Hi Girls, its actually me that MM has posted this for, she had two spares hands to type and I only had one lol.

Thanks for your replies.

KMN - I have tried to hand express but I just cannot do it, its something I have always found difficult even just a little bit.

I had a look for the fussy post and even did a search but I couldnt find it, does someone else know where it is and can they link me to it.

I am really hoping its a phase, as I know I can do it and I want to do it for at least 12 months. He is a very content baby otherwise so I am not concerned about his health, its just upsetting when its such a battle to feed. It is mainly only happening in the middle of the night, I think its because of my problems getting to sleep I finally get to sleep then he wakes and its frustrating as I have to try all over again to get back to sleep. This week has been better sleep wise and last night he had a feed at midnight then I went to bed and he slept right through until 6am. I really needed that.
