Princess we dont get any refund...went through the public system (I think thats what you mean dont you?? still preggo brain for me darl...lol)

Centrelink told us that the Maternity Payment (ie the $3K) takes no longer than 21 days....BUT having that friend of mine work there she said she can have it paid to us in 48 hours...she sms'd me last night confirming it...BUT will wait and see if its there tomorrow or Friday too IYKWIM 8-[

Baby Bonus is paid/claimed at tax time as I understand it too??

How are you all going with feeding???

I feel like I dont stop but I dont want to complain as I had probs with the last 2 and from memory havent lasted 10 days before??? My nipples are going ok but sore, not cracked yet...my boobs are so huge and full...ouchies. Main pain is when she first latches on...i cringe a bit but it eases off pretty quickly

Sometimes I feel like I havent stopped feeding for hours and I'm not sure when she has finished as she will fall asleep on me all the time...i wake her up by tickling her cheek or changing her bum or undressing her and she usually goes on again (she tends to feed for 10mins then falls asleep then I wake her and try again) but sometimes this isnt enough and she can just keep repeating the pattern...like last night it went on like that for 3 hours...very tired mummy here!

My midwife told me to offer as I do but if she keeps going to put her on her side and rythmically pat her back slowly as she might be overtired...this did work but only for about 15 minutes when she woke up to be starving again??

I might need to talk to a LC about it???

Any ideas girls?
