Misty, The layers are just bcoz the first lot was frozen when the second lot was added, absolutely nothing to worry about. If u leave Ella @ home with someone it is better to give her ebm than formula. u do eventually get used to feeding in public, big jackets make it easier to hide. If any1 says anything, ignore them! EBM stays good in the freezer 4 3 months and in the fridge, 2 days. While Em was only having EBM, I took my pump everywhere with a little esky n an ice brick n bottles. If u feel really full while u r out n don't need / want to bf it works fine if u can get to the parents room. When I 1st started feeding Sarah it took a while 4 me 2 work out the most discreet way of doing it so I do understand how u feel, but BF is becoming more accepted in social circles and doing it in public will make it even more acceptable for future generations. When my mum BFed me it was quite unacceptable to bf in public but she did it anyway, and when my anti public bf dad complained she said did he really want me to catch nasty bugs from the toilets? no. I hope u get my point! Ella doesnt care what every1 thinks, she just wants food. Frozen milk is the next best thing to fresh milk, formula comes last.

Wow that was longer than I expected!

Rhi, Thanks for reminding me, I have to book in for a mothers group for Em. There r no other bubs her age at Sarah's playgroup so really should meet some other mums with August bubs in SA.

Swimming tomorrow! I need some sleep!
