Ahhh that's lovely thanks for letting us know Lairdoz and congrats on the splodge! :-) Good luck with the pregnancy and all the best. x
Brunette I had to try and get my supply up, so it was recommended that I express in between feeds to boost my milk. As these will be your first babies and you'll have your mum over to help, you will have plenty of time to sit on the couch and feed your babies. I'm sure you'll be just fine, just go with the flow, you know if it doesn't work out it isn't the end of the world. I know when I had my son, I had my heart set on bf, but unfortunately I was unable to and got myself all worked up and ended up with pnd. This time around, I was much more relaxed and didn't set my heart on anything - I just concentrated on a good routine and getting them through the night. My son hasn't come off any worse for being bottle fed, he is perfectly healthy and is hardly ever sick.
By the way Traveller I like your quote you have on your signature, it's so true. I just read your birth story, WOW it is awesome, I am jealous that you were able to move around and go into a birth pool. I had to lay on the bed strapped to the monitor, all I wanted to do during labour was take a hot shower or ly in the bath. Maybe one day I'll write up my birth story too.
