Thanks so much, girls. sometimes i feel so incompetent...

Roquen - my biggest problem is not having enough milk and each breastfeed takes almost an hr, followed by formula and everything takes an hr and half. and then its time for the next one. Motilium and fenugreek tablets are not helping.
Well done on getting off the shields!!
im going to be on them for a while yet, im getting lots of shooting pains. so im going to express for a day and see if my nipples heal. i was told that shooting pains mean your nipples are pretty damaged.
DH gives him EBM early mornings, and i express. so that helps too.
Glad your having time w your horses. getting out does help doesnt it.

Kirsten - so glad you;re doing better. it's nice to get out of the house isnt it. I went for a quick walk and it made me feel better. im tired of my ass being on the sofa all day feeding. it's hard to walk with my tummy still so wobbly.
whats the best way to get rid of it, it does go away doesnt it?
im waiting for the 6 weeks too. we'll take to the paed and then see how we go.. i know i will never forgive myself for giving up..
I know, the other day i was soo exhausted and my nipples were so painful, we gave him formula. i felt guilty but i thought it was better than me bf-ing and being unhappy and he gets my bad vibes.

off to have some dinner now...
love you all.
