    Oh jun you are doing SUCH an amazing job!! I don't know how I would handle all you have been and are going through. I've had breast refusal to some extent with all of mine at some point and with the last 2 gave up feeding from the left side eventually coz it was just to stressful so I understand the lopsided thing! I know you didn't ask for advise but I honestly found for my self confidence (and so its less likely to go super saggy from wrong size bra for months!) That getting a bra filler pad thing for my 'crappy side' really helped once is completely stopped that side, just a thought. Hang in there

    Thanks again wonderful women! I feel a bit better today, it goes up and down.. Today he has been quite good feeding and I only expressed twice this morning, I am skipping the lunch time one today simply because I really don't want to express right now.. Bub is asleep after a rough night, so I want to relax. It's just so up and down.. He's losing weight because i am trying to wean him off the tube feeds, but I'm trying not to panic because I know there has to be some transition..

    Anyway, right now I am having a double choc muffin and a chai latte

    You're amazing BAL!!!!! You have had such a tough road from the very start that most people will never understand. It has been too hard at times but you have always pushed through and found MORE strength.
    You'd make an amazing breast feeding counsellor one day that's for sure

    Hang in there Hun, and keep on going to ABA meetings (the girls at central are so lovely!) and you are welcome at our south GC meetings too!! Let me know if you want details of our next catchup. We meet Monday's once a month at Kirra.
