thanks ladies

I am on motillium which I think has definitely helped. Janie and Chrissy, thanks for sharing what you do - it's good to know that it can be done. I agree that knowing when to top up is hard!

I called on the ABA a lot in the very early days, and they were just magnificent, so I may well recontact to get some advice on the situation as it stands now. Although they haven't 'evangelised' in the past, I am always nervous about being judged/criticised for not exclusively BFing, however I feel very proud of the effort I have made (with a huge amount of support from DH) and comfortable with the reality that we will be combo feeders for the immediate future at least.

Zac is a generally happy, very healthy little boy, and I am pleased that he is getting at least some BM!
