Squidipa - I agree with MT, I would consider the Nipple Shields, it sounds like Josh is have a hard time with attachment and having the ability to stay attached, most likely connected to the TT. I have PM's you a link to Nipple Shields, I used the Medela they are great, they come in a twin pack too, you have to wash them after each feed with warm soapy water, I chuck mine through the sterilizer as well when I have a chance, not really required but if I had room.
Yep same ones used here. Got them at a chemist. And same care as well. Warm soapy water wash for after each feed and I try to sterilize once a day. LC told me that but the instructions say to sterilize after every use - poo to that I say!

Well we have been having a hard time of it over the last couple of days. DH has had a nasty cold for over a week now and finally Jett and I have caught it. So as you can imagine the poor little mite is pretty miserable, and extremely clingy. Thank god for Children's Panadol is all I can say! He was all smiles when he woke up last night so it must be doing the trick. Although he had a nasty tanty this morning.... Feeding this morning has been quite traumatic as he is very snuffly so breathing and feeding is quite difficult. I should know I had the same problem last night. Both sinuses blocked completely so I couldn't swallow my dinner. Try pinching your nose and swallowing - impossible!

I had my first new-parents group yesterday. All 4 of us!! There were 10 invited but only 4 turned up! They are all lovely though and we all have boys. And I think there are 6 girls in the invite group!

Leasha - regarding the green poop - Jett gets it too. He seems to go from bright fluro yellow, mustardy coloured poo, mustardy coloured poo tinged with vegemite through to green. All breastmilk! And apparently all normal and nothing to be concerned about!

Kel - Sorry to hear about poor Cadence. That must have been horrible crying all day and no one taking any notice or thinking to call you.

Sasha - I hope you manage to sort out your weight-gaining/feeding woes.

Squidipa - I hope the MW is helpful next week, but the nipple shields are def something to consider. PM me if you want to ask any details of feeding with one.

Vic - Have fun at premmie playgroup and meeting your friend from the other forum!

Rach - stupid virus! Can't believe you have been to the gym 3 times this week! Mind you I am joining a gym next week so then it will be all systems go... although I am not allowed to do anything too strenuous until after 3 months due to the c-sect.

MM - You are a machine! I don't know how you do it all! I wanna be like you when I grow up!

Big hello to everyone else - CM4E, Pixie and The Bear and anyone else I've forgotten!
