Hi, nice to meet you both!

I just burnt my dinner and lost the message that I wrote so I'll be brief

Question - breastfeeding, which is fine but he is slow on the uptake of food and for the last few days I haven't been able to feed him at all, though he eats at daycare and with nanny. I figure he just gets too much smells from my milk to take food seriously when I'm around. Is there any particular smell I can wash with that will hide the smell? do I need to invest in a lead vest?

Melsky - I send him about a dozen emails and called - brick wall. I only told 1 of our mutual friends and TF refuses to talk to him now believing he's 'on my side' - such a boring way of looking at it. I guess I'm struggling to accept that someone I previously believed was intelligent and brave, who is loved by so many of my friends, is such an a$$ hole

TT My sister got me on to BB straight away, and I am so grateful it exists, but although there were plenty of women to keep me bouyant and strong, none came forth that had had this experience and with regards to birth certificates and centrelink I, like you, was on my own. Plenty of theories abound, but no concrete - "this happened to me and this is what I did" stuff. I'm hoping that we can remain in touch with this thread to offer our support to other women who are sure to come. And perhaps to exchange ideas on how to juggle a baby with the washing, cleaning, showering etc etc etc

I would also like to let you know that I wont be online every night, or sometimes not every week or month - being single from the start can be so much more tiring than the same experience but with a cuddle at the end of the day! You know this and same goes for you I'm sure.

I found that due to time contraints I was so much more distant from my belly & baby buddies, and it just added to my loneliness, i want to try my best not to forget anyone, no matter how long it's been since they posted last

My god what a crusader perhaps i should invest in a CAPE - will that hide the smell of my milk, or do babies have x-ray vision?
