Hello everyone!!

Sehra When I had mastitis, I found having a hot shower before feeding helped to make a painful feed a bit more bearable and I would massage over the lumpy areas to try and free off some of the built up milk. Also after a feed, ice packs helped to soothe my achey sore boobs! I hope it clears up for you soon.

Sara ICan't imagine having to put up with this "devil child" period for 2 weeks or more!!I hope it passes soon!
I hope Colby enjoyed her 2 month birthday and was on her best behaviour

AliI am so pleased for you that Emma is gaining weight, it must be such a relief for you to know that the formula is working.
Have you got your new pram yet? have you had a chance to use it?

Kirsten I know what you mean about the nappy situation. In the process of changing Cam's nappy in the early hours of the morning I got showered in poo, my god i have never seen such a powerful poo explosion!!
The exact same thing happened to my hubby when I left Cameron with him so I could go to the dentist, he was left with a screaming boy for over an hour!!
and finally...your daughter was born on my birthday!!

Kim Welcome, and I hope that Hayden is having a better day today than yesterday!

Rhianon Glad you have finally got a decent nights sleep...now if Jensen could just have a few words with Cameron, I might get some sleep too!!!
Sorry to hear about your hubby's nan. A close family friend of mine had dementia, and it broke my heart every time I spoke to her because it took hold so quickly and she forgot so much.
I hope you get your car fixed soon.

Yesterday was our worst day yet.Cameron would not feed properly, he kept on spitting out my nipple and being very fussy. He would not sleep and he would not settle and my day was spent listening to him crying and crying and crying. In the end I decided to express off my milk and bottle feed him so that I could be sure he got some food. I did this for 3 feeds and it seemed to do the trick.
Today he is sleeping and good natured, although i am not convinced that the feeding issues have completely gone, as he is selectively feeding from one breast, only occasionally accepting both sides.
I finally managed to get him to sleep last night but I think only because he had worn himself out. The only way he would stay asleep was to have "sounds for silence cd" (white noise section) on continuous loop fairly loudly.

Hope everyone is well,
Claire
