Wow that is cheap! Ours would be about $400 for three months I think!

Thanks Kiwigirl, am feeling a bit better today , still verge tears when ever I talk about it, but getting things under control, going out to get Fengreek, and going to make lactation cookies as soon as I can get the ingredients!

Thanks CM4E

Boobie milk is great for healing scratches etc, Nakita has a bad habit of scratching and grabbing her face (unless I have one of those suits with the little fold down hands), but we put a bit of BM on the scratches and they heal very quickly!!!

Squidipa - that is cheap, Rachel ours is a bit like yours except for one over summer - they hadn't checked the meter and were estimating for ages too, that hurt

MM ~ I HAD contemplated hiking up my full length, cathedral length train and popping out a boob, but, for the sake of the oldies.....LOL. It's going to be an effort to BF during the reception anyway, as my dress is a tight bodice that my girls are going to have to undo almost completely before I can get the milk machines out for Seven! I am going to be investing in a nursing cover that I can use so im not flashing everyone!!!
Oh, and I've tried to 'force' the dummy. She spits it further than I could throw it!! ROFL!! Mental Note - get dummy spit on video!

SquidPea ~I don't know how I do hrly feeds either, but, because shes so settled in between, I just plonk her in her sling and go about my business. Our last bill was $370 but we are electricity hogs!

I am so excited - I am starting my Wedding Planner course through TAFE in November! Woo! Anyone need a wedding planned? LOL

[kiwigirl]

Haha Kell! My friend went to a wedding (wasn't the bride) and said she had to watch that her boobs didn't get too massively full as she started popping out the dress from not feeding for a while!

What kind of sling do you have? I have a Peanut Shell one and Eli loves it but I haven't used it heaps.. and he's getting so heavy lol!

Hi guys

Sorry, haven't been in for a while - been a couple of rough days here with DS - not sure what is up with him but he sure isn't the happiest chappy!!!! Constant whinging really gets me down too - and i start yelling at the poor little bugger...

DD is being a perfect baby - well as perfect as mine get.. lol... she wakes up once for a feed during the night and is getting easier to put back to sleep (thank god!!!) Still don't know how much she weighs cos I couldn't get a clinic appointment this week - have to do it next week.

Squidipa - are you still interested in meeting up tomorrow? I've been in the car two days in a row, so not sure I want to travel very far!!!

Vic - keep your chin up honey - things can only get better!!!!

MM - I'm glad he is getting better - poor little thing!!!

Hi to everyone else - trying to keep it short while DS is watching Elmo on DVD - should really get my butt in the kitchen and clean up cos I haven't been able to do anything these last few days.....

KiwiGirl ~ I have a peanut shell too and Seven absolutely adores it! She loves it and we are using it on a daily basis, whenever I pop out to the shops, when she is unsettled but doesn't want to feed (which is rare), sometimes we even 'wear' her to sleep. So easy! She prefers to be upright than lying down but it is so good it supports her head. I love it.
