    I was feeding her every few hours and boy can I admit that it was very tiring and I was completely over the whole thing and being tugged on and was just hoping for someone to say "put her on the bottle, BF is not working for you"..
    i can totally sympathise with you.... i wish some one could have said it to me yesterday, i was ready to give up .. and is motiillum the same as domperedone??? i cant take maxalon as it give me panic attacks ...

    you can supplement feed through a tube thats taped to your boob and the milk is stored in a botte that goes around your neck , the tubing is so small that bub can latch on and bf as normal but is getting the extra supply ... google medela products , they have them ...

    Gabriella is still very fussy , instead on 30min feeds shes stretched it out to 45-hourly feeds ... but in the arvos its when ever she feels like it .. generally after a 20min cat nap ..

    yesterday after i came back from a walk and had the full blown mastitis symptoms , i needed to rest but everytime i put her in her swing , she would cry and fuss ... i told my mum i had mastitis and she said " put her on the bottle" ( she is very pushy about bottle feeding and i suspect its because both me and my sister BF our babies, and she didnt BF us , so there my be some feelings of guilt and wants us to put babes on the bottle to make HER feel better ... kwim )

    Anyway , i just kept feeding from both sides to drain the bbs but i havent put a pump near them as im too chicken ....

    i am on AB's for mastitis and panadiene and today i feel heaps better , i hope i dont over work myself as i am busy planning the party , ordering cakes etc ... and i also have to do a bit of work ...

    how many times does those babes with reflux poop ... the doc has suspected reflux in G and is try infant gaviscon .. so far its calmed her chronic pain but leaves her extra fussy ... she poops alot , like up to 3 times per hour .. (not 3 times each hour , but ykwim..) and its dark green , not yellow like it used to be ...

    anyway gotta run , have to work at 10.. and i havent even been for a shower yet ....
