Thanks ladies!
I am Bayside too, so Margaret could be a good option thanks buliej. Would you mind giving me an idea (pm if you'd prefer) about what the fees are like?

If you don't mind, cheshire, I'd love to grab the details of the lady out your way too. I would like to get the names of a few, have a chat, and go from there.

Heather - I have been on the phone to the ABA a couple of times now, who've suggested a few different helpful hints (which, again, work some times, and not others), and I am now also an ABA member, and going to fortnightly meetups. The last time I spoke on phone to ABA, they suggested I look into a lactaction consultant. I was about to, and then things started to improve a little. We've just seemed to go backwards again now.

I have also spoken to my MCHN about it, a friend who's a MCHN, and been to 2 different bf drop-in centres. I have had so much helpful advice, and am so grateful that these sorts of services are available to us!! Like I said, the advice I've been getting has helped some times and not others. I feel like I'm trying to work out how to put together a particularly difficult puzzle, trying to work out our problems. I dearly hope it'll sort itself out with time, but it's not feeling like it right now.

Thanks again for your suggestions. I will keep plodding along, and hopefully get there before long.

Anyone else been through something similar?
