Yay Belfie!! Just flying by, I've had a snuffly baby and sometimes saline solution in their noses (like Fess) 10mins before helped them breathe.

And Si sometimes leaks milk, he doesn't have great attachment but it doesn't matter for him because I think I flow really fast into his mouth. I actually think if he attached 'properly' like his brother did, he'd be overwhelmed, I think his way of attaching holds back the flow a bit? Is it possible that you have generous supply? The arching back I read a few posts back could be that too - Si used to pull off just as I was letting down (annoying) if I insisted on him attaching the textbook way, I guess he'd get overwhelmed...so I started leaning right back at the start of the feed.

Anyway, besides all my ramblings, well done for keeping on, you are doing so well (and from your pics, he is gorgeous)!
