'ello lovely ladies!
Pj- glad to see your doing good!

MelanieKate- at least your trying still! you can do it! i guess i'll sound like a nutter but..relax. take it easy and just let it happen. milk production is as much mental as is it physical! have you been into the breast feeding help and support part of the forum? that may help (its helped me the last 48hrs...)

Sterla - aww, im sure you'll be fine. i used the parentals room at the shops the other day...i think useing that will help build up confidsance. (even though its behind a curton..) i know i'm overly confadent with it after darrens stint in SCN - having several MW grabbing at by boobs trying to get him attached kinda takes the sting out of having 'em floped out! im glad to see oli's growing!

anthiea - Hello! glad to see your still around!

AFM: darren lost 10gs. my stupid MCHN made me feel like crud beucase of it. not to mention she made me freak out about the whole 'hydrated' caper over the weekend. she buggs me as i tried to point out i felt darren had grown longer (hes not a been pole...) and i tried to find out if the fact he is a strong little vegimite would have some kind of affecton waight gain. but she brushed it off as "thats not really applicable" for both but i got my own back X2! she told me if he didnt put on waight (im going to a b/f clinic thursday..) that we'd have to put him on formular. which made me cry...whilest darren was feeding and she goes "oh we better just take him off..." and i snaped at her and told her not to tuch him. she tried again and i said "JUST LEAVE HIM hes fine" which made her pull her head in. then when we talked about settleing him she told me to swaddle him, roll him on his side and stand at his back and pat it so he's settled and i turned around and said "thats just crule! i understand not looking at him...but not allowing him to see me? THATS WRONG. and far, far too much like the toby king methord!" she told me it was NOTHING like it. when i said "not much differance in the cold comfort of a blank wall or a swaddle is there?" but im feeling much better today. i feed him if he looks side ways at me. im waking him for feeds every 2.5 hrs (cus it takes half an hour to settle him) and he seems better for it! but he had his 'awake' time from 2:20pm untill 5 pm with three feeds in there (he seemed hugry and i wasnt going to make him wait!)
Ooo speaking of darren and sleeping...hes awake...im thinking wet nappy and dads settleing skills! hehe. chris will get better im sure
