Hi Everyone!

Been a busy few days. Won't do many personals cos I have to get ready to go to the Osteopath. Jett is getting his first treatment today!! Cheeky little thing is doing his catnap thing again today but at least he is playing quietly inbetween rather than screaming like he usually does! His poos lately are extremely stinky and runny/explosive. Anyone else getting this? I'm trying to figure out if it is normal or a result of damage done during overfeeding stage.

Oh and Jett's eyes are currently blue - a navy blue, but I am convinced they will go dark brown like his Daddy's. In certain light (sunny daylight especially) they look like they have brown in the background, if that makes sense. My eyes are blue, but they don't look like my colour!

MM - I don't seem to have that issue, but I know I would be annoyed - especially the plates on the BBQ.

Vic - Good luck with the weigh in. Can't wait to hear the good news! C'mon Nakita!!!

My whinge turn - Although I am breastfeeding, I still do 1 or two expresses a day cos I have an oversupply of milk. Because I get so much milk I choose to give Jett at least one bottle a day of EBM. Sometimes when we are out and about for convenience, sometimes when I have visitors and I don't want to flop a boob out in front of them, sometimes cos I just expressed while he was asleep but he's woken up early and I haven't replenished and sometimes at night just to give me a break so I can do other things and DH can have some bonding time with Jett. It works for us but whenever I mention it to people who are really pro bf they are horrified! Yes it is fine to give him a bottle once or twice a week so he doesn't forget how to take a bottle, but not every day. I don't understand the big deal, it is still breastmilk, he has a good feeding habit and sucks equally as well on both and doesn't seem mind in the least. I am also teaching him that it is ok to be fed by other people if I'm not around. Am I overreacting or am I missing something? If I am that's fine, but tell me now before the damage is done cos I can't see a problem.


Ok, better run so we can get to our appt on time!

ETA - Big yes here for the t-shirts!!
