oh wow, i didn't realise i didn't have to wash and sterlise my breast pump!!!! THAT CHANGES EVERYTHING!!!! i can express a little after each feed to build up a supply of stored breast milk... i never understood how people did it if they had to wash and sterlise after each usage... it just seemed like it was way too much work... i might go to the chemist and see if they have those storage bag thingies...

i've rung my doctor and waiting for a call back, so will ask her what she thinks...

no he isn't screaming, he is actually sleeping which is semi unusual, he is usually awake for quite a while during the day.... is it actually possible he would get a good feed from only a few minutes on the breast though? if i squeeze my nipple, the milk shoots out and squirts - does that indicate a forecful letdown? he hasn't had any trouble with it in the past.

hmmmm i feel guilty as i am loving that he is sleeping and not wanting to feed all the time, but at the same time i'm feeling guilty in case there is something wrong/he isn't getting what he needs.
