MelanieKate: Woot on the 5 hour sleep! Oliver was doing that, but now he's not - oh well. Oliver will often fall asleep during feeds and lie there with my nipple in his mouth, is that what Lachlan was doing? Have you tried expressing to see what your supply is doing?

As for the poos (lovely subjects we discuss here, hey ), Oliver's are more of a mustard colour, and only sometimes really stinky. No green. Sorry I can't be more help.

AFM: I just did a full feed without the nipple shield! I've had to use one due to flat nipples, but I really want to be rid of them (such a pain having to cart them round everywhere and clean them all the time). I hope I can keep it up and not have to use them anymore. I have an appointment with a lactation consultant tomorrow - hopefully we'll be able to work something out to head in that direction.

How are all the other mummies doing?
