Foxy I didn't know that about the coffee I had been so looking forward to getting right back on it after I had cut back while I was pg. Used to drink at the very least six or seven cups a day, then cut down to two when I was pg...
Oh well... I've done it before, I can do it again!
Diva I think everyone gets paranoid feelings from time to time, but when you're not pg / early postnatal / sleep deprived it's easy to tell yourself to be rational. However atm those thoughts are much easier to entertain.
I have had to fight really hard against believing that mil and dh are ganging up on me about me bfing! I do know that they aren't, but somehow I've got it into my head that they are, and then every little thing they say just gives this negative "fantasy" more weight. If that makes sense?
Blonde sorry you're not doing so well, breast thrush sounds nasty I hope it clears up asap.
Those of you getting rid of / clearing out the newborn clothes... I am dreading having to do that, so am taking photos of Bertie in all his different newborn outfits, just so I have a record to look back on. I will deffo be storing them somewhere... despite the difficult labour I do want at least one more!!
Piffle sorry you're feeling so crap. But I think you're entitled to have a bad night once in a while. You might not have had this with your others... but this time round you've two other children to deal with as well, so you're bound to be more tired and fed up! Hope you feel better soon, at least it sounds like your dp is being supportive which is good.
Kitty you must be absolutely knackered. I think you've done amazingly well just to get far enough out of the house to see a woman eating a sandwich!!
Kiwi sorry you're feeling crap as well... maybe we are all "cycling together" on this thread or something?
One more bf question I'm afraid... Bertie falls asleep at the boob within minutes of latching on and then just vaguely suckles... should I keep waiting him? And if so how will I know when he's full?
