hello

Wow, thanks guys, I've just got to go and cook dp's dinner, but I'll be back to look at your finds in a sec!

natty was she ever checked for tongue tie? this can cause fussy frequent feeds. Poor latch is always the first thing to be checked though.

lol bumper that is really sweet

i breastfed like that for 6 weeks. around the clock every half hour OCCASIONASLLY shefeed for20mins and then went an hour.
by the end i was so tired, and sore, i hadnt slept more than 20mins at a time for 6 weeks, and i gave in. i shouldnt have but i had thomas to look after who was only 14 m onths and it wasnt fair on him, i was feedin ellen all the time..

pmsl@inhales!!

natty, you did what you had to do in diffcult circumstances. I remember how hard it was for you back then, and you did give her those first precious weeks which is good . I was lucky in that DS was at school all day, so I could feed endlessly. I'm sure I won't find it quite so convenient this time with a 17 mo old DD to deal with as well.

she seemed to be latched ok, i mean first two weeks i got cracked and bleeding nipples but that went off, but she just seemed to be starving still after each feed, would feed from both breasts, and get to the point where she would suck 3-4 times and then scream with annoyance, so i think it may have been a supply problem as i couldnt express anymore than 3 ounces at a time and that would take about an hour to do

everyone gone and left me eh?

DD inhales strawberries as well. I have to cut them up or they go in whole and juice goes everywhere and she nearly chokes.

When I was watering the crops earlier she and DS were grazing on the tiny alpine strawberries that we have in the garden. she didn't seem too bothered by the unripe ones though

something else for holly

difficult to say what the problem was natty. I know things were pretty stressful for you with moving house and not being happy in the new one, and stress can have an effect on your supply as far as I know. Was she feeding that frequently at night as well? night feeds are crucial for getting your supply up and running in the early days.

now daisy i like that dress!

pink flowers. I really like this one, but tis dear!

I'm now thinking my tastes might be a little.... old for you Holly!!

yeh she was. hence the no sleep!
i really hope things are easier this time, we wont be moving till the new bbaby is over 6 months im not doing that again

no the normal yellow seedy mustard type.
no wind orcolic

Soz, went to sort out dp's dinner there.

Love those 2 Per Una dresses daisy, really lovely. I like a floral number, not too old at all! I think the M&S sale should be coming up next week, so I think I might wait til then. I think I like the second, strapless one best, it's really funky! I like M&S becasue I know what size I am in there and they are cut a bit more generously for the big of boob and bum!

Thanks for your dress help everyone, it's given me a lot to think about!!

My ds is a strawberry fiend too! We went to PYO on Saturday and ds just sat in the middle of the field between two rows of plants and gorged himself! He was scrabbling around in the bushes finding himself nice juicy ones! He was covered when we'd finished!

Wow MHC, that is some dress! I don't think I'd have the balls to wear that!! Lovely though!
