fenugreek capsules = holland and barratt, don't know if they sell tea as well?
Daisy - ignore the comments you are doing FAB x
Sputnik, don't worry it might NOT happen to you.

I stopped doing a dream feed as I found it made no difference.

derlor · 24/09/2007 21:32

well i'll get some fenugreek capsules tomorrow and start taking them and let you know if DD goes back to sleeping through again

LOL Derlor....the fan on my laptop always kicks off my let down reflex...as does the sound of the bin lorry. It must be to do with the frequancy of the noise or something?

But at least with you it's a good excuse not to hoover, LOL.

Tonight I'm taking a flask of tea up to bed incase of wee small hour waking, then I won't have to come downstairs to make any and risk DD waking up too much!

Can you still buy teasmaids

derlor · 24/09/2007 21:33

have you tried Urtica Urens Annobal?
where do i get that then?

annobal · 24/09/2007 21:35

I also drink a tea made of Fennel, Aniseed, Dill, Celery, Fenugreek and Milk Thistle (and another one I can't remember) - I get it from Neal's Yard. I'm a bit addicted to it.

Great news about your cousin, Daisy.

daisyandbabybootoo · 24/09/2007 21:35

Norks better thank you sputnik ...the mastitis has finally cleared but it still hurts a bit when feeding and they feel a bit numb in the area of the blockage.

I would not wish mastitis on my worst enemy!

derlor · 24/09/2007 21:37

ROFL Dasiy - you are actually awake enough during the night to drink tea???? i don't even open my eyes properly!
Derlor is VERY young so wonders what kind of contraprion a teasmaid is??!!!!!

annobal · 24/09/2007 21:38

I think that Urtica Urens works really well - you need to take it when your supply is lowest and just before - I was taking it at 2pm, 6pm and 2 am (when he woke up). I get it from Neal's Yard. If you don't have a Neal's Yard nearby, I can send you some as I have loads. (it's also great for burns)

derlor · 24/09/2007 21:39

Neal's Yard?? - don't think we have those up here north of border!!

annobal · 24/09/2007 21:41

LOL at your let-downs. I don't even have to wear breast pads. Ds is thriving though so must have enough to satisfy...

ROFL at teasmaid - I think I read in telegraph mag that it is being brought back

annobal · 24/09/2007 21:42

email me your address Derlor and I'll send you some (my mn name @mac.com).

derlor · 24/09/2007 21:43

oh just ran a search there is a Neal's Yard in Glasgow......oh i feel a trip to the big smoke on the horizon!!!

daisyandbabybootoo · 24/09/2007 21:44

I'm off into town tomorrow to visit Neal's Yard. What do I ask for Annobal?

unfortunately it's in the posh bit of Leeds with all the lovely shops like Harvey Nick's, whistles, hobbs etc etc.... a girl can dream!

derlor · 24/09/2007 21:44

sorry annobal i keep x-posting with you, i'll get myself some this week thanks x

annobal · 24/09/2007 21:49

Tea - ask for 25g of each of Carraway, dill, fennel, fenugreek, celery, aniseed and milk thistle and drink it 3 times a day.

Urtica Urens - ask for the homeopathic remedy in 30c potency.

Enjoy your window shopping

annobal · 24/09/2007 21:52

No problem Derlor .

derlor · 24/09/2007 21:52

oh less than 10 mins to go.......yippee!!

annobal · 24/09/2007 21:54

Too late for me unfortunately...

However, fortunately the whole series is on repeat so may have to indulge

derlor · 24/09/2007 21:57

maybe this will help you sleep annobal

annobal · 24/09/2007 21:57

Is it getting hot in here

annobal · 24/09/2007 21:58

Right, am now going to bed with a smile on my face...

Night all

derlor · 24/09/2007 21:59

daisyandbabybootoo · 24/09/2007 21:59

following on from another thread....

there was a Mner called daisy
she was really incredibly lazy
spent all day on her ass
thinking housework, I'll pass
though her windows were getting quite hazy

annobal · 24/09/2007 22:00

LOL, enjoy!
