Lea - i have the nuk newborn dummy for alicia and she happily sucks away. its the only one she took to of all the brands. Ali uses it to fall asleep on but then spits it as she converts to the land of nod ....Nice effort going shopping - DFO is great i love the sydney one ... hope you found some good stuff ....

Julie - ouch on your scar .... how painful it must be !! Have you noticed yor scar seems bruised? Mine is quite tender above the scar line and I have to wait for DH to come home tonight to take me to the dr to check it as it is also tender to touch ....

Belinda - sounds like you have a nice little sleeper there - 11 hours wow!!! Has scott gone back to work yet ??

Niamh - Welcome to our group! I hope you find support & friendship in here in the absence of your family - not that anything can replace family but you are free to moan away in here all you need to in order to keep sane!!

Kell - sorry to hear you have been having a tough time hun. All sounds so painful for you ... hope things continue to improve for you so you can feel like your old self again xo

Milly - hun more power to you for coping without dh .... you are superwoman!!! i love the bribe tactics but should be a fun show .... i got my blues day 4 i think but at night when everything seemed a thousand times worse - still does too lol !!! if only we lived closer then i could legitimately offer if you needed anything while dh was away just holler out .... xo

Danielle - how are you going milk supply wise now hun ?? hope things are improving? have you decided what you are doing for your birthday yet ??


We are going ok here. Really getting frustrated at the whole no driving no lifting things rule when I normally am so organised and have everything done ... hard to learn to rely on others so much .... DH working hard but hopefully home early today so I can go to dr otherwise waiting for weather to clear and i will walk down. Ali had sticky eye as well and nurses said the same about breastmilk as it is full of natural goodness !!!

Ali doing well - 4 weeks old next monday on dates cant believe how quick it is going. she feeds every 3-3.5 hours like clockwork and is gaining weight nicely. this morning she has been a little horror though. i feed her at 630 and she still not fully asleep she gets herself to the point of sleep then wakes up again lol ... aaargh lololol one of those days today ....

hope everyone going ok today. is everyone stoked about fathers day - i cant wait to spoil dh on his first one !!!
