Zennie I have to say 'ditto' to what mgm said, a newborn can add a lot of stress to a relationship, to you and I hope that things get sorted out with you and your DP
mgm we managed just fine tonight, even though I cheated slightly and got Jordan McDonald's for dinner, it was one less thing for me to have to think about.
BabyWrangler I only managed to suffer the pain of BF for 36 hours after Oliver's birth (you would think that after pushing such a big bubs out with no pain meds I could handle some excruciating nipple pain) I can vaguely remember (although it was quite a few years ago) that you can buy just the thickener, now i'm not sure how it actually works, whether, you can mix up a little of the powder with EBM and give before a feed, or mix with EBM and bottle feed, or if it is just to be added to other brands of formula, but I am sure that you won't have to give up BF because of the reflux, you may need to see a paediatrician about bub's reflux though instead of just your GP. We managed fine tonight, I really surprised myself

I had a bit of a splurge on some clothes today (actually it was only 'Millers'), I bought 2 pairs of pants and 3 nice trendy tops, I can't believe that I can fit into a size 14 pants and a Large top where before I got pg I was wearing 16-18 pants and XL-XXL tops (depending on the brand) all I need to do now is some exercise to get rid of the last of my belly.
