    Great suggestions!
    We have tried the Avent, the Baby CLub (just one we got with the steriliser, and the Tommee Tippee which cost a fortune
    Melanie - havent thought about water - the other day she grabbed my sisters pump bottle and we were laughing and realised that the top was popped off and she drank the water! Do youthink to try boiled water first and then go to EBM? We fed her from a cup at birth - when she was starving and all I could express was 5 mL of colostrum so she had some formula at 3 days in hospital from a cup. Might be a last resort.
    Lucy - I like the idea of warmer EBM maybe I havent been warming it up as much as I could be. Also I try to stay calm and relaxed - I like the song thing too - might have to try that too.

    ETA - Barb - great suggestion of going out for 6 hours! I might just have to do that. Im a primary teacher and at this time of year lots of teachers take leave to do reports and just because they are sick and tired of the whole year :cyringlaugh: I know I took more time off later in the year from pure exhaustion! So my chances are pretty good right now- having said that we are lucky that we aren't in desperate need - it would just help hugely with xmas and my mental state! Great link - thank you!
