Mrs Bexie: I'm not quite sure why we have to wait so long for the earliest appt. I've just booked her back with the paed that saw her in hosp. Apparently he's really good so maybe that explains the wait. The videos of the floods are horrendous! So glad you're keeping safe by staying at home. I'm glad we've all given birth, can't imagine being in labour with the floods in full force. Do you just get the brauer stuff from the chemist?

Kirsten: We were sorting out the forms yesterday and I realized that DH had used white out on the forms! Now we have to get new forms, I think I have to get them from the hospital coz the online ones are kinda different. Bugger! Can't believe u're back to ur pre-preg weight already?!!? I guess you didn't have the 20kg to lose like me.

csab: I'm hoping for you that the pain is nothing and you can continue to BF Chloe. Claire didn't like the dummy the first time either but my mum sort of forced it into her mouth and she took it eventually. But today she's refused it again when she tried so maybe she doesn't like it that much. It might be really useful for you on that car trip.

Sunnygirl: I probably manage to find time to come in here coz I've still got my gang here cooking and washing for me. When they leave I'm not that sure anymore. :P Bugger off throat infection, you've got enough to deal with feeding and changing a baby. I didn't expect it to be that hard looking after a baby either, looking back at me whinging when I was pregnant, that seemed like nothing compared to now.

Little mrs: Glad that expressing helped your supply. It can be very tough to keep up when u're feeding very frequently but certainly worth it. Claire puts her fist into her mouth sometimes when she wakes up wanting a feed. I'm hoping she doesn't get onto sucking thumbs coz that is going to be worse than being on the dummy.

Claire had an ok night last night. At least there wasn't too much crying but she seems to like being awake for at least an hour after a feed. Had an appt with the MCHN today and she's put on nearly 500g in one week! What a piggy she is! Gotta go, she wailing for mum n the gang is out having Japanese tonight.
