Hi everyone,

Janie, OMG, I just can't imagine, you are amazing for handling this so well, I would be an absolute mess, I hope she is better soon and you have been able to control her temp etc and praying this is the one and only time it happens.

Murph, you are a legend, what an increadible thing to do, I can't wait to see the pics and hear your funny stories. I am hanging out to go on holidays with our girls, though will likely pick something a little less challenging lol.

BW, I remember clearly yelling at my little brother running naked down the hallway 'nudie in the hallway', what a cute sight to see. Thanks for the info re AF, I am already keeping a close eye on what is going on, and hope I will be one of the lucky ones to get AF back while breastfeeding, crazy as it sounds, still dreaming of a miracle conception next time around.

Marcellus, were you BF? Is that why AF stayed away, just interested. Hope you are well.

BG, Interesting to hear you got AF while BF. Hope E is feeling better.

Green, have you sorted out DSS yet? Good luck for Thur, I hope you can find out what is wrong, I agree, 8 weeks is too long.

Saph, I hope you are getting some sleep.Re AF seems sort of like about half of us have AF back even while BF. If you are not ready yet, I hope she stays away for you.

Kelly, can't wait to see your pics of Tara, and how cute re her wanting to stand.

Smithy, I had a look at your pics of Chayse, what a cutie, and your daughter looks so happy. How lovely that he will have your gorgeous Charlie to play with. Hope you are keeping well.

AFU, still struggling with BF, and still tyring to kick this thrush, which I have had for about 3 weeks now. The girls don't seem to have it in their mouths anymore, but I can feel it in my right nipple and breast after a feed. Also struggling to give the girls enough milk at crazy hour, or should I say crazy 3 hours, and will try a new strategy today, I am going to feed them a bottle at the 4.45pm feed so I know they a super full, and then give them a dummy . I have been trying to avoid it, however a friend has just read the baby wisperer, and she is recommending giving a dummy in case the girls just want to suck, this way they won't be on the breast for an hour at a time, hopefully, and stop using me as a pacifier. Will see how this works.

Good news is they slept pretty much all night. Last feed at 9.30pm and I had to wake them at 5.00am because my breasts were about to explode, I slept with hand towel in my single top to soak up the milk leaking out. I am going to wake myself and express half way though the night tonight, so I don't have to wake the girls, just to see how long they will sleep. Wish me luck.

Hi to anyone I have missed. xx
