I everyone, it seems ages since I have had time to post, have lurked every so often but seriously busy at work and home as usual. Maria and Sofia have settled into the new childcare but Sofia refuses to take EBM in a bottle or cup so I breastfeed her before I leave in the morning and as soon as I get there after work and they feed her food with lots of liquid in it, plus I bring in stewed apple as well for her, Anyone have any tips on getting her to drink from a sippy cup? She can get the water into her mouth but doesn't seem to get the idea of swallowing it, so it just dribbles down her face. We couldn't even get her to drink EBM or water when I had to stop breastfeeding for 24 hours last Wednesday so I could have a thyroid scan, I had a lump in my neck and had my scan, it turned out to be a broken blood vessel into a thyroid nodule thus creating a lump, the Doctor did a biopsy and drained 6 mls of old blood out of it, now I have to wait 1 month to see if it happens again. He thinks that the exertion of Sofia's birth may have caused the vessel to burst - just a bit scary.

Hope all the bubs and mums are well or gettng better.
