Oh Nae, please vent away!

Sometimes I think we need those TAC style ads to show us the awful, grisly and friggen hard times of motherhood. I remember walking, sobbing, to the bathroom in the middle of the night and weeping on the floor. I remember screaming in the dark for some space, some help, for something...

I have told DH to "grow some boobs" more than once when he offers help.

The hardest thing is...only you and her can work this out. its a relationship, and it takes time. Often long, hard, painful, exhausting time!

I second the chiro advice (good one BG). Also please ring the ABA....sometimes just talking to someone about the bung boobie she is refusing seems to help. It can get you through just that next feed...

You also need HELP. Where are your family. You should be at home in your pj's with people coming every day.

Babies are so different. Try not to compare to anyone else. This is YOUR baby and she is doing exactly what she needs to do....we just have to help you through this.

You CAN do it. You're amazing. It is just going to take some time to get used to.

Massive I wish I could help you more!

ETA: You need a sling...PM me your address and I will send you one. They're a lifesaver...seriously!

Do you have a fitball? I remember sitting with DD over my shoulder and bouncing with her until she would settle.
