I exclusively pumped for nearly 2 months while DD was in hospital. It's not fun, it's not easy. It's hard work, and now that I'm BF'ing DS I can honestly say that BF'ing is so much easier and more enjoyable. (although it wasn't so fun the first few days).
And being 6 days PP, there is NO way I'm thinking about going to the gym or losing weight. I can still barely walk around the house without getting too puffed. I just have no energy yet.

I think a young mum's group would be good for her, as well as some antenatal and breastfeeding classes.
The thought of a newborn CIO in their own room makes me cry.

There's some really good advice here. I hope everything works out.
