut - you've dtd four times, and with all this other stuff going on. Good grief, I'm not telling my DH that or I'll be divorced. You hero! Good work MB, you clearly love your milk 
sock how truly horrible for your friend, some people really do get put through it, that is so unfair.
We had a three hour scream-a-thon last night and on Monday, which I also think is tummy ache/reflux, but can't work out why it's only some evenings.
Indians, I still have to use nappy changes to keep the boy awake, so it gets changed every time regardless of contents!
julfin, enjoy your hols, I love that photo of Jasper on the ferry.
cookies re the wind in bf babies, am beginning to wonder if ours is due to speed of milk at beginning of feed? (This might also be the reason for H slipping off). I noticed that he was having to gulp milk down at first and when I took him off, it was spraying out like a jet wash in all angles - if I was having to awake at that rate (cue childish giggle about that sentence), I'd definitely end up with wind. Worth checking?
And yep, I've also had some wine. Cheers 
As Anna has said, if you're having sick issues, do check out reflux, both my nephews had it with similar symptoms and you don't have to just grin and bear it.
Can't believe how many tongue ties have been missed, how crap is that?!!
All those with frustrations over your DH/DP, I feel for you and hope you are managing to prioritise what you and the baby need. Screw the housework if they won't help and do the right thing by yourselves. Sending lots of 
and 
Interesting the different approaches to the 6/8week checks and jabs. I'm really annoyed that I had a letter with one appointment only - for my 6 week check and his check & jabs all at the same time (8w 3d), assuming there won't be much time in that to discuss much! Also, was told by HV that they would give me baby paracetamol at the apt, it isn't mentioned at all on the letter, should I take some just in case?
6w 6d today and weighing approx the same as the baby that my friend has just given birth to - ouch!
