Sez - yep, it shouldn't be this hard but I agree with Caro ..... you must rattle!!!!!!! And yes, this breasfeeding business takes up sooooooo much time with expressing, feeding, trying to feed for longer to stimulate supply / empty the breast / encourage attachment not to mention trying to go for a walk, shop, wash, cook. I just can't do it all and thankfully DH has been a gem.

Caro - thank you for saying we are doing a good job. Somedays you really need to hear it when the going is getting a little tough. I am holding out in the belief that as Oscar gets bigger this SHOULD get easier (famous last words )

Soph - do you have to drink the aktavite?? I don't drink milk so I haven't been able to try it yet. You poor love with the water intake. Just get to bed to sleep and you have to go to the loo!! At least I KNOW I will be up every 2 hours feeding at the moment so I can drink as much as I like and not disturb my sleep any more than it already is.
