[Advice] Mama is sick and Bubba is hurting mah boobs!

I think PZ has nailed it - your little one has probably got a *touch* of what you have and feeling cranky and out of sorts herself. Thank god you are breastfeeding - this has saved her from the worst of it. It’s unlikely that your supply has suffered significantly. Illness doesn’t usually have a major effect. Rest, stay hydrated and keep feeding - you will have enough.

*mwah* thanks guys

I am totally feeling the love in here

I am so relieved to hear that I am basically on track.

I have been able to get a fair bit more 'down time' than normal thanks to DH who can work flexibly...but of course, two whole days in bed would of probably nailed it on the head. ah well.

I am really happy to hear that i can push through it too. Miss E did have the lurgy...she gave it moi lol (a gift from her Big Sister) so you are right, she is probably still cross about that.

what's this blessed thistle stuff?? having oversupply i have never had to know pmsl. i will see how we go over the next 24 hours (ABs on board...lurgy turned into infection) and i reckon we can improve without herb help (scared of overdoing it and getting mega-boobs lol)

Awwww no poor you! It sounds to me like bub has a sore throat and sucking probably hurts and helps at the same time. Can you try a bit of panadol about half hour before a feed and see if that helps (or homeopathic if you're that way inclined).

I hope everyone is better soon.
